“Sally worked with me and my colleagues to help us resolve current issues in our workplace, to motivate us as a leadership team, and to find solutions and ways forward. Sally has an incredible capacity to find innovative perspectives and resolutions in complex situations, and she has really made us feel like a team. The learning set that Sally facilitated has been one of the most useful trainings that I have attended, and I would recommend it to anyone who works in a high pressure environment, or anyone in need of team building and conflict resolution. I believe that Sally’s skills are very broad and that she can help you and your organisation tackle challenging situations, and give you the tools to move forward on your own.”
“The Appreciative Inquiry session worked really well and everybody seemed to get a lot out of it – at the end of the residential people said they would have liked to have spent even more time on it and continued into the planning phases in more depth. There was a great deal of appetite and enthusiasm for the Appreciative Inquiry and thanks for a brilliant session.”
“Sally’s work with the charity I was leading was both inspiring and creative. Her energy, commitment and passion for making a difference shone through. She takes time to really know the organisation and uses Appreciative Inquiry skilfully and thoughtfully to engage people and overcome barriers to development. I have also enjoyed working alongside Sally as a co-facilitator.”
“Sally was energising and inspiring. I really valued her open and down to earth approach. As a result of the training I am keen to find an opportunity to get on and facilitate a set. ”
“I enjoyed this module greatly and particularly the section on power. Sally has a way of captivating your interest . It made me reflect on my work but also to recognise good and not so good leadership and where power is misused. My horizons have been broadened and I have a new perspective on politics and power.”
“I didn’t know what to expect from being in a learning set. I have really benefited from being with a likeable and challenging group of managers. Being able to talk through issues with a group of wise peers is really helpful. Sally’s experience and warm enthusiastic approach was much appreciated.”
“Sally is a really enthusiastic person to work with and her style of leadership is warm and approachable. Sally has the ease of getting the best out of people without them realising how she has been guiding and encouraging them.”
“I was very anxious at the beginning of the programme as to whether I had got the qualities and skills to be a leader – I have now realised that I have. We’ve learnt a lot about the challenges each other faces . It was one of the best courses I have been on.”
“Being able to align academic learning, personal development and relate this to a complex and busy working environment was really critical to the success of the programme. I have enjoyed the programme a great deal. It has given me the opportunity to develop my skills, competences and confidence in a range of situations.”
“I have thoroughly enjoyed the programme from learning new skills to building new relationships. It has been great to have the space to develop myself in an environment away from work.”
“It’s given me some new tools and a better understanding of action learning . In particular I feel more competent in working with group dynamics and understanding how people interact and I have enjoyed trying out new things and having the opportunity to review what worked well and what hasn’t.”
“The whole experience has given Age Concern a real buzz of enthusiasm! We are all planning ideas and events to secure a successful future with a really positive contribution. Although some of the future is beyond our control we remain extremely positive.”
“The workshop raised my awareness about the effects of power, culture, influence and politics in organisations, it has made me look at senior managers and internal politics in a different light and how I can influence changes – really valuable experience. ”
“I’ve enjoyed being in a group, learning from others experiences. It’s opened up ideas on what it means to be an effective leader, it’s very different than I thought at the beginning and it’s given me the confidence to influence others.”
“My coach (Sally) inspired me and helped me gain a different perspective whilst I was going through a tough year.”
“Sally has worked with me on a number of projects, the most recent of which was aimed at raising commercial awareness as part of our L&MD programme. Sally is enthusiastic and focused and uses high levels of expertise and facilitation skills to achieve the desired outcomes.”
“I’ve found the whole programme really useful. I’ve learnt to be more assertive and feel more confident in my abilities. I’ve so appreciated the break from the day to day environment. The space has enabled me to reflect on my leadership style and I now see myself very differently.”
“The feedback and general feelings from the team yesterday were really positive – thank you! We covered everything we’d set out to, so time very well spent I’d say. Certainly looking forward to getting a follow-up booked in.”
