Here's what former participants say

This course makes you feel empowered

Alice

This course was a great discovery that you are not alone. It's been a game changer for personal growth and development. It made me face difficult issues I had avoided because I didn't know what to do. I have implemented the things I learned in this course and they have helped my career a year on.

It's great having reassurance

Amy

The course is a valuable tool to assess your own needs and work towards building a balance that reflects your own needs and wellbeing. Leyla’s support and guidance is understanding and constructive, and I would recommend the environment that creates a safe space for personal development.

I love the fact it was flexible

Malasree

I found this course really useful, and I would really encourage people to go for it. For a start, you are actually forced to think about whether the work life balance that you have works for you or not - and that in itself is a really useful. The best thing about this course was its flexibility, and the fact that one is able to use the tools to adapt to one's own circumstances. So, for example, I found the simple strategies for prioritising tasks really useful - small changes made a big difference to my own work life balance. Some of the resources of this course, I will be saving for later - to dip in and out when required.
