2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

I have learned a lot more about confidence and being confident in myself when selling products, I have learned a lot about the systems and how they work so I can carry my day to day duties out without assistance.

I really enjoy my programme, my coach is so supportive and I like to learn new things. The programme has pushed me to do things I wouldnt normally, like passing my forklift test.
