Donna created and delivered a fantastic course, with clear alignment to the unique challenges of leading within intelligence. She had meticulously researched and applied this to an engaging learning environment, with actionable takeaways. Her delivery style is clear, well-paced, approachable and adaptable - and she will prod for further discussion when beneficial. This was one of the best courses I have been on this year. Would highly recommend Donna and this course to anyone looking to progress into leadership in the intelligence sector - a well needed learning opportunity in the sector!
