JUNE 2016
I feel really lucky to have been selected for a place on The Academy as in a sense it’s you and Phil saying that you believe in my vision and more importantly, you believe in me. This in turn is making me believe in myself more so it really is win-win.
Group dynamic is key to the success of The Academy and you’ve both focused on this from day one. Everyone is made to feel as if they have a contribution and no one is made to feel that their lack of experience in any field is a problem. Instead we are all there to offer the skills that we excel in individually which makes for a really strong workforce!
The peer support is wonderful and I really liked the addition of “Group Therapy” this week. Our experiences are so vast and wide reaching but i’m sure everyone in the group would agree that we’ve all got something to learn, even if we’ve not realised that yet!
I feel more empowered to embrace the idea of Networking since starting the academy as this is something that I have shied away from up to press.
I’m also starting to speak like a business woman!!!! For example, yesterday I was at a jeans fitting event doing mini make-up taster sessions and I approached the jeans fitter and asked “tell me more about your brand?” I think this will be hugely beneficial for me moving forwards as the language I use will make me more credible.
I’m loving the sessions and feel as if i’m getting real quality out of them with lots of “food for thought” when I leave each one.
A big thank you to you both for giving me a huge steer in the right direction! Jill Clark – Styled in Colour
