50 Developing Potential Testimonials

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Great mix of physical and mental challenges that help you to see how your group works, what your role can be and where to resolve conflicts within this. A good experience, I think people who thought the day wouldn’t be useful gained as much as everyone else. You could see change happening with your eyes. Good that each of the mangers were tasked with a different group. Gave me an opportunity to get to know lots of different members of the team, newer and more stayed.”

“It was a very different experience to what I expected! It was a good way to approach ice-breaking situations away from the normal team building events. Enlightening with enjoyable group activities that help me to get to know the other people in my group better both personally and professionally. It has made me be more aware of the different approaches to a given task and how we can integrate different personalities to form the strongest possible team. It would have taken me much longer than it has to develop this many relationships, and to the degree which I have developed them to. Very challenging and enjoyable. Brought me forwards in leadership and speaking out.”

“Very good with good team building too. Great experience with good learning. Very useful. Interesting personally and professionally. Would like to go a bit deeper implications on career and need for change.”

“Above my expectations. Great day, very well facilitated. Enlightening, morale boosting, fun. 10/10. Excellent – had a great day. Full of fun and great learning. Great! This really helped to push the team journey forward. Nice to do something differently.”

“It was a really interesting and productive day, it has provoked lots of questions and given lots directions for developing the team. I want to thank you for an excellent facilitation of the day, and delivering exactly what I hoped for when I was proposing that this was the kind of day that we needed. First experience of MBTI and it has been really constructive personally and for the team. The communication sections of the workshop were excellent, highlighting both the differences in how people interpret the same information, and the different approaches to communication taken by different personality types.”

“Great experiential experience. Learning skills that will support our cultural journey. I clearly now understand the principles of coaching, the difference between giving advice, mentoring, and coaching and have learned new tools to use not just in the work environment but for personal growth and understanding as well. This was well worth the time and I would advise others to invest – it will make your job a lot easier!”

“Very useful and interesting. Really relevant for everyone. Consolidated other tools (Belbin, Myers Briggs etc) .Have come across personality profiling before but this was a clear and graphic system. Now I feel I can recognise other members of the team traits and personalities it makes it easier to be proactive. It has helped me understand my own strengths and the needs of others when things are not going well.”

“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.”

“An excellent and engaging experience. I especially enjoyed the interactive style using the visuals, models, and verbal discussion methods. Excellent – very helpful in planning for the future. I have learnt insights into my own style and preferences and how to understand others preferences in a non-judgemental way. I love this concept and the way it can help in understanding change/conflict.”

“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.”

“Excellent, engaging and fun, the coaching skills programme has provided us with the tools and training necessary to be a coaching organisation. The training activities are tailor-made to suit the specific business needs and were challenging and thought provoking. I would recommend others to take this training as it offers an in-depth look into coaching in difficult situations, coaching styles, boundaries and ethics. Very useful, everything I expected and more.”

“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!”
