Happy Reviews

Some great exercises that provoked thought about my working practices. Stephen was a great trainer, very knowledgeable and some great stories!

The whole course has been excellent. The content is at a high level, well-researched and pitched at our starting points as managers. The segue from one activity to another is well-managed and ensures that our interest is maintained and that we can retain the knowledge about leadership through engaging activities. The presenter has a deep knowledge and understanding about leadership and what approaches are the most effective in bringing out the best in people. I like the fact that the focus is on a happy, productive team and is not based on financial profit. I began the programme feeling at a low ebb but the sessions have helped me to believe in myself and others, and have also helped me to feel highly motivated in my role. I definitely feel more "happy" as a result of doing this programme. The materials used, including videos, powerpoints, handouts and pre-course information are all of a high quality. I also like the fact that it is a full day each time, with the same one presenter and that there are four sessions, all local to the College.

Great course again with useful information

Useful, made me think!

Very good session and very thought provoking

Paul was an excellent facilitator with an ability to create fantastic and insightful conversations.

Great food, lovely staff around. Paul was brilliant in role modelling coaching to us. Feel that everyone in my organisation should go on the course, line manager or not.

Course was great. Had a good level of practical and theory. Great to have the space to hear others opinion and experiences and compare it to my own. That sense of familiarity and not alone with my issues.

Paul was an excellent facilitator for this training. There was a good balance of theory and real life applications for the training. Having an opportunity to role play certain aspects like being a coach, helped me understand the importance of asking questions to get someone to solve their own problem. It caused me to look inwardly at my own way of managing and accept the weaker parts of myself. Now I can work on those in both my personal and professional life. The 3pm ice cream was a beautiful unexpected treat as well.

Best course I’ve ever attended Paul made us feel so at ease. Great facilitator and I’ve learnt so much
