Why Choose Us?
Aren’t you bored with generic training, read from a script that you walk away from truly believing you could have read that information in a quarter of the time and got on with what you really needed to do? We have!
That’s one of the reasons we’re passionate about really making a difference and people being supported to achieve their goals.
What Our Clients Say About Us
“Absolutely brilliant and so informative.
A very emotional subject presented in a really fun way.”
“I really enjoyed this session. This is my first time joining in with these external trainers and It made me think more deeply into approaching safeguarding. I really liked their charts for supporting what to say and the safeguarding Matrix was very helpful. List of food for thought and I liked the case scenario exercise and how they broke it down with thinking fast and slow.”
“Excellent session, really engaging and thought provoking”
“I think the training was really insightful and informative and with the nature of how it was presented can be applied to a range of roles and whether someone is new or whether it’s to support further.”
“Very practical and fun as well”
Working with Haley to implement a large scale training programme for the organisation was brilliant, because her approach was pragmatic and flexible. She quickly became our ‘go-to’ trainer as her delivery was engaging and attendees on her sessions always left inspired. Haley has a wealth of knowledge and experience and is able to translate this into a responsive training session. She was also willing to adapt the delivery to our organisational vision. It was such a positive experience working with her!
“Excellent, informative course. Delivered by 2 people who knew their stuff & then some!”
“I’m not exaggerating when I say that I have not felt that level of support and empowerment from any professional I have had help from over the last 7 years.”
“I’ve been on loads of training over the years and I’ve taken more away from this!”
“Really relevant to role, good balance of theory and practical, interactive. Usually training can be quite ‘boring’ or ‘dull’ but they both made it very interactive and fun!”
“I really felt that you two do understand; you have such a wonderful insight into these little brains; it’s fantastic.”
