Today, and for the next two-days, the managers-to-be that I’ve been coaching in people-skills over the past twelve-months will be put through their paces.
The client is using a series of case studies, an OtJ Project, knowledge tests, and a formal presentation (phew!) to see how much they’ve learned and put into practice.
Wishing them luck!
