Entitled 'Are you maximising your most important asset - your employees?

Presented by Helen Wakefield, Head of Windmills Learning and Development at the University of Liverpool, participants were given the tried and tested Windmills framework in three stages - Where am I now?, Where do I want to be?, and How will I get there?

This topic included a review of professional journey with successes and challenges highlighted. There were also other issues tackled in the session including analysis of skills, career motivators, networking skills and analysis of potential barriers and enablers among others.
