EY Leadership Academy Review

I really enjoyed this event. It has been so insightful and I feel like my confidence and self-awareness has been boosted massively. The use of the SDI for me was excellent because my strengths and personality traits have never been identified so comprehensively, and now that I know how I work, I feel so more able to put my strengths to best use. The venue was beautiful and the staff were friendly, the whole event was planned and organized excellently, thus representing EY and its values very well. The networking available, again was excellent and the range of EY employees meant that all interests were catered to.

I felt very valued throughout the time here. Unlike many other companies, I wasn't made to feel inferior or unimportant, and the focus was very much on us rather than the company which was refreshing and very attractive.

I received a lot of very useful and constructive support. I really felt that the feedback sessions with both the facilitators and team members was extremely useful and enlightening. Everyone I worked with was very pleasant and accommodating so I felt more than comfortable, in fact almost pampered.

I am so excited to put the skills I have learnt to use. I learned more about myself and how I work over these four days than I have in my past two years at Uni. Its a very conducive development and learning environment and I thoroughly expect that everything I have gained from this experience will help me in the future.

Very well structured. There was little free time which on one hand was quite tiring, but on the other I was always stimulated and engaged. A good balance of theory to practical but if you don't like theory as much I suppose some parts may seem a little tedious.

Lovely atmosphere, great speakers and staff and very well planned activities and events. It is a break away from Uni that I have thoroughly enjoyed and benefited from. Would definitely recommend :)

I pretty much felt like one of the team. I was treated with respect and consideration, given full access to help and facilities

There wasn't that much focus on the roles within the company, as in what you do from day to day, most things were focused in the context of leading.

From what I saw the company is full of diverse, outgoing, relatable individuals who fully enjoy working for the company

It was very helpful in helping me to become more self aware and realising my potential. It wasnt really focused on specific careers but more the means by which we can attain the careers we want, through the way we present ourselves and engage with others.

Everything was paid for and there was nothing to reimburse apart from travel

Yes many

Excellent plenty of food and drink and good conversation

Somewhat, but again this wasnt really the focus

Most definitely
