...it's been a real pleasure spending time together and selfishly from my point of view the focus has been on me! I have found the experience enlightening, challenging, very therapeutic and have come out of it feeling I have more clarity as to what I want out of things going forward and a reminder of how others must perceive me. I recognise that although I don't like being challenged as to 'why' and 'what do you mean by that' if only others would do the same and be so open with feedback there would be real tangible benefits for all. I now have a route forward, understand how I'm going to get there and my personal timescales. This has made me feel considerably more relaxed which in itself not only benefits me but my team and my work balance – Head of Trading, M&S 2013
