“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.”
“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, 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.”
“This was an interesting, fun and informative day. That you very much. Presenter was really open and had a good communicative style. Useful new ways to look at situations and relationships.”
“Surpassed my thoughts of what this could entail. Excellent theory and combination of team participation. Really nice facilitation style! Very useful in home and work relationships. I have been able to notice traits and triggers that have clearly shown how I can improve my relationships with those around me. It helps me to know how other people react and what to be treated when they are in conflict. Very valuable insight into behavioural changes during conflict and what my motivations for self and others are.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
"I understand my team better and now have a real idea of weaknesses and how we can overcome them. I will take many parts of the event back to work. Being new to the company gave me a real insight into my team. Interesting day where I learned more about my team members and their preferences – a great experience that is really eye opening!!”
“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.”
"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.”
“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.”
“A very worthwhile few days, learnt a lot about myself and my peers but in particular my boss! Very beneficial and worthwhile. A must for all managers. MBTI was very informative and useful and can be used in my everyday life in both work and personal situations. By understanding my own strengths and weaknesses, I can now improve my communication style. Great course and I think every organisation should do it for teams. Jock was a very down to earth facilitator – great! Great interactive first day. Loved the walk on the second day! Jock was a very down to earth facilitator – great! Great interactive first day. Loved the walk on the second day!”
“3rd time going through this process – best ever! Useful and interesting – a starting point/framework for taking forward relationships at work. A great way to understand a bit more about yourself and your colleagues, and how you can work together more effectively.”
“I have taken so much from the experience and it has really had a massive impact on what I want to do in both my work and personal life, so a definite course that I will be recommending to my leadership colleagues.”
