About this event
Most Summer School alumni say the same thing: they didn't realise how much would change until after the week was over.
In this webinar, Mike Broad (General Manager, Furniture Village) and Ewan MacDonald-Russell (Deputy Head, Scottish Retail Consortium) join BRC Head of Learning Vicki Young for an unscripted conversation about what the programme actually delivered — where they were when they attended, what surprised them, and what's shifted in their career, confidence, and leadership since.
No slides. Just the honest account you'd want before deciding whether Summer School is right for you — or the people you develop.
This webinar is for you if:
- You're an HR or L&D professional considering Summer School for your senior talent
- You're a retail leader wondering whether the programme is worth the time and investment
- You want to hear from people who've done it — not a brochure
What you'll take away:
- A clear, unfiltered picture of what Summer School is actually like from the inside
- Real examples of what changed for alumni — in their roles, their confidence, and how they lead
- Answers to the questions worth asking before you commit
- Everything you need to take the next step — or make the case to others
