2020 cohort
"This program really set me in a great place to be able to understand what expectations I should be putting on myself rather than setting myself up for a fail by not setting boundaries and time to do all I wish to achieve."
2020 cohort
The program provided really valuable insights into the recruitment process. Loved the thoughts and tips around negotiating pay and not getting hung up on meeting a job advertisement 100%. I actually gave my cv a complete overhaul as a result."
2020 cohort
"The organisation and time management aspects of the program have been extremely beneficial for me personally, All of the info has been great."
2020 cohort
"I learnt new concepts and ideas from the course. I liked the small business structuring of the day, a different way to use google calendar and how to use Trello for the to-do list as a small business owner and translate this into chunking your day."
