Brilliant mini-course

Dealing with rejection is such an important skill when applying to law and it was extremely helpful to listen to how other lawyers have coped with this.

I really enjoyed the growth mindset course. I hadn't given much thought to resilience in the workplace at all and this course really changed the way I looked at getting feedback from my manager. I often take negative feedback personally but now can see its a growth lesson and to take all feedback on board with a more positive mindset to allow me to grow into the role as a Paralegal. Love how the courses are bite sized chunks and well delivered.
