Testimonials
“We’ve worked with Cambridge Exec to build our scientists’ management skills, with a focus on improving communication and collaboration. The training and coaching were carefully tailored to our needs, and were extremely well received. We’ve seen a marked improvement in project communication as a result of the programme, and our staff have become much more aware of the value of building and maintaining relationships to the success of their projects. The training has provided a fantastic return on investment, and I’m delighted to recommend it to others.”
Craig Mills, CEO, Vizzuality
“The management development programme developed for us by Cambridge Executive Development has been a big success with both the managers who have attended the programme, and the colleagues they work with in their day-to-day roles. The programme included modules looking at various aspects of team development, communication and leadership skills, and concluded with presentations from the delegates to senior managers. Over a year on from the start of the programme, we are extremely happy with the quality and impact of the training, which is now well into its third cohort of managers. We would happily recommend Cambridge Exec to other companies interested in developing first-class managers and future business leaders.”
Amanda Touhey, Markel International
“This course was unlike any other I have been on and it has been nothing short of transformational for me! I am weaving aspects of it into areas of my life both inside and outside of work with great effect… I am noticeably more confident and self-aware since I took part on the course and feel empowered to develop my career in a way that plays to my strengths and embraces change.”
Dr Rachel Cavanagh, British Antarctic Survey
“”The Lab to Leader program provided very valuable insights and guidance for professionals with research backgrounds who are transitioning into leadership positions! I learned new skills that are not taught in graduate training, but are quite critical for the success of those managing large teams and programs. This program equipped me with the necessary tools to excel in my new role and face challenges with confidence. I would highly recommend this program to others!”
