Attending the sessions makes me focus at least once a month [if I&#8217;m lucky enough to escape work to attend] and that focus is nudging me into taking actions that I might ordinarily push to one side &#8216;until later&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>The only negative side manifests itself in my frustration when my paid job is too demanding to allow that precious time for me to attend. Precious is what Progress School is to me at the present time. Now I need to find ways to ensure my escape in good time every 2nd Thurs of the month.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI\u2019ve always known personal development was important, but rarely actually made any time for it. Progress School changes that. It means that at least once a month I\u2019m forced to think about my own development, and better still it gives me the tools, support and motivation for doing so.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJoining a group which is focused on self development has focused me on what I need to do. Knowing that I will be \u201creporting in\u201d once a month has helped me to find the time to put in the effort to do something in readiness for the next session.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Thank you very much for inviting me to Hull Progress School which I thoroughly enjoyed.
