  • “Fantastic! Learnt so much valuable information. Extremely enjoyable; team working was a very effective way to learn the content of this workshop. Helped me to gain a new understanding about others – personalities, relationships and how to respond. A very useful and rewarding session. Very interesting – a whole new way of looking at ways of communication.”

  • “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.”

  • “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.”

  • “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.”

  • “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.”

  • “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.”

  • “Thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Great to take time away from the office. Good to get the team together. Very interesting. It was very worthwhile to spend time as a team to learn more about ourselves and each other. Very enjoyable, learned a lot from the experience. I learned a lot about myself and also my colleagues.”

  • “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!”

  • "Thought-provoking and informative. Timely opportunity to get to know the team members better and in a structured and focused setting. Very informative and engaging. It has definitely helped to address many areas for improvement within cross departmental and as individuals. Today has been useful in understanding more about how each individual works and for getting some clear goals on how we will take our team forwards.”

  • “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.”

  • “Interesting! The final activity really showed how team working and proper goal setting can affect the team result of a project. The first activity showed how we, as a team, could potentially ‘get it wrong’. Understanding the skill sets of people will give me a greater breadth of resource when getting ideas and making informed decisions. Also feel more open to have honest discussions at work. We are starting to understand what engages team members and what does not. Change can be positive. I feel the team now knows how to improve and why improvement is required for us to begin the journey in becoming a high performance team. Excellently led, enjoyable, very professional and in a relaxed environment where you were made to feel at ease.”

  • “I was extremely happy with the outcomes and feedback from the Kuala Lumpur Development Centre and I am looking forward to the Tunisia programme. 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 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).”

  • “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.”

  • “It was enjoyable and interactive, much better than classroom based sessions. It was useful to reflect on the different ways in which people responded and reacted to the tasks. Very positive. Dan has a very warm and gentle style and exudes calm.”
