"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!"
