“Our cohort is a real strength — the bonds we've made, how we can develop ideas, feeling safe in that space to discuss issues that are relevant to us all and have a mutual, shared purpose.”

“For me it was about challenging our thinking — exercises that challenged the way that we think, to challenge our expectations of the future, to be innovative, accept that our perceptions will be challenged, and that unexpected things will happen that we need to react to.”
