HR Foundations and Partnering
5. Management and team development is often left to chance. We deliver dynamic, fun and interactive
training that grows inspiring managers and creates powerful teams.
6. Essential Management Development
Great Managers have skill, knowledge and
confidence. They have worked hard to learn and
develop themselves in a way that gets the best
from others. We create memorable learning
experiences for new and existing managers. From
hiring great talent to delivering meaningful
feedback. From identifying and growing potential to
tackling difficult conversations. We know how to
create learning that makes a difference.
Core Skills Training
Lack of skill or experience can stifle confidence
and paralyse us. Managers need to know how to
get the best from their staff; and teams need to
understand how to collaborate and perform
together. We run highly interactive training for
Managers and Teams that delivers exceptional
results.
Team Coaching
Just like in sports coaching, we work with
individuals and groups to refine talent and enhance
potential. By developing their common purpose we
inspire teams to become clear about what they
want and how they can achieve it.
High Performance Team Development
Exceptional teams have something special. They
have trust, courage and respect and with these
attributes they achieve incredible results. We know
the difference between team building and the
lasting impact of Team Development. Our work
ensures connections and growth that changes the
way teams function. Let us help you create
exceptional teams for your business.

9. Leadership Development Programme
After a successful interview for an exciting
new position I’m convinced that the LDP
program that I undertook with your team has
played a major part in this promotion. They
were blown away when I could engage with
them about MBTI profiles and explain mine.
How I would fit within their organisation was
obviously very important to them. So thank
you

Testimonials
Coaching
I referred an individual to Liz for coaching to assist him in securing a new
role. The individual had left a job in circumstances where the relationship
with the employer had left him low in confidence and morale. He had been
shortlisted for half a dozen roles with good employers and was receiving
positive feedback but had not been offered any roles. In only a couple of
one-to-one sessions with Liz she challenged his approach, attitude and
response to application and interview. Liz was instrumental in making the
individual stand out as a candidate by encouraging him to challenge the
standard responses and attitude to HR. With Liz’s guidance and support
the individual was successful in securing a role in a global company over
100s of applicants. I would not hesitate to recommend Liz going forward.

Leadership Development Programme
Liz and her team have provided leadership development
and coaching support to senior leaders across our Northern
European business during the past 2 years.
They have supported us in the design and delivery of a
transformational leadership programme, which is being
delivered to all leaders, at all levels.
What I personally like about working with Liz is her
adaptability and agility to support many facets of the
organisations development. With her focus on the ‘end
customer’, she challenges us all to put our people, the
customer and the future of the organisation at the heart of
all decisions.
If you are thinking of being coached by Liz though be
prepared to work hard, to sweat a little and to be as
committed as she is – the end results are worth it!
Client
Honestly Liz, you’re the best.
This journey has been life

Management Development Programme
I absolutely believe in the Development Programme and the sharing of
experiences, looking deep into ones self and opening up to a trusted group
of colleagues totally empowers you to really see where your strengths and
weaknesses actually are and gives you an insight to where you truly want
to be as a leader, what drives you on, what stops you progressing and
what inspires you to achieve more for your team and self.
Thanks for all of the support I felt during the two sessions from each and
every one of you, Nicola is a wonderful facilitator who brings the very best
out of each participant and together with the HR team has put together a
remarkable training package.
