Testimonials for The IBC Advanced Business Management Course
The IBC Advanced Business Course has been invaluable in strengthening my effectiveness in a senior management role within Chambers. The course provided practical, strategic insight that I have been able to apply in my new role, particularly in leadership, decision-making, and organisational performance.
Don Turner is not only an outstanding trainer, but he has also mapped out this course with real thought and precision for those at the senior level who need some extra training and guidance. It was a real help to me at that time of my career.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Don Turner and the IBC Advanced Business Course to anyone looking to elevate their leadership capability and looking at making a meaningful impact at a senior level
I completed both the Introduction to Business Management and the Advanced Business Management courses with the IBC, and they were extremely valuable to my professional development. The Introduction course provided a strong foundation in the legal and professional environment, effective communication and negotiation, and an understanding of the work of chambers and business development. The Advanced course built on this knowledge with a chambers-specific focus on strategic management, client collaboration, marketing, business planning, and leadership. It also addressed the practical realities of managing people, finances, and change within chambers. Both courses were well structured, highly relevant, and delivered with a clear understanding of the profession. The skills and insight gained have strengthened my confidence and strategic approach, and I would highly recommend these courses to anyone looking to develop or progress within chambers management.
The course really helped me understand the role of a clerk on a much deeper level. Speaking with clerks from different chambers and practice areas was incredibly useful, as it showed me different ways of working and highlighted that there isn’t just one “right” approach.
Before the course, my experience of clerking was mainly shaped by my own chambers and the people around me. The course gave me the chance to connect with others who had different experiences and skill sets, really highlighting how valuable having a wider professional network can be.
One of the parts I found most useful was learning about the DiSC model. Working in a service industry, this has helped me build better relationships with colleagues, counsel, and clients, which has definitely supported my development and progression as a clerk.
The course also made me more open to change and new opportunities.
The IBC Introduction and Advanced Business Courses have been invaluable in my professional development. The training provided practical tools and insights that I could immediately apply in my role as Assistant Practice Manager. It helped me build confidence in managing complex tasks and improved my understanding of best practices within chambers.
Don & Nicky are both always on hand to provide support and respond to any queries very quickly and helpfully. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to strengthen their skills and knowledge in practice management.
