What others think about the programme
I had already listened to the A Path Through the Jungle, audiobook and looked at several sections of the printed book, but there is something about doing the course too that really cements Chimp Management into a way of thinking. And I’ve realised several important breakthroughs this way that wouldn’t have happened from the book alone.
Overall, it is a very effective programme, well structured and organised and a very creditable and personable Mentor in Adam. It brings the model to life in a very practical and useful way. I am getting a lot out of it. I don’t want it to end!! The Chimp Management company is living up to its reputation through the delivery of this programme – highly professional and genuine people.
I have learnt that I need to be more proactive about what happens in my life rather than reactive. I am trying to ensure that I have daily personal development time, recording this in written form, enabling me to plan ahead and then reflect later. I feel, most of the time, (still some work to do on some of my gremlins) I am more in control of my chimp and find myself saying “stop”.
“Before undergoing this training, a considerable amount of my own precious time would be wasted reflecting on situations that I could not change. This would largely involve questioning my own judgements (in a disparaging way), along with my own performance and outcomes. Since discovering the Chimp model, I now know that it was my chimp hard at work.
