– Ruth Thomson, Housing Options Officer
Whilst I have been a Headteacher for 18 years and have many, many difficult conversations I still felt this course was of use to me. It acted as a bit of time for me to reflect and remind myself of how best to plan, respond and prepare for challenges. Thank you. I enjoyed working with the wider group as the wide variety of roles we all had was helpful.
– Gillian Mann, Headteacher
Many thanks for taking the time to diver the three sessions of ‘Having Difficult Conversations’. I enjoyed the sessions very much. The mix of content was relevant, engaging, practical.
The regular reference to How We Work Matters was a timely reminder as I do not feel we make best use of this in Education. I have made a note to remind all staff of this at our next in-service training day.
A very worthwhile, engaging course that I am sure will impact in the workplace for me and many others.
– Gillian Mann, Headteacher
I found the lectures very approachable, supportive and helpful. I enjoyed every workshop. The interaction with the class helped to see the bigger picture. Hearing the thoughts and opinions from the other students gave me a better understand of different management/learning styles etc and how they are used within the council.
Due to COVID-19 the whole course was delivered through Microsoft Teams. I found St Andrews Management Centre constantly made improvements throughout the course. I found the breakout rooms a very good addition
