Third Sector Evaluation Report
Testimonial : School
At the start of the course 31% of participants reported feeling that ‘leadership’ was ‘not like them’ – the lowest rating they could give themselves in relation to their ability to lead. By the end of the programme none of the participants reported feeling this way.
