Client feedback (One of many)
We wanted our people to move away from being a passenger and to stop relying on others to manage their career planning; we wanted them to look towards taking Ownership, Accountability and Responsibility.
David’s style was very direct and in some cases shocked our people in to conversations that lasted well beyond the conference, and even 4 months on his words are often referred to when having career conversations.
I don’t know what we will do at next year’s conference as David is a hard act to follow!!!
