Testimonials

“I want to express our appreciation for the two courses you delivered last year at our HBOS offices, which covered Effective Business Writing and Effective Communication. Our pre-meeting with you gave us the opportunity to run through the detail of the courses to ensure delivery of our aims and meet the needs of the specific staff undertaking the course. You worked with us when we had to reschedule one of the courses last minute, which was very much apprciated. The presenters were very professional, obliging, knowledgeable and delivered the courses with enthusiasm and humour. We received positive feedback from those colleagues that attended the courses, and as a result we will be looking to run several more courses with you this year. We look forward to working with you again in 2010.

“I want to express the appreciation of the whole Management Team for the research, care and quality you put into this week’s “Developing Strategic Thinking” event.

As a company that has been trading for over 30 years we viewed this as an opportunity to ‘freshen up’ our forward planning. It has achieved this purpose.

We were originally going to have a one day event, but we added to this, and the additions were of immense value.

Initial discussions with individuals, held a few days before the full day’s session really helped. They enabled your colleague Ray to skilfully guide us through the process of evaluating and developing a Strategic attitude of mind. I would recommend your approach as the most effective way to deliver value for everyone’s time.

There is a renewed ‘team commitment’ of increased clarity of thought and purpose shown by all who were involved. Our task is now to implement our clearer strategic vision throughout the company. You have given us a good start.

Nicola, you have the statement on your business card- ‘turning potential into performance’. I can honestly say it is a claim that you fulfil. “

“Nicola Caukill worked closely with myself and the Faculty Management Team for several months at Buckinghamshire New University and during that time became a valuable member of the management team. She quickly acclimatised to the culture and business needs of the Faculty and was aware of strategic areas which we could grow and develop. She provided the team with one to one business coaching, which helped us to better understand our mutual goals and move forward in a more considered and cohesive way.

Nicola also led the planning and delivery of a Portfolio Leader Management programme which was specifically designed around both Faculty and individual needs. She worked closely in partnership with myself to ensure that this progarmme met the strategic management development of the Faculty whilst helping Portfolio Leaders to better understand their roles and responsibility within this broader Faculty framework. The programme ran very successfully and has enabled this group to work more effectively as a team and with a greater understanding of their responsibilities to contribute fully to the future of the faculty.

Nicola is a real people person, very easy to work with and very empathetic to corporate and personal agendas and goals. I have no hesitation in recommending her.”

“impact4 team were able to find this solution for our company, by working with the individuals, within their working environment, to help them to ’speak out’ and identify the weaknesses themselves. Then, to understand that by working together effectively, the frustrations would be removed and the team could become much stronger.”

“Through his expert facilitation skills Ray has worked with us to improve both our interpersonal and communication skills and in particular influencing, assertion and the ability to handle conflict. This has lead to us being a more effective organisation as we move forward. I would highly recommend Ray Beaglehole and impact4 to you. Turning potential into performance“
