Why should I be part of Cranfield Trust Peer to Peer?
Our Peer to Peer sessions are based on active learning principles and are designed considering the needs of CEOs and Directors, knowing the pressure and isolating nature of these roles.
"It’s given me strength and enabled me to deal with things in a much more head on way so benefitting the organisation as well as myself. I now intend to use the peer-to-peer approach in our organisation so the impact is rippling out into our charity."
The sessions will allow you to develop your leadership capacity, strengthen your professional resilience and enhance professional effectiveness and productivity. Through peer interaction participants can improve on their ability to respond from a fresh perspective and find new solutions to leadership challenges.
