What some of our participants said
When I started the course, I was a little concerned it wouldn’t be relevant to a small start-up like Forage. But I quickly realised that pretty much all of the tools are completely attuned, helpful and in fact might actually be easier to implement than in a larger company! – Matt Wakefield, founder of Forage Studio
I have learned lots about the theory, (more than I knew already!) and had many questions answered. I have loved the in-depth conversations and discussions and feel that I know much more about how [autonomy and empowerment] work. I now understand the complexity of self-managed organisations and I think I understand how to go on the journey to get there with GCBC. – Rae Bell, Gloucester Community Building Collective
What I have taken away is that self-management is the future for all organisations. And it is hard but just give it a try, you may like it. – Damian Mears, co-founder Third Space Group
What I have learnt is the theory and practice of self-management; including practical tools and approaches, wider concepts and examples of organisations who are already doing it. I have had an opportunity to reflect with people from different backgrounds/organisations about my ambitions (and theirs). I felt excited, curious and connected with the trainers and the course participants. - Anne Brinkhoff, former Local Authority executive director
