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 engaging, interesting and applicable to professionals/businesses. Really insightful and informative. Good practical take-outs to enable learning to be applied. A very useful tool for helping teams and individuals to identify ways to improve performance.”

“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.”

“I have learned and adopted techniques to utilise when leading a team. The opportunity to lead to tasks was invaluable and helped me to evaluate my own abilities and skills. Exceptional opportunity to step out of yourself and see what others see with guidance from peers and feedback where due which adds a reality check to how you may perceive yourself. A chance to push own boundaries and see what can be achieved. A useful opportunity to work with others, see different behaviours and understand them. The course has been excellent, was really looking forward to it and it didn’t disappoint. Excellent communication and knowledge from facilitator and very useful tips to take away. Would recommend.”

“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 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.”

“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 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.”

“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.

“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.”

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

“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.”

“I have found out how my behaviours lead me to respond in a particular way. I have also learned how others perceive my behaviours and have a toolkit which helps me to work better to support my team. Enjoyable, interesting and an opportunity to think outside of the box with a different perspective. Informative and challenging – it has been useful that there has been an open exchange of views which should help me to lead the team to improvement.”

"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.”
