me understand what being a leader is like.”

didn’t realise what I wanted and now I DO!” !“I think the goal setting session was very good, as it makes everyone individually set goals

and makes you want to reach them.” !“Learning about how to gain confidence and routes which you should take to do so have

impacted me the most, because they have shown me how I can be more confident and believe!” !! !
