... and what they say about us
Boards, teams away days and workshops
We had a really vibrant and productive day with you, and I'd like to thank you.
Senior director
For the first time I can see how this might actually work.
Chief Executive
It's always a pleasure to work with people who are good at what they do, and really nice with it.
Senior director
I wanted to let you know that I have had a great amount of very positive feedback on the day.
Public sector director
May I take this opportunity to say a big personal thanks to you for organising and delivering this day for the team. I am very grateful for the huge amount of work you had clearly undertaken to make the day happen, for the very expert way you facilitated our work throughout the day and for helping us to build a platform we can continue to develop. I felt the day was a great success, the time went very quickly and I enjoyed it very much.
Senior police officer
This is just to say how useful we found the day. And this is not just hearsay, as everyone has told me they found it very inspiring.
Chief Executive
I also want to say a big thank you for your expert facilitation and the thoughtful skilled way you guided us into the right territory, stayed with us and walked us safely out again.
HR professional
Just a quick note to say thank you for such and excellent day yesterday, I was enormously heartened by the enthusiasm of everyone and the progress we have all made in such a short space of time.
Chief Executive
Thank you for not lecturing but engaging us, for enabling the discussions to flow a bit more easily and for making us be explicit on the actions we need to follow through on. It helped that you appreciate what it is like on both sides of the coin, we are after all collectively one entity just looking at things from different perspectives.
CEO Charity
I've been with the company for six years and that's the best days training we've ever had.
Senior manager plc
I must say that we had a excellent day and all the feedback was really good. I wish I could bottle the enthusiasm you've generated today.
Chief Executive
Just to say I really enjoyed and took great benefit from the workshop. It's an area I know I need to work hard on and I felt I had some really useful tools to help me develop some skills. Don't usually get this effect from a one day course so much appreciated.
Chief Executive
Thank you very much for chairing our conference and for giving us your feedback and comments on the day. Many people commented that they would have liked to have heard more from you, however time did not allow it on this occasion. We have received very positive feedback on the whole conference. Delegates found the key note speakers and the workshops valuable, interesting and thought provoking.
HR director
Margaret thank you for doing the workshop, the feedback, particularly on your workshop has been excellent with people liking your style saying how skilled you are, complaining it should have been longer and what an excellent facilitator you are and very skilled at integrating questions into your presentation.
HR professional
Thanks for last Monday's introduction to coaching. I turned up suitably cynical about why I was wasting my time at such a thing and went away feeling that I'd had a day well spent.
CEO Charity
Thank you for the brilliant facilitation at our away day. Much appreciated. I attach for information the action points which will go to our Trustees meeting.
CEO Charity
Coaching programme
As a result of your programme his approach to colleagues is much more considered and his efforts at listening to understand are really helping to improve relationships. Clearly whatever you are doing is effective because he's attempting to put into practice what he's learning on a daily basis and mostly it's working.
CEO Charity
My thanks to you and Sheridan for a fantastic course. The course seems to have flown by. It has been a superb experience and I have met some great people during the journey. Thank you for your patience and support.
The programme was very motivating and delivered in a way that was non-threatening and very supportive with sufficient challenge to retain interest and energy.
It has been an opportunity for personal development that I have really appreciated and I hope will prove to be an excellent investment for my organisation.
I really liked the individual characteristics of the tutors and the dynamic between them. I was very impressed with the depth of knowledge, experience and expertise. Thank you.
The group gelled very well and this was really helpful in the beginning. There was mutual support and respect. Margaret and Sheridan provided excellent expertise balanced with challenge and enjoyment.
The course has been thoroughly enjoyable and stimulating during a difficult time at the day job. It has made me re-excited and re-engaged and has helped me change as a manager and a leader.
Thanks very much for a great learning opportunity.
Excellent course - life changing!
A fantastic and perhaps transformational experience.
Coaching
The sessions are turning out to be very useful and practical in focus, helping me work through real issues. I suppose that's the point!
Senior director government department
Thanks so much for the session last week. I found it hugely helpful - you did something rather magical and brought things out of me I didn't know were there. I feel so much more confident and in control.
CEO Charity
You have the gift of making difficult things seem so uncomplicated and manageable and this has helped me move on a lot from when we first met.
Senior director government department
I realise my time with you has come to an end and I'm extremely grateful for all the help you've given me. It has transformed me professionally and personally!
Senior director government department
...and
In doing research for a paper, I just read your 2002 article "The Possibility Horizon" with interest. I believe you and Sheridan Maguire have succinctly captured the essence of effective change within organizations.
