Graduate Professional Development Workshop

As part of Jackadder’s Graduate Development Program, our cohort of Digitial Officers (IT Graduates) recently participated in a Communicate with Influence workshop facilitated by Catie Kirk of ART Your Life.  

Communication is one of the most important leadership qualities to have. Communication moves information. Influence moves ideas into action, and produces an effect without the use of force or command. Becoming a strong communicator and influencer could be the key to getting your proposals, ideas, and projects over the line. 

The workshop was practical, fun and engaging with all participants enjoying the session and finding valuable to their personal and professional development.
