Testimonials
______
I found the training I received from The Icehouse to be the most influential, informative and practical in the way that it has developed me as a leader, business owner and governance professional. They have a huge range of resources and a highly experienced team to draw on and the delivery of the content uses real life examples which you can apply to your own business.
One of the biggest things I gained from The Icehouse courses was confidence - after spending time and talking to my Icehouse peers I realised that business owners don’t have to be isolated and I’m not on my own on this journey. I have a network of other owners that I can draw on if I need to and that nothing is insurmountable if you know where to look for help.

For me, doing The Icehouse Owner Manager Programme (OMP) was a big decision, primarily around the two factors of both funding it and the time away. We have always been a high growth business, so surplus time and cash are not really a thing. However, to date, doing OMP is possibly one of the best decisions I have made in the business. The learnings are invaluable, not because of the content - but due to how it is delivered and the people that are sitting next to you - it gives you time every month to immerse yourself with people that are on the same journey with the same problems, all with a different lens that you can learn from. The outcome from completing the OMP for me has been losing the haste and re-activeness by working on the foundations of the business. I am a big fan!
