I really enjoyed the course today. I expected it to get a bit tedious or overload of information I would not understand, but Malcom presented it such a way that it kept my interest throughout the course and he made it comfortable for me to ask questions on the points I did not understand.

I enjoyed the course and felt that a lot of the material covered was educational and thought-provoking. Di was friendly and encouraging, and delivered the course in a way that was professional and easy to follow/understand. I’m grateful that Di & PTP were able to tailor the course into a 1-2-1 session and willing to run it just for myself when the need arose. Thank you very much!

This training was a 1:1 remote session over Zoom. I was initially apprehensive about this when the choice was put to me, but it was totally different to what I was expecting. It was simple to engage and concentrate and I actually found it easy to be able to air any concerns and training worries that I have experienced in the past. I have to say a huge, ‘thank you’ to Di McLanachan. She is extremely professional and she made me feel comfortable from the outset for this training. The atmosphere was relaxed and we managed to fit in so much learning – A truly great experience. I know that I have given ‘10’s throughout in the above grid but I believe that these are more than well deserved. There was content in this training material that I would not usually have even thought about taking into account..

Thoroughly enjoyed the session Di. The fact that it was a 1-on-1 was great, as it felt like we moved through topics efficiently, without being rushed and had enough time to explore key topics/questions. The course was as I expected and has solidified my practical understanding of HR. 

Di was knowledgeable and an effective communicator.

“Assertiveness” is something I find challenging in my job, but the course showed me that assertiveness and aggression are not the same thing, and gave me plenty of tips for improving my confidence, professionalism and assertiveness in my job.

Candy was perfect to deliver this course. She was friendly, enthusiastic and confident, made us all feel at ease and that we could ask questions openly.

She encouraged quieter members of the team to engage in a way that was comfortable for them and made it clear they could contribute as much or as little as they wanted.

I would always consider training in any area as you can never learn too much and if any other courses came up with Candy I’d happily participate. I took a lot of notes and am pleased to say I’ve taken some useful tips and techniques that I can put into action and develop with my job role and my personal life.

Thank you Candy

Thank you so much Andrea for the course that you delivered. It was engaging, interesting, interactive and informative. I left the day feeling so much more confident as a first time line manager and learnt so many techniques that I will use throughout my career now. Thank you! 

/ Fiona Murray, Jordans Ryvita / View course »

Thank you – it was a really informative session. There was a very good balance of listening and practical tasks which made it much easier to understand how I could apply the techniques to my own role.

I also appreciated that Malcolm made it clear from the outset that he wouldn’t be ‘picking on’ individual people or putting them on the spot – personally I find that when trainers do that, it feels a bit like being back at school and can make for a stressful experience! Malcolm’s approach certainly allowed me to engage with the content and participate in a more comfortable way.

/ Felix Mackay, DA Languages / View course »

Excellent one to one training delivered by Malcolm. Very informative and met course needs, engaging throughout and enjoyable.

I absolutely loved this course! It highly exceeded my expectations and has been the best course I have attended since working in MBDA. I really enjoyed the small cohort as it meant we could run through situations that were personal to each of us and practice what Candida was teaching us. Having practical solutions that can be implemented straight away has really given me a boost in my professional life.
