50 Developing Potential Testimonials

“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.”

“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.”

“I would recommend others to experience this training, as it has been a very knowledgeable and educational and changing experience for me and I have enjoyed every minute. This has given me ideas, tools and platforms to put into practice to build a better workforce. Good learning environment, very interactive and taught at a good pace. Good skills not just for job but also for life. Excellent two days, best training course I have ever had. Dan has been a superb top bloke!”

“The TDI event was a great team building experience, we all learnt a lot about one another as well as ourselves. Those who started the event feeling skeptical left feeling that they had learnt something new. Dan’s style of learning provision was less teacher and more facilitating; no one felt obliged to comment and no one was judged by what they said or did. It was a very positive experience and we all left feeling upbeat about ourselves. Communicating with Dan has been very easy and straight forward from the beginning to the end. Dan was often always available when I needed information and was always able to provide me with all answers to my questions. I was grateful for Dan’s flexibility and understanding when arranging the date for the first event and also to our other needs. For me, my expectations were exceeded. Most people found the event very refreshing and came out feeling rejuvinated and empowered. I am also excited by the prospect of arranging a follow-up event to keep the momentum going and to providing the training to all members of staff. This will certainly impact on our efficiency as a business. It was very useful to see this applied over our whole workgroup and see the dynamics that govern our companies behaviour. NReally interesting course, highly recommend it for helping others to understand my own and my teams personality types. Great insight. A Good, relaxed session that was a great deal of fun”.

“It’s been a really useful day which we’ve all enjoyed. Great to see how and why we all behave differently. It’s been good to remember the importance of accepting people’s personality types and to modify my own behaviour accordingly to make them be heard and comfortable. On benefits to the work place: The fact that we sat/worked as a team having frank discussions on our own ‘personalities’. This should mean a more open minded approach by all; thus evolving the team/team dynamics.”

“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.”

"Excellent day of training, really well facilitated. Good style and helpful tool set for future work in teams. Good framework for analysing my responses to different situations and for understanding the responses of others. Concrete actions points to follow up on. Excellent (quality of Dan’s facilitation).”

“Enjoyable and interesting, a tool I can think about/use in and outside of work.” “Very interactive and easy to understand.” “Really positive, genuinely useful.” “Interesting, interactive and eye-opening!”

“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.”

“Excellent application of a good framework that will provide all participants with a toolkit for their personal/professional development. The next step is to live the theory and see what difference it makes – next bit is up to us individually/collectively. I feel every company should do this. I will surely recommend to many of my friends. I have found the course helpful to me, so I may understand how to change my behaviour and work on my relationships in the workplace and socially.”

“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.”

“A very interesting day brilliantly presented. I had no idea it would be so interesting. I learned a lot about me. Thank you.”

“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.”

“Leadership courses are often one size fits all. I have specific actions for myself and my career off the back of this. Different insight to the normal leadership courses done before. Good energy in facilitation. I remained fully engaged and found the content thought provoking. Really enjoy this! Not just another development course or death by PowerPoint – it is practical!”

“Interesting, relevant, useful. Very interesting and rather an eye opener. I feel this will be relevant in our workplaces and will be put to use in a variety of ways. I enjoyed the practical tasks and the way they kept the whole group involved. Good experience in terms of looking at my motivational value system and how I can be perceived by others. Learning outcomes on how to improve conflict management better. I am reviewing past situations and able to view them differently. Seeing where I may have gone wrong and how I should now approach similar situations to achieve my goal."
