Without a doubt it was one of the best training days I have ever attended
The quality of presentation (including slides and work materials) and depth of knowledge from both presenters was impressive and kept me engaged throughout the whole day
The aim was to understand the ethos of good practice, not how to follow the (employer’s) policies. As a newly appointed manager I find [this] especially refreshing. Thank you.
Judith was a joy. I loved the case studies and her examples and finally getting to understand the company’s protocols! The content was excellent and linked into all our existing motivational programmes. Great interaction, practical exercises and case studies.
Judith delivered an exceptional training session on how culture underpins effective business performance. The session, which received fantastic feedback, was both informative and relevant, being firmly rooted in the reality of working life and underpinned by Judith’s extensive experience in business and legal markets. Judith, who has an assured and engaging style of delivery, had her audience gripped throughout.
