My main objective was to learn about standard or common approaches to manage projects in the pharmaceutical sector, as well as the soft skills that are most relevant to be efficient in the Project manager role. This was accomplished mainly by reviewing the tools that can be used and some comparisons with other sectors. In a way it made me feel I was on the right path as a Project manager because I had already seen most things, and gave me confidence in this sense. I liked the structure, having first technical and then soft skills, as well as the number of exercises in the separate rooms, for all the attendees to get involved and stay engaged. I also asked for more detail in the pre-course questionnaire and that was addressed accordingly by the presenter after the course.

I was hoping to receive inputs about the project management world. I have received a lot of inputs and learnt which hot topics I should focus more; I think my expectations were met with this course.

I found this training very useful. I specifically liked the topics related to emotional intelligence and communication, understanding each other to improve collaboration and also the fact that it was not directed toward project management tools but very people-oriented and related to communication techniques and stakeholder management from a soft skills point of view..

Overall, I enjoyed the course and got a lot of worthwhile knowledge and ideas for improving the SOP system I work with currently. Laura was very knowledgeable and led the course well. She was accommodating for delegates of varying levels of experience. I enjoyed the mind mapping and flow chart exercises.
