So useful

I have found these podcasts so interesting and thought provoking. Listening to Laura and her guests really inspires me to be the best I can.

Brilliant Professional Series

Laura has established a varied and through series covering all aspects of the role of the SBM/SBL. Full of fact and a good dash of humour. Grab a notebook and a cuppa and plug into fantastic free CPD from Laura and the interviewees.
