BBC Radio Leicestershire Doing Big & Scary Goals’ Masterclass June 29, 2011 for the LEAD Programme, NW Development Agency initiative for developing leadership in SME’s Very engaging and thought provoking had me on the edge of my seat It was a very good sum up of the whole lead experience. Very valuable I felt like it could have gone on all day.    I have further to reflect after the event but the FLOW model has already got me thinking of how to improve both home and work.   Complete value I now have a new goal! BRILLIANT especially at the end of the course.   It was all about me! Touched me deeply and looking forward to reading the book.   Completely engaging   Strongly advise to use him again as the last speaker as it closed the relationships between business and personal life and that we do have choices.   Fantastic presentation. The one that I really identified with and will make a real difference to me.    Highly engaging, Interactive and credible entirely down to Andy’s delivery.
