What they say about us - client reviews of our work


"Our future is very dependent on the quality of our managers and leaders. Simon has been brilliant in bridging the gap between the fun of the outdoor activities and the real world of work, making sure delegates clearly understand and learn from the tasks. As a fast growing business, our Leader Development programme has, thanks to Simon, helped ensure we have the managers we need." PP

Well delivered and engaging, pace was perfect and Simon was fun and knowledgable

Really enjoyed the day - will definitely make a difference

The session compels you to question your current approach and look for ways to influence your performance

Will definitely be putting into practice all I've learnt. Si Rules!

The training was very successful and interactive. Simon helped develop the confidence of all individuals by using hands on activities to bring out the best in each participant.

Simon's confidence and passion for what he was teaching came across well.

Simon: Easy going, adaptable to quirky clients, intelligent, insightful viewpoints and very good company.

Thank you for the coaching sessions, I've found them very interesting and useful.

Very well delivered. Simon is very enthusiastic

Delivery was good, very interactive and people were always involved

Simon makes you feel at ease, his delivery is clear and to the point. He knows when to lift the group with humour,and he knows when the focus has to change. A very enjoyable course. 2 days well spent.

This was done really well and I thought Simon was great in the way he delivered the training and how at ease and open we all ended up being

I thought the whole process from start to finish was superb and will be a massive help to me going forward in my sales career. I also think that rolling this out across the company can only help us to grow and continue to raise the bar in sales.

I just wanted to email and congratulate you on the sales development workshop that you have produced...I can’t say I was looking forward to it as role playing to colleagues is not one of my favourite hobbies...I think you could feel the tension first thing Wednesday morning and I thought it was going to be the longest 2 days of my life but Simon broke the ice and by the afternoon session I think everyone was enjoying the experience and this was all down to Simon’s personality and helpful persona

The whole process I found really interesting and engaging, I have never had any sales training previously and the amount of help and confidence this has given me can only help me going forward in my career...From the experience I can only say how helpful and informative I found the experience. My only advice to anybody doing it in the future would be to go in with an open mind, be prepared to listen and get stuck in!!!!
