"I will spend more time on recruitment.
The tools you gave us are very complementary to what I was doing.”

"From now on, I will be more attentive to the weak signals from my doctoral candidates.”

"I have a lot of answers to my questions
and answers to the ones I haven’t asked myself until now.”

"It was very positive, I learned a lot! I
have another vision of situations, it helps to take some distance from them.”
