Testimonials

Before the event Penny spent a great deal of effort in getting to know team members, understanding exactly what they wanted to achieve from the event, and discussing how we might implement the outputs of the day.  This, and her objective professional approach, played a major part in the fact that the event was a great success and the whole team is now working effectively together to achieve the objectives agreed.

Senior Manager, Financial Institution

A very commercially minded and pragmatic individual whose business experience makes her a very good coach. Catherine has good listening skills, which allows her to truly understand you and your situation (I think she is also very adaptable which would make her a great coach in many different situations and environments). She is also a creative problem solver which is beneficial in helping an individual to get to where they believe they need to be.

Head of HR, Drinks Industry

Penny’s sensitive yet penetrating approach enables her quickly to come to terms with the culture of the organisation and gain the commitment of those who are taking part in the programme. This ensures it achieves realistic and productive outcomes.

Chair, NHS Foundation Trust

I just wanted to thank you for your time last Wednesday. I know we got a little off the intended subject but I found the discussion invaluable, you have the enviable skill of crafting all feedback in an honest but overwhelmingly positive fashion.

Project Manager, BAA

I wanted to again say a big thank you for the terrific work you have completed on this report – it has really exceeded my expectations.  The quality of analysis, insights and links to relevant research is outstanding.  The format and flow of the report works really well and the strategic themes are very informative.  I have really appreciated how we have worked together on this – your pace (quick turnaround), listening and responsiveness have been brilliant.
