50 Developing Potential Testimonials

“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 useful, everything I expected and more.”

“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.”

“Thoroughly enjoyable, time flew by. Not death by PowerPoint which was a bonus and liked the fact that it was more based around discussion and bullet point facts. It’s useful to recognise and understand your own personality traits – which would never normally happen without a session like this. It’s also very laid back and personable so easy to get involved and feel like the session is beneficial to all. Learnt something about myself – opposite to what I initially thought. Made me appreciate how to adapt my personality to enhance my working life."

“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.”

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

“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!”

“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!”

“I thought that the day was facilitated well and everyone participated. Good overview of key issues with plenty of time to discuss and time for personal reflection both before and after. I found the day interesting and informative. As a management team we don’t spend much time together so in addition to learning and being reminded of the Myers Briggs personality types and my own preferences, I found it useful spending time with my colleagues and getting to know them a bit better. I also believe the output will be useful so that when working together we’re more aware of how we can make our different approaches make the whole greater than the sum of the parts. Useful and productive team building. Met and exceeded expectations in terms of content and buy-in from the team.”

"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.”

“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.”
