I am National Accounts Controller with 20-years’ experience within the AFH (Away From Home) paper hygiene and wiping market. I have a strong management, new business and account management skills developed in B2B markets, with the flair for improving performances with good KPIs and maximising opportunities by setting SMART objectives.
I have been running a successful team of National Account Managers for around 8 years through various challenges such as the pandemic, Brexit, various service issues and inflation.
My line manager is looking to retire in the near future, so I wanted to develop my leadership skills to hopefully lead the entire commercial department.
The course content focused on three key themes, managing self, managing others, and managing teams and organisations, each developing vital skills needed to lead teams successfully.
Managing self was the part of the course that I found the most useful to me, personally. I believe that when you understand yourself, you will be able lead and manage others, much better.
The self-reflection and self-awareness were the two biggest aspects of the course that I enjoyed the most. It was comforting to learn that I was doing a lot of things right and I should continue to do them, but it also highlighted my weaknesses and ways I could manage those areas better in the future.
It was a very thought-provoking course with great content, but the course was made even more special by all the other delegates taking part because everybody was fully engaged and wanted to learn. It was a fabulous few days!
The course content was exactly what I was looking for, as I was looking for a course on leadership, not management.
I have already started to look at everything a little differently within my team, and the small changes that I have implemented are already having a positive impact. I believe the techniques I learn on this course will help me become a better version of me, which will have a big impact on my team and the business.
If this sounds like the right course for you, I'd say go for it because the facilities, people and the content will be second to none!
