Client Quotes (names are withheld for confidentiality purposes – client references available on request):
The program's that I have undertaken had a real life edge. Theory and practice are often different, but the programs were delivered in such a way that they had real benefit. I did not have to try and make sense of the theory in a work sense, that part was done in a seamless manner. The presenters had done their home work, understood our business and the issues we faced, both as individuals and as a team.
It was not until I faced the issues we learnt about that I truly recognised how good this course was. There is no way I could have, and continue to, achieve my potential without first attending the program. This has a knock impact because I am now teaching my colleagues and workmates what I learnt.
The program was insightful and the presenters were all really great people. They were real people that did not purport to be experts, even though they were. The softer skills and intangible parts of leadership are not easy to learn and harder to teach. I respect the presenters so much to be able to see through the bravado to the real person sitting behind the mask and then to draw them out, amazing.
I would not hesitate to recommend the program to anyone willing to commit some time to let Clare and her colleagues into their business to understand the personalities and understand their issues. The programs that I attended were not out of a text book and were tailored to us. The reason why they were so good was because of the thought and time invested into the people being taught and developed.
Our business would not be in the shape is today without a number of senior executives stepping up and taking their opportunities. They say timing is everything, but if you don't have the skills to make the most of the opportunity it may very well pass you by. I am fortunate to have been given the skills to make the most of anything that comes my way.
The utilisation of actors for role playing is very effective. The experience was confronting. I still get shivers when I see the actors walk into a session!!
