Clients and Testimonials
"I have attended various management development courses in the past but felt I learned more form the few hours you talked on "Assertiveness and Negotiation Skills" than I had from any previous course." Moira E Millar, FCCA
"By providing a combination of theoretical and practical examples, the course has given me confidence in a number of diverse areas. My own director has commented on my improved confidence in handling challenging work situations. I recommend the course to anyone who wants to improve their own performance and that of their team."
Kate Mason, Head of Information Services, Learning and Skills Council
(Attendee of People Management Matters course)
Thank you for an insightful and highly professional talk at the AUKML Conference, several delegates have told me how rewarding they found it and it provided an essential foil to the more subject specific talks.
Katherine Schopflin, Association of UK Media Librarians
"For all those of you who have done professional exams of one kind or another, do you remember the lessons on time management and delegation?
No funnily enough neither do I and yet these are two of the most crucial skills that you have to master when you get out there into the big world. And if you run a business then it is even worse.
In my busy practice, there were ten qualified people with varying skills in these areas and personalities ranging from control freak to perfectionist. We all had our way of managing time but none of us felt we were succeeding in that area.
And then along came Candy! Two days of work with us helped each of us identify where our problems lay and what we each had to do to free up time for more family life, more income earning work or simply to think.
If you can spare the time for this type of training, do so. Every single one of us got loads from it. And, if you can't spare the time, then you probably need the help more than we did!"
Malcolm Palmer, Managing Director and Strategic Planning Specialist, A4G Solutions
ICLG and ILIG and I would like to take this opportunity to express our thanks and gratitude for speaking at Umbrella 2005. Your talk (as always) was extremely interesting and the feedback we have received has been very positive. In fact, it was our most popular session.
Jill Tulip, Information Manager, IPC Media
"A very big THANK YOU for the training session yesterday. It was excellent. I could see the Learning Resource Centre staff were really getting a lot from the session, and we certainly have some good things to work towards. It has added to my to do list though! You really did pack a lot into the 2 hours and managed to cover everything I hoped we could."
Sarah Reed, Head of Learning and Resource Centre, South Downs College
"Thank you so much for all your hard work on the training. I feel the day was a great success. The day after the training, I received a few emails form staff and a card to thank me for organising the day, so you should give yourself a pat on the back too!"
Louisa Halford, Personnel Manager, Taunton's College
"Just to let you know that last night went very well. I enjoyed the whole night and my speech went down really well. So thanks for all your help in putting the speech together and improving presentation technique!"
Mark Evans, Managing Director, Tildesley and Tonks, Ltd
