LYNNE JOHNSON:
This week, it's all about you. It's time to put into use your leadership journal from Week 3 to plan your leadership development, get networking, having ascertained who the right people to network with are, decide whether you need further training or retraining, and decide how to progress your career. Is it time for new responsibilities, a promotion, perhaps even a change of job? It's certainly time to review your personal aims from Week 1 and use all your learning from this course over the last few weeks to set you on the right course for the next stage in your career and enhance your leadership experiences.
