Sarah has just completed her Blue Skies Leadership Level 2 programme. Before Teamwork Level 1, Sarah described herself as ‘feeling down’ all the time. She was keen to start Blue Skies and soon started to feel better about herself. Reflecting back now after completing Level 2 she said: I am high on life. I now have the ability to work with others, I didn’t use to like doing this.

Sarah’s favourite moment of the Level 2 programme was completing a teamwork activity at RAF Cranwell with her group. As part of the exercise the students worked well together to complete a survival exercise in the water, she said: I had lot to do and they keep us busy.
