Testimonials
Hello Sally,
I hope you are doing well. Thank you very much for giving me your fantastic learning course recently, I found all the topics we covered incredibly valuable, and I feel I’ve learned so much over the three days! Please find my feedback form attached here.
I will certainly be flicking through the coursebook regularly in future and I look forward to trying out the techniques we have learned.
All the best,
Ed

“Just wanted to say again how much I enjoyed this course. Sometimes when you hear ‘3-day course’ you wonder how engaging it will be, but I genuinely found it to be one of the most engaging and fun training sessions I’ve ever attended. I will be applying as much of the learning as I can to my role moving forward – thank you for taking the time to teach us.”
Excel Introduction – December 2022
For my part I was delighted with the course – IT is not currently an area of strength of mine and consequently I can be unnerved by this field. You do have a wonderful ability to pass on your knowledge in a very friendly, unintimidating way using plain language and pacing at exactly the right rate. I was surprised that the day very quickly became a pleasure.

Time Management
I now feel better able to organise, plan and set out goals that I’d like to achieve both personally and in my work life. The most useful element for me was the four box grid. I found the course inspiring and valuable

The size of the groups on the course can be as small as 2 which gives you a really personal experience. Overall I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend

Feedback from Managing Stress training
Just wanted to take a moment to thank you once again for the Stress Management course you ran a while ago. Not only did I think it was a superb course at the time, I have recently been going back over my handouts and notes and it has been really helpful. I will ensure I recommend you and your courses to others.
New Line Manager at Woodland Trust
I thought everything was excellent but particularly enjoyed the parts on ‘Powerful Questioning’ and ‘Difficult Conversations’ and finding out my team role, and doing the situational leadership questionnaire and understanding when different types of leadership are needed in what situations. I also enjoyed the practical exercises with the other attendants, for example, giving each other feedback, or using the ‘four dimension questioning.
Lincolnshire HP – Word 365 Advanced
Was great to refresh on the areas I am familiar with but so useful to learn of extra capabilities and tools that I will definitely find useful.
Regarding any improvements – No suggestions. Thoroughly enjoyed the day, Sally, you are so comfortable and relaxed yet very professional and really like the way to teach, thank you – Jane (December 2020 – online training).

“I found EVERYTHING!!! most useful including the handout – regarding improvements NOTHING! It was fabulous thanks!” – Penny
Hi Sally,
Thank you for an excellent day today. I do mean it when I say that the course you provided today is perhaps the most engaging and interactive course I have ever been on.
I really did enjoy it all – it’s just a shame I didn’t have the opportunity of doing it 8 years ago when I first started as I really think it provides the less experienced with a greater understanding of the impact of their own actions and how a client may be feeling/perceive things and how to deal with this. Nevertheless, it was still brilliant at this stage but more for affirmation purposes!
I attach my feedback for for you 😊
Thank you again.
All the best,
Jade
