It has helped me understand my own strengths and the needs of others when things are not going well.”

Very good, paced well and delivered in a thoughtful yet punchy manner – well suited to our group.”

Group work with people from different social style and personalities made the exercises a good platform to access personal development areas; I’m very confident that this programme will be very helpful for me and my job; Very critical for me as a Sales Person where it highlights my weaknesses and areas I need to improve on.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Fun and surprising seeing individuals change more than expected. Very beneficial in seeing my strengths and weaknesses and how I see other people in different formats (out of their comfort zone). I found the team building exercises valuable as they gave me more confidence to lead within my team.” “Fun, interesting and very worth while.”

“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.”

“Really useful regarding understanding how to make other team members roles be more rewarding within the confines of the work to be done. Also a reflective tool on past conflict and spotting future emerging conflict too. Understanding what motivates people to behave in a particular way is the key to improving performance. I have learnt a whole new approach to thinking about relationships and conflict, focusing on better understanding motivations.”

"ORR wanted something a little different. After the delivery and feedback of the Type Dynamics Indicator, we explored personal meanings and interpretations of personality type through creative artwork.They are all going on the office wall! The day was a complete success. The whole team enjoyed ourselves and I think it was the right balance between taking in information and looking at the different types and then using our own interpretation in a creative way. Feedback from the team was that this had been the best away day so far and we achieved our ultimate goal of creating a different and interesting day for the team. Great thanks to Dan for helping us to achieve this.I think it was very beneficial in terms of team building as well as working on insights into one’s own personality type. Excellent day, thanks! Right pace and very interesting.”

“Insightful, eye-opening, educational, well delivered. Thorough, intense, eye-opening and thought-provoking. Most inspirational and eye opening thing I have ever done. I would highly recommend if you want to learn about yourself and others. Do it! I have completed the days feeling energised and motivated and focused. I have taken on a lot of information to reflect on but I am very much looking forward to applying this to both personal and group projects. The time spent bonding with our group has been invaluable.”

“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.”

“3rd time going through this process – best ever! Useful and interesting – a starting point/framework for taking forward relationships at work. A great way to understand a bit more about yourself and your colleagues, and how you can work together more effectively.”

“A really useful tool that will help me in my own L&D programmes .Extremely useful and provides an insight on how other people react in a conflict situation. I enjoyed the day and have learnt about the best way to identify when I am in conflict with myself and others and what I need to do when this happens.”

“From not actually wanting to come on the first course to actually actively wanting to attend the last part! I now possess a tool kit to improve myself, my team and my department performance. I feel much more aware of how I naturally operate as a manager and how people perceive me as a result. Now I have identified areas to improve and techniques to help. The course was intensive, hard work and challenging but great fun and different to any other course I have been on. I have really enjoyed this course!”

“Very positive – thought provoking, but not just an academic exercise; resonated very strongly with immediate challenges faced. Thought provoking, enjoyable, informative and gave me the opportunity to think about my approach and how I can consider my level of impact. Brilliant – great way to absorb lots of new tools and techniques and explore.”
