“This course is fascinating. You may already instinctively know some of this but have the tools or the framework to deal with any scenario you are presented with – the course gives you everything you need for effective management and leadership. And so much more.”
Tammy Kennedy, Little Bird Films
“A really worthwhile investment to take time out and evaluate your leadership and team. So many things helped me see the staff and situations more clearly as they are unravelled during productions. It was invaluable to help see the bigger picture and have a toolkit of resources and techniques to tackle many individual situations.”
Elwen Rowlands, Little Door
“An excellent opportunity to identify what kind of leader you are and to share experiences of leadership with peers.”
Norma Wisnevitz, True North

Emma Curtis, Firecrest Films
