Personal development planning

Each delegate will complete a psychometric assessment and will be provided with individualised feedback.

They will also be issued with their own ‘Personal Change Canvas’ kit prior to the programme start and asked to think of themselves as a change project.

The programme is structured to help delegates define the change and to achieve it.
After each session, delegates will have completed the latest iteration of their canvas and will take a photograph. Each of the photographs will form a stage in the personal change story which will be use for the final evaluation presentation.
The canvas also provides tangible evidence of progress and a framework for continuing development post programme.
