“Surpassed my thoughts of what this could entail. Excellent theory and combination of team participation. Really nice facilitation style! Very useful in home and work relationships. I have been able to notice traits and triggers that have clearly shown how I can improve my relationships with those around me. It helps me to know how other people react and what to be treated when they are in conflict. Very valuable insight into behavioural changes during conflict and what my motivations for self and others are.”

“Very engaging, interesting and applicable to professionals/businesses. Really insightful and informative. Good practical take-outs to enable learning to be applied. A very useful tool for helping teams and individuals to identify ways to improve performance.”

“It’s strange to think how time flies, but I have taken so much from the training you ran…It’s been great, as I have taken a far more positive and motivational approach than I have ever done, and the impact and results have been fantastic; the teams in-store have responded far more than I could have ever imagined. It sounds strange, after doing this role for so long in different companies, that the more ownership and positive feedback you give, the greater people respond.”

“I have taken so much from the experience and it has really had a massive impact on what I want to do in both my work and personal life, so a definite course that I will be recommending to my leadership colleagues.”

“Good balance between learning through teaching and experiencing. Non-challenging, open, honest and enjoyable. Very well presented to create an understanding and inclusion of all personality types and individual needs. I thought the day was very thought provoking and will help me as a manager to better understand how to communicate with my colleagues. The course is very good – the day seemed to fly by!”

“Excellent facilitator, enjoyed content and opportunity to interact with the group. Really positive day – enjoyed working with colleagues and finding out more about people’s personality types. Very, very interesting and engaging. Very relaxed and enjoyable day. I was surprised at how much I learned and how easy it was to understand.”

“I have learned and adopted techniques to utilise when leading a team. The opportunity to lead to tasks was invaluable and helped me to evaluate my own abilities and skills. Exceptional opportunity to step out of yourself and see what others see with guidance from peers and feedback where due which adds a reality check to how you may perceive yourself. A chance to push own boundaries and see what can be achieved. A useful opportunity to work with others, see different behaviours and understand them. The course has been excellent, was really looking forward to it and it didn’t disappoint. Excellent communication and knowledge from facilitator and very useful tips to take away. Would recommend.”

“Understood more about myself and how I react in situations. Also about why others may act the way they do and that I may accidentally provoke a situation when trying to help. The practical exercise was powerful in learning about what motivates individuals and how we respond to set tasks according to motivation levels. More alert to the risks/threats to our team’s performance when we go into conflict, and how to ameliorate those. An enlightening, thought-provoking, yet enjoyable day in which I gained a better insight of myself and others.”

“Excellent programme – lots of interaction, tools and techniques – very good. It made me self-reflect in a good way and has given me more self-confidence and strategies. Helped me to clearly see my performance gaps and what I can do to address them. These three sessions have been really insightful and have inspired me – thanks.”
