Creator: Leqture

The headline numbers

Four figures for personal and professional development

4.30 out of 5

The average score for a personal and professional development session, over 12,334 ratings. That is 0.01 below the 4.31 we score across all subjects.

4.51 out of 5

The average score for the expert who gave it. The speaker score beats the session score here too, as it does in every subject we run.

86%

Rate it four or five out of five. The other 14% is the part worth reading, and it is in the spread below.

7,459

Wrote out an answer rather than only clicking a score. That is 55% of everyone who responded.

The spread

How the scores are distributed

An average hides the shape. This is the shape, for personal and professional development only.

5 out of 547.8% (5,892)

4 out of 537.9% (4,671)

3 out of 511.9% (1,466)

2 out of 52.0% (247)

1 out of 50.5% (58)

Session by session

Where the average comes from

Every personal and professional development session with at least 25 ratings behind it, best first. Below that number a single bad afternoon moves the average, so those sessions are counted in the figures above but not listed separately.

Method

Where these numbers come from, and what they do not say

The survey goes to every participant when the session ends, and answering it is voluntary and anonymous. A response counts towards personal and professional development when the session it rates carries that subject; a session that sits under two subjects counts under both, which is why the subject totals add up to more than the site total. The scores come from two places, sessions booked on their own and sessions given inside a company learning event, and each response is counted exactly once.

What this is not: a study of personal and professional development training in general. These are the people who sat in a Leqture session, at organisations that had already decided to book one, and we are not a neutral party. Read it as what our own participants reported, because that is what it is. The averages are unweighted, so a session with 900 responses counts 900 times and one with 30 counts 30 times. Everything here is recalculated each time the site is built.

The same figures for every other subject, and for all 283 sessions together, are on our data page.

No bot, no form maze

Want these numbers under your own programme?

Every session we run for you ends with the same survey, and you get the report afterwards: per session, per expert, per audience. Ask us how that works.
