Azkua has helped me unleash my talents and strengths at TomTom in ways I did not see before I joined the course. I am more clearly communicating with colleagues, more efficiently managing my workload/ overload (well, working on implementing anyway!), and more clearly identifying what I want in my career at TomTom. Yes, this is an ambitious list of new tools and aspirations!!
The close cohort of women and the biweekly commitment to improving ourselves at TomTom has been one of the best parts of my time at the company. My boss openly shares his observations with me – my increased confidence, openness, boldness, and hopefully soon he will add better work-life balance to that list.
I have taken group courses with previous companies – but here, the focus is on women, in a safe, small group, with personalized attention and ongoing accountability and feedback. I am not looking forward to the “formal” course ending, but I am looking forward to bringing the bond this group of women has built and the skills we honed with me to achieve more.
