Evidence

 

A little bit more detail on the impact of our work.

 

We love to hear participants say ‘Brilliant course, trainer was really knowledgeable!’ and we welcome all those 5 star ratings but in reality they don’t mean a great deal.

What’s far more important to us & what we really want to hear is how our participants have applied the learning on a regular basis, what changes they have made & how it is impacting their team and the wider organisation.

In other words, we want evidence that it is being used & making a difference!

 

Changing your approach

“Remembering what we explored, I have now adopted a much more direct approach with one of my team providing much clearer instructions rather than just letting him get on with it.  He has responded extremely well, asking great questions and improving the quality of his work.”
International Food Link – Essential Management

Increasing the level of communication

“Since the training, I have worked closely with a team member who was feeling undervalued – ‘just a number’ and ‘not human’. It’s so simple but by sitting down with them, giving more feedback and increasing the level of personal communication, they explained how they now felt more motivated, more welcome and have a real sense of drive to come to work.”

Changing your language

“What I have introduced in my 121 meetings is the change of language when giving feedback.  Rather than “that’s great” and “that could be better”, I have changed my language to reflect.. “what do we need to continue “and “what do we need to change”.  I have noticed a really positive change with my team, even when I’ve had to have a difficult conversation with any of them.”

Use a trusted sounding board

“Our regular sessions with Bill are a highly valuable forum for senior leadership discussion. He brings deep expertise in team dynamics and people management, but more importantly, acts as a trusted sounding board for complex business issues. The space he creates allows for open, focused dialogue—helping us clarify challenges, test ideas, and strengthen our leadership approach. I would highly recommend his one-to-one and senior leadership coaching to anyone looking for thoughtful, practical support.”

Letting others develop

“Having worked on our roles and responsibilities, I fully recognise the need to stop making myself so busy by “helping” and doing things “for people”. I will now take a step back and allow people to grow & develop themselves, which will also free up some of my own increasingly scarce time.”

No longer avoiding conflict

“I now fully recognise that not dealing with conflict was a big problem.  Using the techniques we discussed, I finally spoke to a team member who had been distracting other team members and this has already made a big difference to whole shift’s efficiency.” Carnegie Club – Management Development Programme

Cultivating a positive, productive workplace

“Working with Bill has been a transformative experience. As someone with dyslexia, I often face challenges in processing large amounts of information or traditional training formats. However, Bill’s approach was incredibly adaptive and supportive, ensuring that my learning style was not a barrier but an asset.

What stood out most was Bill’s patience and genuine commitment to understanding how I learn best. He took the time to explain concepts in ways that resonated with me and offered follow-ups to ensure I felt confident implementing the strategies. His empathy and flexibility made the entire learning process not only effective but also enjoyable.

Thanks to Bill’s guidance, I’ve successfully navigated challenging team dynamics, supported the growth of my high-performing staff, and cultivated a positive, productive workplace. His training has been instrumental in my professional development, and I cannot recommend him highly enough.”

Knowing who you work with

“Knowing my team well and understanding how simple acknowledgment of their interests and talents has really encouraged them to go above and beyond. I have shown more care and consideration which has motivated them to do well, gained them recognition from the wider business and had encouraged them to want to progress, develop and do well in future.”
