“This week has all been about learning and every day has been a ‘school day’! Today I attended the HOW2HR Management Training with the very talented Nicki Crowhurst – HOW2HR Ltd. Wow what a revelation! The whole group was blown away by some of what we learnt. I have to say that I think all Leaders and Managers would benefit from this course, but additionally, all employees! It could help anyone understand their behaviours and lead themselves and others. Mindset is the key!”
