    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?
  • The EY leadership academy taught me invaluable lessons about how to be a better leader but also how to develop strengths which I didn't necessarily know I had within me. The organisation as well as the tasks were challenging but also extremely fun!
