What do our alumni say?

“Top Talent, where do I begin…?”

“I needed training that was more in-depth. I had heard of the course through other colleagues who were graduates of previous Top Talent sessions and spoke with others further about the course and what it would deliver for me as a leader.”

Top Talent course attendee

“A fascinating to step outside of my comfort zone”

“It’s been fascinating to step outside of my comfort zone and regular arena of work and see at first-hand how systems are discussed, created, changed & developed and ultimately get rolled out through large organisations.”

Anonymous Change Agent course attendee

“Beneficial for the cyber security project I’m working on”

“Trainers were very knowledgeable and great at answering questions. Simulation was very useful and listening to the discussion between others was beneficial for the cyber security project I’m working on.”

Cyber Breach course attendee

“Got me to think differently”

“The concept of having different intelligence was really interesting and has got me to think differently.”

Valuing Diversity workshop attendee

Managing and Motivating Remote Teams session attendee

An Introduction to Emotional Intelligence workshop attendee

“It was great meeting other people from other organisations (especially in this pandemic) – took me out of my narrow world.”

How to be an Effective Coach workshop attendee
