An up to date awareness of equality, diversity and inclusion and how it can apply to my specific role. Also served as a refresher of the importance, and the equality act 2010. Great trainer - she was very engaging and I loved the anecdotes which bought the content to life.

I now have knowledge on the techniques used in mentoring and the differences between mentoring and training someone. The trainer, Sue Noble, was excellent, she was well experienced in the topic, had a good level of interactive tasks and adjusted the training to the attendees needs and what we wanted to take away from the session.

It filled me with confidence and understanding on the role of a manager. We had a lovely group of people and it was really interesting to meet different people from different authorities and hear their experiences.

I have taken away some ideas to help me use my time in a way that will be more productive. Planning at the end of each day for the following day. Having a list of three things, must do, should do and could do.

It gave me a better understanding of different strategies on how to diffuse a contentious call.

Gave me a good understanding of considerations that need to be made when delivering a training session. Being aware of the varying learning styles of individuals in order to account for everyone.

It has helped me a lot with setting up appointments, creating the agenda for it and also taking the minutes. Since the training I have had positive feedback on the meeting minutes I have taken and agendas I have created.

[covered] all aspects of form of communications, relevant to my role.
...very comprehensive and covering all types of communications and aspects of how better to understand and respond/react.

It helped me to identify signs to look out for and ways that this can be reported. I thought it was very interesting course. The fact that the trainer was able to inject life experiences into the course also made the course interesting. Thank you

1. It gave me a vocabulary to form a basis of new ways of approaching my mental health and negative thinking patterns, some of which I have been able to already directly apply to my life. I think this course would be beneficial to all, but as it was shared across authorities, we met a broad range of likeminded people.

2. ..thought provoking ways to build new brain habits. The content and pace was perfect for 4 hours training

Overall, the MDP for New Managers met my expectations and provided me with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to excel in my managerial role. It not only met my objectives but also set me on a path of continuous improvement and growth as a manager. The sharing of a management development program by different authorities enhanced its quality, relevance, and credibility. It provided us with a more comprehensive and adaptable learning experience, enabling us to become more effective and well-rounded managers in our respective roles.

New skills; greater understanding of my 'drivers' and how/why I need to control these and 'put work back in its box' and not let it dominate my life! An excellent course I will be recommending to colleagues and my team managers.

It has helped me to better understand the symptoms and effects of the menopause which will allow me to better support my team. The trainer was interesting and engaging. Very knowledgeable about the subject and gave me the tools required.

It showed me how I work at present and how I could adapt that way to be more rounded. It taught me how to look at myself and how I work before possibly going for an internal advancement.

How to summarise and identify the main points for the readers to engage with. Really great trainer, interesting and helpful with constructive feedback.

Very comprehensive info on nutritional benefits of different foods so useful to know for making dietary choices during perimenopause or menopause.

Have a better understanding of symptoms and the menopause in general - being able to share with others in the workplace. Setting time aside to have conversations - making sure there are no stigmas attached. Make myself available as a manager and colleague for conversations/discussions - open communication/listening. Recognise the need to make adjustments in the workplace for individuals different needs.

1) ..it left me wanting to learn a lot more about the subject and practical steps I can take to make the necessary change. I have a better level of awareness of essential work we must undertake to meet Climate change targets.

2) Rick, the trainer was really engaging. There was a great balance between content, discussion and explanation. I thought the presentation itself was great as well, explained a sometimes complicated topic very easily.

The trainer Ali was fantastic. She kept on topic, really explained well and gave great examples. She always ensured everyone was happy at participating and being included as well as managing expectations and giving advanced warnings where needed if there was a particularly difficult topic on the course. She was very knowledgeable on the MHFA subject. I'd recommend the course to all staff.

Gave me some useful tips to use when conducting 121's. I found the scaling tool very useful as well as this is one i can use immediately with my team.
