What our delegates say ...
“The MPP is like neuro gymnastics! In the first module I was challenged, surprised, emotional and exhausted. I didn’t recognise how much this would be about me – and that’s not always a comfortable place for me – but wow, what a change it has made already to my personal impact and application of my personal expertise. Dawn and Craig have this fantastic ability to squeeze every drop of potential out of you, and you quickly realise you’re already applying the learning after day one and benefiting from it. It’s been like having my eyes opened to the possibilities.”
Shelley, Global Director of Diversity & Inclusion
