Previous candidates have said
- "Gorgeous setting - tasteful, professional, comfortable and a generous and warm host. A really lovely group of people from an interesting array of businesses. Delicious food provided for us throughout the day. We were all made to feel really welcome, the team gelled well and so did most of the coaches. There was a huge amount of information shared, in a relatively short & intense time period. Offering a photographer and a business coach through were really, really lovely extra touches - you went above and beyond expectations by offering this. Thank you." Milly W
- .. it is hard to imagine how one could improve any of the content and it was all extremely well executed." Sarah MW
- "The BNW Reskilling course was fabulous. It exceeded my expectations on every level. Katharine left no stone unturned in her organisation, attention to detail and the welcoming and collaborative nature of the whole event. The hand-picked Coaches were not only all experts in their field but fun, informative and very generous with their knowledge." The word that comes to mind when I think about the 2 days is collaboration. The other participants were all amazing women with exciting plans. This infused the whole event and I not only learnt a lot, but have also made some fabulous new contacts. The opportunity to have our business photos done professionally was amazing, as was the opportunity to work with an experienced Life Coach. I have come away from the course buzzing with ideas, passion and excitement for the future. I cannot recommend this course more highly and I will definitely be doing any follow up courses that BNW offers.Thank you so much BNW - this is a brilliant concept!" Jo D
- I thought the course was very good and much prefer learning interactively." Lorna B
- "Well done and thank you very much for the faultless organisation of the really informative course last week. There was no doubt that all the speakers you had organised were at the top of their field. They not only managed to really inspire all of us, with their invaluable knowledge, but were extremely helpful and more importantly patient! It was great to meet the others in our group, strangely we all seemed to have many things in common despite all the different locations of our home lives. I would love to sign up for a ‘refresher’ course if you find time to organise one for us." Lotte L
- "...a big thank you for organising the whole course, for bringing together such brilliant people to teach us, each one so enthusiastic and knowledgable and patient! I hope you were pleased with how it all went, you should be. I found it all very inspiring and enjoyed meeting everyone. What a great group of women. I have come away with several things but most importantly for me that I have to have a stronger back story and belief in what is achievable!" Sophie F
- "I couldn’t think of anyone better to host BNW’s reskilling programme. Your warmth and enthusiasm for BNW and for all the participants is infectious. You have a gift for putting people at ease and for making them feel good about themselves. The mood at the end of the conference was incredibly upbeat and I felt like I had learnt an awful lot. I came out feeling empowered and confident." Victoria P
- "This is a fantastic 2 day course packed full of useful information to help give you the confidence you need to return to work or to help you if you are setting up a new business. It's fun, interactive, really helps with confidence and meeting like minded people. I can't recommend it highly enough. You can also enjoy the wonderful setting in the AllBright Club. Katharine works tirelessly to make the 2 days a really positive and helpful experience. It doesn't matter what your experience is - there's a great have a go mentality. Check out Bold New World...."
