It was an eye-opener to find this course as I was struggling with rating myself lately. In addition, this course helped me identify my pathway through change as a clinical practitioner who received a promotion to the managerial level.

I really recommend this programme. All the leadership modules are amazing and really beneficial. I thought in a few situations in my practice that I am doing something wrong and I was blaming myself. However, after I went through these modules I saw the situations from a different perspective and received many new ideas for better management.
