I have said yes to a lot of professional opportunities I would normally feel too scared to do -these "risks" have paid off (applying for a placement, agreeing to review a paper, going on a training course). At the same time, I have had the confidence to say no to a lot of opportunities which felt like extra work that would not have paid off.

Your presentations were so enlightening and so comprehensive. I like the way you look at things. I benefited from them all. Thank you. We had an exceptionally useful interaction. The discussion in the groups was extremely useful and mind stimulating. Listening to the way ladies are coping during this period was enlightening. The challenges discussed were cutting across many of the women.

Liked most about workshop: I really enjoyed the advice given about the CV, interviews and LinkedIn. This helped me to think of these more as tools to present myself instead of simply forms to fill in order to apply for a job.

Strength of programme: Personalization - I don't know if it was for the skill of trainer or influence of having continuous contact over the course of years, but addressing precise problems of the trainees and keeping them up and working was on extraordinary level.
