50 Developing Potential Testimonials

“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.”

"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.”

“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.”

“Excellent application of a good framework that will provide all participants with a toolkit for their personal/professional development. The next step is to live the theory and see what difference it makes – next bit is up to us individually/collectively. I feel every company should do this. I will surely recommend to many of my friends. I have found the course helpful to me, so I may understand how to change my behaviour and work on my relationships in the workplace and socially.”

“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.”

“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!”

“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.”

“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!”

“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.”

"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!!”

“Great fun, very educational and revealing. I learned a lot about my personal style and I’ve already seen improvements in my approach to things as I try to improve my blind spots. Good bonding through the event and a good chance to break down some barriers both between teams and individuals. It was a great format to discuss and offer feedback between us about what makes us tick. All told, a great development event for teams and individuals. Really enjoyable. Pleasantly surprised at how much was packed into such a short amount of time. Well done! Great Event!”

“The TDI event was a great team building experience, we all learnt a lot about one another as well as ourselves. Those who started the event feeling skeptical left feeling that they had learnt something new. Dan’s style of learning provision was less teacher and more facilitating; no one felt obliged to comment and no one was judged by what they said or did. It was a very positive experience and we all left feeling upbeat about ourselves. Communicating with Dan has been very easy and straight forward from the beginning to the end. Dan was often always available when I needed information and was always able to provide me with all answers to my questions. I was grateful for Dan’s flexibility and understanding when arranging the date for the first event and also to our other needs. For me, my expectations were exceeded. Most people found the event very refreshing and came out feeling rejuvinated and empowered. I am also excited by the prospect of arranging a follow-up event to keep the momentum going and to providing the training to all members of staff. This will certainly impact on our efficiency as a business. It was very useful to see this applied over our whole workgroup and see the dynamics that govern our companies behaviour. NReally interesting course, highly recommend it for helping others to understand my own and my teams personality types. Great insight. A Good, relaxed session that was a great deal of fun”.

“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!”
