"This course is a masterclass in learning, which immerses participants in the art of unlocking creativity and innovation. The content captured the imaginations of my team and me in the first 5 minutes and left us wanting more when we finished. I can not recommend this course enough for teams that need some propulsion and intellectual nourishment at home or work." Head of Innovation & Special Projects, Toyota & Lexus
"Aidan's "Permanent Reinvention Mindset" course was massively helpful to the FREE NOW Leadership team. It gave us a chance to step back from the business and to take time to think more strategically. It also taught us how to approach both problems and opportunities from a different angle. I would highly recommend the course for both the quality of the content and delivery." Country Manager, FREENOW 05
