"Previous delegates had told me Special Edition was ‘life-changing’. I wondered how one course could really impact a life in such a big way. And it wasn’t until closer to the end that I saw how much it’s changed mine. I wish every woman in digital across Scotland could go on Special Edition and realise their dreams too."

"I would say that Special Edition changed me but in fact it didn’t – it amplified me. I came out more ME that I have ever been – a more focused and courageous version of myself. My ambition grew, my self-belief grew and my determination grew. I have realised that I went in with all of these things but Special Edition empowered me and gave me the courage to accept my ambition - and own it!"

"Taking time out of your business is really hard to do, but that one day a month at TRC is some of the best time I've spent. I have a renewed confidence, I feel focused, in control and excited about the future."
