Inspired By The Elevate Bookshelf Challenge​

In June 2022, Elevate ran a Bookshelf Challenge on LinkedIn with a fabulous global response from our delegates. Many shared the books that have inspired them from many destinations around the globe, such as South Africa, USA, India, Australia, United Kingdom, Germany, Indonesia, Philippines, Malaysia, Bulgaria, Sweden, China and Brazil!

Training

Here's what some of our participants had to say about Elevate:

“I have learnt so many things and/or just get the awareness of attitudes and actions that I was doing without knowing about it…It is pragmatic, the format of 1h per month is very convenient and gives us time to think about the learnings and try to apply them.”

Delphine Baudouin, Manager, Product Panning - Volvo
"Something tangible that I can take away and apply immediately. Highly recommended for those who are serious about their career."

Jan Sinclair - IBM
"Your session has become the highlight of the month – I really enjoy every minute!"

Emma Lindoff - Volvo
"I must say I am loving the Elevate Webinars. Very practical. Very useful. Very applicable."

Joy Aboim – Cisco
"The online lessons are like a "stock cube", highly compressed, high-quality concentrate. If you work through the worksheets you get a full picture and understanding of the learning content."

Simone Weber - SKF
"This is by far the best leadership training I have taken! The content will follow me for the rest of my career."

Olivia Sesevic - Volvo
"I'm very impressed with this program - each webinar brings something new for me (both at work and in my private life). I write down a lot of your tips and I plan to use one of them on my first day in my new job - it is regarding the magic minute rule!"
