• “Very good, thought provoking.”

Strategy development and culture change in a university department
Feedback:

• “This helped us set a new direction for the department”
• “The need to focus on the ‘important / non urgent’ issues rather than just being driven by the ‘urgent / important’ ones, was a key learning point.”
• “I thought the culture stuff would be too ‘touchy feely’, but it gave us a clear direction for change”

Supporting the development of performance management at Leeds Grammar School
Feedback:

• “I found the session last night to be well-pitched and refreshingly low on jargon. Some of the pointers (being specific with praise; setting clear and realistic objectives) were helpful this lunch-time when seeing pupils as part of the monitoring process.”
• “You should get him back – he was down to earth, sensible, and had practical suggestions.”
• “I think he was worth listening to on these topics and suspect all HOD’s should hear it.”
• “I found the session on Monday very stimulating and thank you for it.”
