Feedback from three of the delegates who attended our 12 month bespoke programme:
“SiM is a fantastic programme that is a MUST for all new up-and-coming managers, even existing and current ones.”
”Just thought I’d say a quick thank you for all your support over the past year. I would just like to say that it has been the most enjoyable/relevant course I have been on, to better myself and my department in all areas.”
”I have to say the course is superb and has been the most informative and enjoyable courses I have had. It has helped me become a more mature manager and filled some gaps in my knowledge and skills, and has also helped me to overcome my fears of having to prepare and carry out a business presentation amongst many other things, and has given me more confidence when dealing with both customers and my colleagues.”

We received this feedback today, unsolicited, from the boss of three of the delegates:
“I am extremely proud of the way they have committed themselves to this hugely beneficial programme, and to pass with such high grades confirms their commitment to the programme.
I know talking to the boys they have found this programme highly beneficial and enjoyable and I pass on my congratulations to you and your team for making it so.
I know they will implement everything they have learnt to make us a better stronger business and give them confidence as they take more responsibility in the running of our business.”

Today, and for the next two-days, the managers-to-be that I’ve been coaching in people-skills over the past twelve-months will be put through their paces.
The client is using a series of case studies, an OtJ Project, knowledge tests, and a formal presentation (phew!) to see how much they’ve learned and put into practice.
Wishing them luck!
