Testimonials

“Yes – really informative and applicable to all. I will apply this for myself and in managing others, as the techniques feel practical and relevant. The session worked well virtually and has given me strategies I can continue to use in my day-to-day work.”

Laura Pollard – Career Development Consultant, Civil Aviation Authority

“A good reminder of the ways we can support ourselves and others when times are difficult. Emma-Jane was great – very clear and engaging. I think it may have worked even better face-to-face, as some colleagues didn’t feel comfortable speaking up online, but even so, I found it very helpful and came away with new tools as well as refreshed ones. It’s a course that gives you confidence that resilience can be built with practice.”

Jill Cox – Senior Banknote Operative, Bank of England

“Building resilience is not only work related, it’s personal as well. Emma-Jane was an excellent, clear trainer with a good pace, and the subject was very well presented. I particularly valued the focus on practical ways you can help yourself, manage stress, and make changes in your life. It’s a topic everyone can relate to, and the course made it engaging and relevant.”

Bob Symons – Banknote Operations Team Leader, Bank of England
