I was really impressed of the programme content by the huge amount of work that Barbara put into preparing the course materials, including her online presentations and videos, to make sure it was engaging, interesting and relevant to what I wanted to work on. Throughout the programme Barbara invited my feedback and comments and she would suggest amendments and tweaks if she felt things would work better as a result (they inevitably did!).
