“This was the most rewarding professional or personal learning experience that I have ever taken part in. I have learnt valuable lessons and skills along this journey but none more so than it is okay to have self confidence, self pride and an “I can do it” attitude. It is an experience that I would recommend to all Credit Union staff if they were to have the opportunity.”
Karen Hicks, Challenge Participant 2011
