The following is some of the feedback provided from program evaluations:

• Enjoyment and fun;  team bonding;  getting to know other people in more depth.
• Making everyone feel 100% comfortable and getting a laugh every time – definitely a great way to go!
• The positive contributions from all of the participants was a real buzz.  It turned the theory of profiling into a practical ‘to do’ for me.
• I hope that everything I’ve learnt in the last two days will last me a lifetime.
• Great knowledge and looking forward to reading your book!  Changed what I thought might be a daunting experience into an enjoyable and educational one!
• I found the course to be highly valuable.  It’s great knowing that Rockend value their staff enough to provide such a worthwhile and rewarding course.
• Very enlightening and it has given me lots of ‘food for thought’.
• Thought provoking;  follow up and additional activities;  self understanding;  bringing people from Nexia together;  360 feedback.
• Hogan assessments and their depth, especially the Dark Side stuff;  Peter’s excellent war stories;  the requirement of projects from each individual.
• Hogan and 360 – excellent in highlighting my strengths and weaknesses and areas I need to work on;  networking and friendships that have developed over the 9 months;  ‘growing the business’ module – excellent in providing an insight on how to positively grow your business
• Yes.  It’s an opportunity to find out more about yourself and how you can play to your strengths and try and improve on any weaknesses.  Definite value in this for everyone.
• Peter Berry presented excellently – momentum of program was at the right pace and content of program was very interesting.
• 360° feedback and Hogans – gave an insight into ourselves but also how to deal with others;  development of leadership skills in the EQ area;  networking opportunity.
• Excellent!  I have learned an enormous amount and have been able to apply the training immediately.
• It’s surprising how accurate the assessments are, particularly how the Hogan profiles correlated with what came out of the 360.  It reinforced the truth in that feedback and therefore the need to address it.
• After 38 years I have finally been able to put the pieces together in regards to my personality and how it relates to my working life.  I have had time to reflect and see more clearly what has been holding me back.  I’m excited about the next workshop, the coaching, and beginning the long journey to address these problems.
• This is an outstanding program that is rare amongst development courses.  It’s strengths are that it hones in on real action for improvement and development.  Peter Berry was exceptionally well organised and ran the program very smoothly.
• Excellent identification tool for strengths and weaknesses;  provides clear tools for use in personal improvement;  has set performance measures and WILL be a program that achieves real outcomes.
• The 360 and Hogan profiles were the most useful aspects of the LMDP. They have helped me to understand my management style and to try a number of ways to improve.
• The most useful aspect was the feedback from the 360 review and the EQ data. The teams have developed after the course and continue to meet and progress matters.
• This was a brilliant course that I found exceptionally valuable for my own personal development.
• The Hogans. This is a fantastic tool that I will refer to regularly to develop and help understand myself.
• Better understanding of my personality and how it impacts on the people who work for me and people who I report to. A big wake up call.
