There is so much to learn and take in, and your faculty are brilliant, hang on to everything they say, be curious, ask your questions and be open with yourself, share your questions and be vulnerable to get the most from your experience, Network and learn more about yourself and about great attributes of leaders, a path to leveling up or just making you a better version of you."
"What a great week! A beautiful campus and great facilities coupled with world class speakers and a fantastic mix of topics. To come away from this week and not be a better version of yourself simply isn’t possible. Each and every speaker brought their topic to life with their knowledge and personal experience and allowed and encouraged participation from a brilliantly diverse group of students. Aside from the classes, the experience of meeting other leaders from many different backgrounds, countries, companies or organisations was a massive bonus. I’ve made some great contacts and friendships but also a peer group I can reach out to for support, ideas, feedback as I progress in my career and in my personal life. Get your application in, leave the phone and laptop in the hotel room and get ready to learn!"
