50 Developing Potential Testimonials

"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).”

“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.”

“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.”

"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!!”

“It was a really interesting and productive day, it has provoked lots of questions and given lots directions for developing the team. I want to thank you for an excellent facilitation of the day, and delivering exactly what I hoped for when I was proposing that this was the kind of day that we needed. First experience of MBTI and it has been really constructive personally and for the team. The communication sections of the workshop were excellent, highlighting both the differences in how people interpret the same information, and the different approaches to communication taken by different personality types.”

“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.”

“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!”

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.”

“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.

This was well worth the time and I would advise others to invest – it will make your job a lot easier!”
