​DISC Profile
​Training

It was by far the best training I’ve had at the university, the standard of which is already very good. I enjoyed the pace, felt you gave us adequate time to work in groups, and that you answered all our questions as we went along. I will definitely start putting what I’ve learned into practice."

Thank you so much for running such an energetic and engaging workshop. I thought it was wonderful and have talked non-stop about it to anyone who will listen!

"Really interesting insight into myself and those I work closely with. It was a good way to see how we all behave and interact with one another"

"A fantastically informative session. Scarily accurate in it's assessment of my strengths and weaknesses. Really helpful to understand the profiles of other people and how to manage difference preferences. Elaine was tremendously knowledgeable and could answer all our questions"
​
​"Thanks  Jo – it was absolutely fantastic and I can definitely only assume that you have had me under surveillance for 6 months!  Some of it made me laugh out loud how spot on it had me."

​Change Management Training

The Managing the Human Dynamics of Change workshop has really helped me think about the best ways to introduce and manage change with the different people in my team, allowing me to tailor my approach to their individual perspectives regarding the change." 
​
​"The feedback that I received from staff regarding the training was that he was engaging, fun and Adrian taught the staff a new way of thinking. He understands that staff are not a 'one size fits all' and adapts to the needs of the group. Thank you!"

"The work required to achieve change is not to be under-estimated, and this workshop shows that. Just the right depth and length of session to encapsulate the subject, with pointers of where to go next to learn more. Highly recommended"
​
​"Most qualified trainers these days can deliver ‘generic’ content very well, AJ – delivers ‘bespoke’ content at consistently high level of excellence,  this man has the absolute ability to capture, and then script, the very essence that bespoke training courses require, in order to first deliver the content in a style that captivates, and then secondly to inspire those candidates into taking real-life positive steps, post training course, which offer tangible benefits to both company and candidate."

​Emotional Intelligence Training

​"Matt was very engaging and presented the material in a way that made it very easy to comprehend and apply to real life situations"

​"As always, Matt delivered a brilliant course. It was made fun and interesting by Matt who always uses his sense of humour and creates a good   learning environment where 'there are no stupid questions'. I will definitely utilise the skills gained in my day to day role. Thanks Matt!"

​"Great training! Really easy to follow and right balance of interaction , slides and videos. Matt was really knowledgeable and tailored the slides to my job role ensuring I always had an understanding of what was discussed. Would highly recommend to my colleagues"

​"Professional, engaging, experienced and fun is what Matt brings in every training he delivers and/or designs. I have no hesitation to work with Matt and look forward to the opportunity of working with him again!”

"Claire was great. Good energy, pace and content. Made everything interesting. Very impressed!"
"Claire is an outstanding learning consultant with bags of energy , experience and enthusiasm! She is extremely creative and applies a can do approach to every project she works on. 

​5 Behaviours of a Cohesive Team 

​"This was a great session, it really helped understanding the behaviours of an effective team and recognising things we do well, things we don't do so well and things we don't do but want to do. I have taken a lot from the session and will be using things from it as we grow our team." Thanks Jennie"
"Jennie was brilliant, her simple explanation and examples of how to improve teams was really valuable."
"Excellent! Jennie gave a really succinct breakdown of the principles of the dynamics of a high performing team. I really enjoyed it"

"Jennie was superb.  Really engaging, and really effective use of zoom.  Something I've not seen before allowing us to make  and things as she went through the session.  Good use of breakout rooms, interesting topics of conversation relevant to the session.  I really liked the part about different personality types/roles within a team. "
"Jenny delivered all of the sessions for us with enthusiasm and credibility. ​Due to the content of some of the sessions there were some strong challenges during some of the sessions, Jennie dealt with all of these confidently and with solid examples. The feedback from all of the sessions was excellent."
