Course testimonials

It was a very helpful and insightful course that I enjoyed immensely. Alastair was very relaxed and informative. He put us at ease which helped us to speak freely. I will be putting into practice simple aids that I have learnt and hope to pass on what I have learnt today to inspire others to have a more positive mindset

This course served as a re-emphasis on not panicking when you’re under stress. A cool and calm approach solves majority of the problems: a very useful reminder!

From this course, I’ve learned that when tasks are building up, categorisation of those into easy, not very easy and difficult can really help in prioritising. We also need to frame these tasks under headings of utmost urgent, urgent and non urgent categories. This approach looks quite simple and applicable!
