Practical course confidently delivered by Ian with a wealth of anecdotal examples and ideas. Successfully demonstrating that Project Management is not a one-size fits all template but very much relies on adapting the core principles to suit your specific business environment.

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.

I found the course very useful overall.

Malcolm was very professional and tailored the course to meet our needs. He also allowed us to interact which also made us think more about the materials covered during the course. The information was clear and easy to read and flowed well with the examples provided.

I definitely feel I have gained a better understanding of financial statements and will utilise this in my job role going forward

This course gave an excellent introduction to management skills.  As a first time manager, it provided both the intellectual background and practical solutions which can be used.

Ursula is an excellent trainer and did an excellent job in communicating the content at exactly the right level.  I will be feeding back to our HR person (who identified the course for me) how good it was.

I have a whole list of practical actions that I will be implementing from the day and can only say thank you to Ursula once again!

/ Kevin Payne, T. Bailey Asset Management Ltd / View course »

As someone with no Line Management experience but looking to develop into the area I found this session very informative. It gave me some useful methods and ways of thinking to be able to effectively manage different personalities. I believe my default management style will be a very inclusive style but acknowledging that may not always be appropriate and I may need to move to a more ‘push’ style of management if necessary to reach a team goal.I would recommend this session to others!
