Some Kind Words...

I was delighted with the resulting course. The subject matter was extremely stimulating and Alec’s course leadership was exceptional

Stephen

Mercedes Benz Training Manager

I  wanted to let you know that the ILM Quality review went off with flying colours!  The external verifyer told us that he was extremely impressed with the standard of marking and the standard of IV-ing.  He particularly liked the feedback comments on the marking sheets and said the standard was the best he has ever seen! I would like to thank both of you for all the work you have done on this project – this is fantastic feedback for all!

Diane

Client Manager on behalf of DEFRA

Having discussed the training needs of our Dealer Principals with the Managing Director I was delighted at the resulting course with our trainer Alec Fitzsimons. The subject matter
was extremely stimulating and Alec’s course leadership was exceptional.

Stephen Bell

Mercedes-Benz Direct, Training Manager

I have just reviewed the feedback forms from the Negotiation course pilot you delivered for Grade 7’s in UKBA recently.  I must say they are amazing.  To have a Grade 7 write that it was the best course he has been on is fantastic!Well done

T.W. Brighton

Richard and Alex provided a first class Resilience through Change programme of courses for our senior managers and their response to our request for credible coaching and facilitation on a number of leadership and management topics is always excellent. Their approach has always been very flexible and professional and they have always listened to our needs and provided the right solution.

Barrie

Invensys Rail

I have found this a very good course. It has been a lot of fun which I did not expect. All in all a good course as I had quite a lot of expectations before I attended as this is not the sort of thing I normally attend.

PH

Fantastic, he is knowledgeable as well as having great patience (which he demonstrated) and a great demeanour.

Your delivery was fun and interesting, thanks. Relating to anecdotes helped a lot.

Thank you so much for a superb training event – things could not have gone better. We can build on what you have created so we can deliver the vision. Thankyou for doing a really professional job.

Just a quick note to let you know that I have had some very positive feedback from our senior management team on the facilitation by Alec.  They felt they got some very positive outcomes from the 2 days, and I would like to pass on their thanks.

Really knew what he was talking about, but allowed the group to contribute a lot too.

I feel like I have a better understanding all-round – and there were definitely a few moment of epiphany!

Best course I’ve been on in 17 years of working with Clintons.

MB

Clintons Retail

Although I must admit I was somewhat sceptical of the value of this type of legislation, it actually was surprisingly useful. Some of the statistics that Alec showed us were equally eyeopening  and it did give me cause to reconsider some of my views. Thank you once again

Peter

Really enjoyed the delivery of session, he ensured people understood and made space for questions.

I feel that the special training you deliver is second to none and I have gained a tremendous amount from it and feel that it should be ongoing. Meanwhile, I look forward to more training, if possible with yourself!.

Mary

Civil Service Benevolent Fund

Thank you very much for the presentation training. I feel I have gained a huge amount from the process,  which I believe, in the main, is down to the personal and professional style in which you delivered the training. So thank you very much. I am still on a high from the experience. (something I normally only get from sport).

Nigel Carr

Head of Operations, Cory Environmental

The Trainer has a clear understanding of all subjects and really gets you involved. Good course.

Very professional, lots of experience, and so seemed short of time

In terms of commerciality – I got more than I thought. As a team we are a lot more effective and collaboratively and that has been commented on by several Executive Directors.

The two days’ training this week, and your elements of the Diversity roadshows that have been delivered over the past few months to myself and  colleagues throughout the Company, have been the most enjoyable that I, and many of my colleagues, have attended.  You are to be congratulated for delivering such high quality, informative and enjoyable training. I hope that we are able to do business again in the future.
