I feel inspired. No matter what I tried, I couldn't get into the zone with my boss and I started doubting my abilities because I had been unable to figure out his preferred style of working. However, within three weeks of starting The Strategic Business Partner, not only have I noticed a difference in the way we interact, but my boss has been very complimentary and we are on our way to a great working relationship. I feel revitalised and that is just from implementing a few pointers from the program. I feel very encouraged.
