Pete Aston, Marshall ADG, Chartered Manager
I recently completed my Chartered Management Diploma with the help of Steve and Beccy. The depth of knowledge they have in a broad range of subjects is second to none. They both have a unique ability to find the best in you and encourage thought in different ways to achieve the best outcomes.
A personal reflection – key lessons from an unconventional career trajectory and the skills needed to adapt in an uncertain and volatile workplace.
