I found the summer school incredibly useful . I feel as if it has not only improved my
ability to be a leader in the short term , but also in the long term.
8/2/11 8:52PM
It was one of the most enriching and inspiring events I have ever attended, and
masterfully not only developed my insight into business and leadership but allowed
me to grow as an individual.
8/2/11 9:59AM
The summer school was very useful. It provided me with a greater appreciation of my
personality type and therefore increased my awareness of how to use it in team
situations. The summer school was also very inspirational in meeting all the extremely
successful mentors and speakers.
7/27/11 1:09PM
I learnt a lot about leadership and business. It also inspired me to push myself and
aspire to be the best.
7/26/11 7:28PM
Extremely inspirational and the challenge and morning sessions really aided with
weaknesses I have had trouble overcoming.
7/25/11 9:14PM
The insight obtained from the speaker enriched me with at least 2 years of experience
putting me ahead.
7/25/11 11:11AM
I found out a lot of useful things about not only myself but how I deal with others. I
learnt everything from time management techniques to influencing and the invaluable
knowledge of business culture.
7/25/11 9:11AM
It was very useful because the different strands of the format complemented each other
very well and made it easy to take information. In addition the sessions were facilitated
very well and professionally with take home material that aided reflection

7/24/11 12:23AM
I found the Powerlist Summer School incredibly useful in understanding what has
helped leaders of today to become who they are and also the importance of knowing
your market.
7/23/11 5:06PM
The summer school brought together fantastic group of students who enjoyed working
with and enthusiasm they for the summer school and networking with them was
inspiring. The keynotes speaker were exceptional, the fact that they gave up their time
their story taught a lot about leadership.
7/22/11 6:40PM
The Summer School was extremely useful and a lifechanging event.
7/22/11 5:32PM
It was very insightful to how flexibility has the greatest impact on the leader's lives and
interesting to know that they all had different routes to success and different ideas
throughout their lives on how to achieve success. To meet likeminded individuals who
all have the foresight to succeed was very refreshing, and to get us to meet/work in the
professional circumstances worked well in highlighting the mutual potential,
aspirations and enthusiasm.
7/22/11 4:45PM
I went it not 100% sure about my career choices and now I know I have a stronger idea
of what it is exactly that I want to do.

8/2/11 8:52PM
It went far above and beyond.
8/2/11 9:59AM
Almost every aspect surpassed my expectations, the organisation of every session was
perfect. The guests and mentors were all inspiring as to the level of success they have
reached.
7/27/11 1:09PM
I did not come with any preconceived expectations, I just thought that it would be well
organised, which it was.
7/26/11 7:28PM
Exceeded my expectations greatly
7/25/11 9:14PM
It even redefined what I considered a leader to be. I never considered how factors like
integrity and trust really are.7/25/11 11:11AM
It managed to exceed all my expectations as not only were the speakers of an
exceptionally high standard but the students I met inspired me as well; making the
focus on leadership easier to comprehend since it was exemplified nearly everywhere.
Also, the variety of ways we were taught everything from interviews to presentations
and activities made sure each message resonated with me.
7/25/11 9:11AM
The summer school surpassed my expectations.
7/24/11 10:49PM
The fact that every moment of the school was focused on leadership it clearly showedme the various aspects required to be a leader.
7/24/11 7:02PM
My expectations were exceeded.
7/24/11 11:37AM
I think it was excellent at covering all the different aspects of leadership that are not
easily learnt else where and only available through meeting some of the most
successful individuals in the UK
7/24/11 12:23AM
The Powerlist Summer School met my expectation of learning about learning about
leadership and more. It provided the platform to learn about leadership theoreticallyand practically.
7/23/11 5:06PM
I think the most important thing i got out of this is that leadership is not about yourself
but also its about others and giving back.
7/22/11 6:40PM
I feel that my expectations of learning about leadership were exceeded as I did not only
learn about leadership in one form but I learnt about different types of leadership
which are all effective.
7/22/11 5:32PM
It drew awareness to various elements of overlooked characteristics within leadership.By drawing attention to these it was helpful to identify why or why not we influence

others. However, some of the material was not entirely new and as future leaders some
of us had already been exposed to particular tests; where the school excelled was the
analysis and application of these tests/theories to real world business'/leaders.
7/22/11 4:45PM
Being introduced to the MBTI allowed me to understand that as a leader, one has to
take in to consideration the people and their personalities in order to lead them
successfully.
7/22/11 3:43PM
Met leaders of different fields and therefore learnt about different characteristics of
leadership.
7/22/11 3:41PM
When I first cam to the programme I had no idea what to expect. I was pretty clueless
about the whole thing really so the programme completely and utterly exceeded my
expectations! Additionally, when I heard that it was about leadership I didnt think that
there was so much that could be said but I was pleasantly surprised. The programmeredefined leadership to me and for this I have truly grateful!
7/22/11 3:38PM
My communication skills in particular has improved greatly. It usually takes me a while
to start a conversation or think of good questions to ask people I have never met
before. The powerlist summer school has helped with this greatly.

how I am going to get there.

I will reflect a lot more on my thoughts and procedures after completing tasks or set
activities. I noted the importance of reviewing things we do to truly get the most out of
it
8/3/11 10:54PM
As a result of the summer school I will think further about my future. I also feel as if I
will enjoy any opportunity where I can be a leader .

people and I will pay more attention to the things I am passionate about as opposed to
working overtime to earn more money.
7/25/11 2:10PM
plan more research more and not just get on with things.
7/25/11 1:20PM
Henceforth I will be more proactive and think like a leader at ALL times
7/25/11 11:57AMI will approach my life in a more pragmatic way while trying to adhere to a healthy
balance. Although at the same time be open and flexible, because things may not
necessarily go as planned.
7/25/11 11:11AM
I will always prepare or approach tasks with a clear aim e.g. like we did in the meet the
market session.
7/25/11 9:11AM
Set deadlines and pull rather than push the members of my committee because it is a
more effective leadership and influencing style. I will seek out a mentor.

ensure that I act accordingly.
7/24/11 7:02PM
I will approach team tasks differently, considering the new insights I have gained from
my MBTI and learning style. I will work hard to complement people who are the
opposite to me and work towards success. I will also give greater attention to data
analysis as the insight session was eye opening.
7/24/11 11:37AM
Be proactive will make sure I go for every opportunity available to me that will take

In relation to the amazing session on body language, the way in which I conduct myself
in interviews etc due to be more informed I will be able to concentrate more on actions
I should be displaying.
7/23/11 5:06PM
Two important messages i got from the summer school are belief and hard work. This
will take opportunities and do the best at the thing i do.
7/22/11 6:40PM
I will grab any opportunity with open hands. I think that one of the most important
things I've gained from summer school is confidence. Confidence to go after everything
that I want and confidence to deal with any bumps along the journey.
7/22/11 5:32PM

rather then pondering endlessly and taking no action Have more confidence in myselfand my abilities
7/22/11 3:38PM
Learn to balance all aspects of my life.
7/22/11 3:14PM
The msot valuable session of the summer school was the MBTI and Learning Styles
session. This is because it helped me analyse areas of myself which I need to improve
on in order to be a future leader. This aspect of the summer school made me realisethat it is not that I have to change my core values but having the ability to adapt in
different situations
8/4/11 9:26AM
Key note speakers they truly inspired and motivated me to become a leader via my
actions and not just through my words. They have all done amazing things with their
life and although a lot of their career paths differ, there are key character traits which
seem to reoccur in each of them and that made me look at myself and assess how I can
8
learn to do things differently to set myself on the right path to success
8/3/11 10:54PM
The most valuable aspect of the school in my opinion was meeting other young likeminded people. It has not been common in my life to be around other people who work

very hard and have a lot of ambition. This summer school was one of the first time i was
around people ' like me ' and this is a very positive thing . So I think the fact that the
program brings people together is the most important aspect. In terms of the actual
schedule I would say the talkers are the most important because they give inspiration .
Nevertheless the practical sessions are crucial try and put some of the inspiration intopractice.
8/2/11 8:52PM
I find it difficult to specify a particular portion, but I believe that hearing from the
Keynote speakers was the most valuable as it was almost as if our futures were
manifested before us.
8/2/11 9:59AM
MBTI session. I know my personal skills, and that there are many other ways to be a
true leader.
8/1/11 9:27PM
Dr Ken's opening speech had a great impact on me, because it was so simple, but yet soprofound. He allowed us to see the journey to accomplishing our goals and achieveing
our dreams from a challenging and enlightening perspective, by focussing on the bigger
picture and the final destination and working out the best route and the most crucial
steps to get there.
8/1/11 12:44AM
The session on the MBTI as it is something that is easily memorable and can be easily
used in life.
8/1/11 12:16AM
the teamworking challenge because it gave me the opportunity to get outside my
comfort zone and work with people of different perosnalities7/28/11 11:53PM
I felt the meet the market session was most valuable as one got an idea of different
leadership structures and styles within different organisations.
7/27/11 1:09PM
MBTI/Learning styles; made me more aware of myself and gave me the opportunity to
learn about other people's personality and learning styles.
7/27/11 11:07AM
The CV session because I learnt a lot about what employers are looking for in a
graduate CV and the difference between a good and bad CV
7/26/11 7:28PM
Presentations of what leadership was, was an active part of the programme which gave
us the chance to collaborate with others to work together to accomplish something.
7/26/11 4:21PM
The challenge and networking sessions. because it allowed me to put the skills and
kowledge I had learnt and recive feedback from assessors.
7/25/11 9:14PM
The MBTI and Learning styles as this made me understand other people's preferences
better

influencing workshop, MEET THE MARKET and PRESENTATION SJILLS because the
both allowed me to assess the skills i already had and helped me developed skills that
are approriate for the future. MEET THE MARKET in a particular way helped me get a
real sense of direction for a career.
7/25/11 1:20PM
MBTI/Learning styles session. It gave me a better understanding of myself and how I
can work better with people. It has also made me more confident in myself. I believe
that these are necessary qualities of a leader.
7/25/11 11:57AM
The MBTI test exercises. This is where I learnt some hard and some uplifting truth
about my personality. Which will enable me to tackle problems more effectively in the
furture.
7/25/11 11:11AM
Hearing the keynote speakers or talking to some speakers during networking, as not
only did they inspire me they helped emphasise to me what you need to truly become aleader.
7/25/11 9:11AM
The team challenge which we worked towards and presented; it helped us realise and
put into practice everything that we had learnt and really appreciate its importance.
7/24/11 10:49PM
The MBTI/learning style sessions were the most valuable as they enable me to learn
about myself in such a way that I now clearly recognise my strengths and weaknesses.
7/24/11 7:02PM
MBTI and Learning syles because It was something I had not done before to that extent
and exposed extremely valuable information about how I operate best and how I can
improve
7/24/11 11:37AM
The presentation task was amazing, it helped us draw together concepts and utilise
some the skills we had learnt through the week
7/24/11 12:23AM
I feel like I've learned how to unlock my potential
7/23/11 10:56PM
I found the styles of learning and MBTI sessions most valuable as I am able to
specifically put these into practice immediately in my final year or studies and in
relating to others.
7/23/11 5:06PM
Networking. I learnt the importance of networking and chances it gave learn on steps I
could take reach my potential and the opportunities that are out there. I think because
of the chances we got network, it taught me how to network successfully
7/22/11 6:40PM
The most valuable session of summer school for me was the MBTI session as I was able
to learn about mself.

7/22/11 3:41PM
ALL OF THE KEY NOTE SPEAKERS It was pure inspiration seeing people who have put
all of the leadership skills we were learning about into action Also the group
presentation it taught me alot about myself and gave me more confidence in myself
and my abilities
7/22/11 3:38PM
The most important aspect was meeting other students as they will be the people I'm
liking to work with in the future.
7/22/11 3:14PM
The least valuabble session for me was the CV breakfast session. I thought the session
was going to be more thorough in terms of my personal cv however it was just a
general overview. In addition, we did not get the opportunity to work through
application forms.
8/4/11 9:26AM
The influencing work shop; I expected to learn how we would be able to influence
others in the work place or in life in general and felt the session looked at a veryindirect style of assessing this
8/3/11 10:54PM
The breakfast sessions on time management was the least valuable. I think this was
because advice on working on time management can be found in many places and the
information is usually very similar.
8/2/11 8:52PM
The least valuable...There wasn't one.
8/2/11 9:59AM

8/1/11 9:27PMI think everything was valuable.

non
7/28/11 11:53PM
the Q&A panel session I felt was least valuable as a lot of the question could have been
covered by a short 10 minute presentation by each of the panelists. Any additional,
industry specific question could have been answered in the networking session.

7/27/11 1:09PM
Influencing; even though I learnt what the difference between influencing and
persuading is, I don't feel like I actually learnt techniques of how to get my point ofview across to others.

CV workshop, perhaps because I already knew most of the stuff mentioned and perhaps
the workshop was geared more to how to do a CV for "deloitte" as opposed to perhaps
more specific tailoring of or CV's.
7/26/11 4:21PM
Time management as it comes down to my own discipline it was good to be reinforced,
but ultimately we do know how to keep time
7/25/11 2:10PM
no such thing as least valuable, all of them taught me something and will reasist all of
them again.
7/25/11 1:20PM
Its quite difficult to say because i learned so much from each session. However, I didn'tgain as much from the first networking session as I did from the second networking
session.
7/25/11 11:57AM
I can't seem to think of one.
7/25/11 11:11AM
They were all useful sessions.
7/25/11 9:11AM
The short sessions which we had to speak to our mentors and team members about the
team challenge prior to finishing the preparation for it. They weren't long enough to
discuss anything substantial and we still had so much to learn. Even though we weretold not to start thinking about the exam question this happened inevitably. The 4hr
session proved the most effective and however and was all we needed. The shorter
meet your mentor sessions prior to actually starting the presentation could therefore
be very casual and about getting to know one another in an informal way.
7/24/11 10:49PM
I don't think that I could describe one session less valuable than any other.
7/24/11 7:02PM
Because of the well thought out agenda it would be very difficult to say there was a
session that was not useful.
7/24/11 11:37AMdifficult to say, many sessions were equally valuable
7/24/11 12:23AM
I found the CV session the least valuable which I think was due to time constraints
7/23/11 5:06PM
I found every session valuable as they all taught me different aspects of leadership
which i believe are all important.
7/22/11 6:40PM
I cannot think about a least valuable session of the summer school.
7/22/11 5:32PM
I couldn't identify one from others, all I can say is I avoided Time Management as itcovered what I already knew (learnt via Gordan Yates course)

There were not any.
7/22/11 3:43PM
Everything was relevant at some level.
7/22/11 3:41PM
Every aspect of the summer school was valuable
7/22/11 3:38PM
The panel Q & A, because there are too many students wanting to ask questions, with
too many different interests and too little time.
7/22/11 3:14PM
The speaker that had the most influence on me was Edwin. I felt that his determination
to succeed after not doing well in his a.s levels is something that resonated well with
me. This is because sometimes it is easy to just give up, but Edwin did not and he is now
a successdul leader.

Edwin BroniMensah: I was very entertained my his method of presentation and was
captivated throughout the entire talk. Learning about his failures made me see that
success is not all about winning abut at times about learning from your mistakes and
ensuring they don't reoccur again
8/3/11 10:54PM
Cedrik Fredrick speach because of its honesty and due to the fact that some of the
issues he spoke on I have experienced personally.
8/2/11 8:52PM
Cedric Frederick was possibly one of the most interesting men I have had the pleasure
to listen to. He was authentic and I believe it is safe to say, truly connected with all in
the room. It was like he was narrating my life! Many of the trials and issues he had been
dealing with seemed like a reflection of my own.
8/2/11 9:59AM
Edwin BroniMensah. Because, he has the similar course to me, so I can relate to him
easily, and showed although things are bad now, everything will be alright as long as
you do your best
8/1/11 9:27PM
Edwin BroniMensah. Simply because it was evident that his sense of significance did
not derive from his personal achievements or his superb academic accolades, all of
which are worth celebrating, however his motive was authentic and pure. His passion
was genuine and his sense of significance, although rooted in a simple idea, derived
from the fact that his company provides him with the precious and unique opportunity
to improve the quality of life for communities and families across the world.
8/1/11 12:44AM
Edwin BroniMensah because he was close in age to us and showed us that success is

possible.8/1/11 12:16AM

Cedric Frederick as I felt he touched on issues that other speakers hadn't talked about.
He has also become successful through hard work, without all the qualifications
necessary. Which I felt showed determination and that success can be achieved through
hard work.
7/27/11 1:09PM
Edwin BroniMensah; he showed that with determination, hard work and selfbelief
you can achieve in your academia. His GiveMeTap company is challenging the now
normal convention of bottled water while also making such a huge difference to the
world. Also, since Edwin is still young but yet he has achieved so much thus far, is
inspirational.
7/27/11 11:07AM
Cedric Fredrick and Edwin BroniMensah, I related with their speeches most.
7/26/11 7:28PM
Ken, his daughter also mentored my group so I think that it shows leadership
throughout his family.
7/26/11 4:21PM
Edwin, because he hd failed his alevels and didnt recive the offer from goldman sachs
as he wanted. However this did not break him, and he continued to pursue his
aspirations which led him to be a keynote speaker for us. hence having a considerable
effect of my proffessional career.
7/25/11 9:14PM
I found Judy very educational and Edwin very inspirational as he was 'one of us'
7/25/11 2:10PM
Ken Olisa, his Diagram, has given me a new way on how to arrange thigns in my life.
7/25/11 1:20PM
Samantha Tross and Edwin BroniMensah: They were very candid about their
experiences and it made it easier for me to relate to them. Secondly, they both carry out
charity projects in Africa and this is something I really want to do.
7/25/11 11:57AM
Samantha Tross, Cedric Fredric, and Funkazi. The first two dude to their bravery in
sharing very personal experiences with us which we undoubtedly learnt from. Funkazi
for her infectious enthusiasm and unquenchable passion
7/25/11 11:11AM
Mr Cedric Frederick, Mr Edwin BroniMensah, Mr Tangwena Nelson and Ms Samantha
Tross. As they all demonstrated that no matter what life throws your way you are
capable of overcoming anything. So essentially only you can stand in your own way.
7/25/11 9:11AM
Edwin not because he was any better than the other speakers, but perhaps because he
was younger and we could identify with him at a level which was closer to where we
are at the moment. He was also a social entrepreneur which, for me, is ultimately what
defines a leader and working in Africa is something I plan to do in later life.

Cedric Frederick; the exercise about thinking about a day in 2036 is an incredibly
powerful tool which I intend to use to keep me focused on my goal
7/24/11 7:02PM
Cedric Fredric, because he was extremely honest and came across as incredibly
genuine. He confronted issues that were at the back of my mind but definitely real
problems such as ego and chasing titles
7/24/11 11:37AM
1. Damon Buffini (LLB, MBA) he energised me, i think he made so many insightful
comments that I think i could relate to, it made his presentation stand out. (things like
think big, move fast, make mistakes, take opportunities, people will help you) all
extremely important advise for me at my stage. 2. Miss Tross (MBBS, FRCSed
(Tr&Orth)) she was inspirational and very clear. Also she has achieved what i want to
achieve so it was valuable to hear from someone who has 'made it'.
7/24/11 12:23AM
Samantha Tross, she was formidable.
7/23/11 10:56PM
Mr Cedric Frederick. I felt that his presentation was very relateable and I personally
found his words and even more importantly his actions whilst observing him, most
inspiring from all the speakers.
7/23/11 5:06PM
I found that Ken Olisa had the most influence on me because he message was finding a
balance and he gave important aspects of your that needs to be balanced which i think
will help me have an happy and successful life.
7/22/11 6:40PM
Cedric Frederic because he also discussed negative aspects fully rather than just fully
positive aspects of his journey to success.
7/22/11 5:32PM
Each speaker touched me in different ways. Each story was touching and eye opening,
though Cedric's honesty and calculated risk stood out to me.
7/22/11 4:45PM
Edwin Mensah had the most influence on me because he inspired me to not think its
the end of the world once you make a mistake, you just work harder. If he could do it, so
can I.
7/22/11 3:43PM
Edwin talked extensively on execution and work ethic Tangwena came from an
industry I was interested in
7/22/11 3:41PM
I cannot just choose one so these are my top three in no particular order: Edwin
because he is young and has been through a lot of the things that I have and is doing
something that I would love to do myself Cedrick Fredrick because he has taken so
many bold steps in his life and sought after his dream, also his passion for his family
Ken Olisa because he is an absolutely inspirational speaker. He is so successful yet so
down to earth and humble! I was able to take concrete lessons away from his speech
particularly concerning balance
7/22/11 3:38PMCedric Frederic, because i felt as if I learnt key life lessons from him.

The opportunity to network everyday.
8/4/11 9:26AM
Offer more variety next time with the optional morning sessions
8/3/11 10:54PM
The summer school was very useful for me and I am very glad I came. My worry is that
most of the people on the course have already achieved success in their lives and have a
lot of ambition. The course seems to be directed at the best young black people , with
the best grades. I feel like many of the friends I have grown up with who have bad
grades and no ambition could of gained so much from a course like this . So although I
do think it is a good thing to reward those who have worked hard and done well
deserve to be given the majority of the places on the course I would suggest that a few
places go to ' underachievers' .
8/2/11 8:52PM
Make it longer? Ha
8/2/11 9:59AM
Have longer period (Have 5 days instead of 3 days)
8/1/11 9:27PM
In terms of keynote speakers I think it would be a good idea to invite more young
leaders and entrprenuers like Edwin who are only a few years older than us. I feel like alot of people connected with Edwin because of his age and background but also because
they could see a part of themselves in him and were therefore inspired to make to turn
their dreams into a reality.
8/1/11 12:44AM
A longer summer school.
8/1/11 12:16AM
a longer duration of the programme
7/28/11 11:53PM
The meet the market session could have been slightly longer. An added networking
session with more industrial firms would have also been great.7/27/11 1:09PM
The summer school should be longer, preferably a full week.
7/27/11 11:07AM
Make the programme longer. I really enjoyed it but sometimes the sessions felt rushed.
7/26/11 7:28PM
More tasks and more challenges for students to make us students do more work
basically as there is a lot of knowledge amongst ourselves.
7/26/11 4:21PM
The food. I did really like the first day meal but the second day was rather unhealthy
with no options to chips and the last day did not have any warm meal7/25/11 2:10PM

I would suggest that the optional workshops such as the CV would be more helpful by
using smaller groups and going through our own CV's as opposed to sample copies.
7/23/11 5:06PM
One of the main it longer 5 days if possible. Also I think that as swell as the
presentations, there should be other team building activities, maybe ones that puts us
in situations to see what we have learned.
7/22/11 6:40PM
I honestly cannot think about room for improvement. The programme was perfect in
my opinion.
7/22/11 5:32PM
It was very difficult for us to leave, and perhaps social provisions for the final evening,
as we had difficulty fitting a large group into the pub!
7/22/11 4:45PM
Perhaps a chance for all the attendees to share a word or so about each of their
experiences at the summer school.
7/22/11 3:43PM
More emphasis on careers and how to "get in" and remain
7/22/11 3:41PM
Make the programme longer
7/22/11 3:38PM
More time for students to interact with each other.
7/22/11 3:14PM
I am currently a member of the Windsor Fellowship. However, I believe that the
Powerlist summer school is a better leadership programme even though Windsor
fellowship is for a longer duration. One reason in particular is because of the PowerlistSummer school emphasis on keynote speakers. Having these keynote speakers showed
people who had gone through struggles and are now very successful; this is not as
apparent a theme in the Windsor Fellowship.

I attended summer school with LSE, the LSE Choice. Which was also very informative
and educational. However, the summer school at LSE carried on after the week in the
summer, and resumed once term began and we had weekly Saturday sessions .
7/25/11 11:11AM
AIESEC general leadership events and conferences. The difference is level of quality
and intensity of the the simple yet comprehensive agenda, together with the extremely
high calibre speakers and networking events. The three elements are also found in
AIESEC events however not to the same extent and focused solely on the individual as
opposed to training for a function etc.
7/24/11 11:37AM
I have attended another leadership program with the royal academy of engineering.
The difference the was fact that the leadership program was aimed at gaining
leadership through completing challenging outdoor activities.
7/22/11 6:40PM
The ACS Summit, the powerlist differs as it was a multi day event and alot more
personalised towards me.
7/22/11 3:14PM
This was a really great course and I am so pleased that I was selected . It was so much
more than I expected and I genuinely feel as if I have developed as a person because of
it.8/2/11 8:52PM
It was a pleasure and an honour to have attended such an event. Thank you, Adelani
8/2/11 9:59AM
Have people from other countries, or parts of Uk (if possible)
8/1/11 9:27PM
Thank you for givng me the opportunity to be part of such an outstanding initiative!!
8/1/11 12:44AM
Fantastic opportunity!
8/1/11 12:16AM
I thoroughly enjoyed my time at the Summer School. Meeting likeminded students and
so many successful individuals, reminded me of what I need to focus on, in order to
develop myself into the future leader that I want to be. Thank you so much for the
opportunity and I hope you do a followup event for the summer school class of 2011.
Thank you again.
7/27/11 11:07AM
this might sound like a cliche' but i feel i have my future in my hands now and I have
been equipped with the guidelines on how i can steer it towards the right directions.
thanks a lot.

Very good leadership course, however made exceptional by the staff at both Deloitte
and the Powerful media/ Powerlist foundation. Was a great pleasure to attend
7/24/11 11:37AM
Thank you for a great programme, we all ejoyed a great deal.
7/24/11 12:23AM
Thank you.
7/23/11 10:56PM
I think the whole organization was very well done and it made the experience special
7/22/11 6:40PMThis was truly a lifechanging event in my life and one which is invaluable. I will never
forget this experience and my future success will be due to attending this event.
7/22/11 5:32PM
Thank you very much to EVERY member of Deloitte who helped out included those in
other buildings who helped direct me when lost!
7/22/11 4:45PM
In general it was a very successful programme. Friends for life were made there and the
level of networking was amazing. I am looking forward to returning to university with a
new and improved attitude.
7/22/11 3:43PMThe Deloitte staff were particularly helpful throughout, especially, Catherine Jones, Paul
Stephenson and Sanita Gulhane.
7/22/11 3:41PM
Other things I have leart as a result of the programme: It has made me realise that I can
do whatever I want to do and that I have the power to shape my future. It is just my
choice to decide what specifically I want to do. I need to decide what I want my impact
to be/ how I want to be remembered, then from there decide how to go about creating
this impact rather than just thinking of the next immediate step, think of the bigger
picture. Then I will go back on focusing on the here and now because that will help me
reach my goal/create my impact. I CAN make a change LEARNT ABOUT THEIMPORTANCE OF BALANCE I do not want to be average
