Rhys Davis from Armstrong Watson shares his story of how PDW helped him with his professional development goals, and gives some great tips on how you can start your own journey towards self-improvement!
Here’s what Armstrong Watson had to say about PDW
“Fantastic learning with assessors/trainers who really get into the characters you ask them to play. Learning about the different behavioural styles will not only be useful in the work place, but in general life too. I am finding myself constantly deciding what a person might be and adapting/flexing to accommodate them. As always a fantastic two days with so much learning, but the way in which the training is delivered, means I retain what I learn and can now practice. Thanks to the team once again for such a great experience. I can’t wait for the next one.”

I often hear myself say “Great opportunity to use your PDW skills” – or, in shorthand, just “PDW!” This has been the most effective training I have done in my career – and to call it training downplays it.
Particularly good feedback from the team on all the practise sessions as this really brings the theory to life – and a great team helping to do that.
Good structure, very well facilitated and the combination of project and personal skills training meant that it was easy to see how the personal skills could be practically applied.
