“The partial lockdown seemed a good time to sign up for this course of four one-hour sessions, with time in between for the ideas to settle. There were four of us with the trainer, which was perfect for an online course: everyone could speak and ask questions, knowing the others would listen and answer. The discussions were very rewarding! I come away with several ideas to energise the projects I am developing, in tourism in particular, and good ideas for involving my colleagues in a targeted way.”
