“Prior to a move into the role of Director within my company, I undertook LDL’s Senior Management Programme with Angela, our coach for the three days.

“The course was focused on the needs and objectives of the delegates and provided real world examples and tools that can be applied.” – DL, UK IT Systems Manager, Althea UK&I
“I didn’t think I would learn anything new and thought two days would take up too much time. I was totally wrong – I found the time really valuable, and it motivated me to take a fresh approach to leadership. Before the programme I would have been cynical about how I can make a difference, whereas I now feel as though I am much better prepared and have the knowledge at my disposal to start invoking positive change.” – MT, Director, At the Races
