Surely one of the most gratifying things any of us can do is to give, and giving is great because everybody wins - someone gets to enjoy what you’ve given and, in return, you get to enjoy feelings of gratification.

Much of our work at radius involves giving - things like insight, knowledge and support. Gratifyingly, in return we get to witness some extraordinary and positive changes in the people attending our courses. There is no better example of this than our Personal Development Programme. It is a genuine source of immense satisfaction that after just six weeks we - and crucially, others - can see the tremendous growth in the ability and stature of our delegates.

To be a part of this transformation is thanks enough, but of course everyone likes to get a Thank You, as we did from Karen, when a card arrived at our office recently. Karen wrote: “The weeks passed by so very quickly and I’m both relieved to have survived the group presentation, but also missing the preparation! It was a pleasure to be on the programme with Sophie, Catherine, Richard, Emily and Sarah. I’ve learnt so much and know how important this will be as I move forward with my plan.”

We’re grateful for the comments (keep them coming). Our thanks to all of them for the opportunity to make a difference, and for reminding us just why it is that we do what we do. Oh and thanks for the bottles of adult refreshment too!
