“The week flew by, and we were indeed fast-tracked, but in a very subtle and organic way - by nature of the course design, great teachings and practical applications.  The guest experts and pitch panel we had were amazing, with their contributions to the programme and support of us growing ourselves and our businesses felt deeply.  We were encouraged to apply our learning each day, and make the most of the quality support offered.  “
