Steve facilitated our board away day at North Kent Mind. He delivered a dynamic, entertaining and thought-provoking day. Steve gave his time before, during and after the day. I felt it was of excellent value and our board came away with concrete actions and plans. His facilitation is first class and Steve is a very likeable, approachable consultant, who makes people at all levels feel at ease.

Coaching with Steve has helped to restore my confidence following a challenging few months in a previous role and develop my leadership skills and style as I transition into being a first-time charity Chief Executive.
Steve has provided the perfect balance of insightful and honest critical reflection and supportive encouragement. Our coaching sessions have enabled me to feel more self-assured in leading ‘my way’, and also encourage my colleagues to recognise and develop their own leaderships skills.
Steve’s input has enabled me to learn more about myself as a person, and as a leader, at a crucial time in my career, to grow from his wisdom and guidance and feel better prepared for the challenges that I’m likely to face in my role as a charity CEO.

Steve delivered two sessions for us at our NHS Charities Together national conference; one on Terrific Terminology and one on Marvellous Methodology. Feedback from attendees was particularly positive on the Terrific Terminology session.
Steve really engaged the room, pitching the session at the right level, and managing to get a lot of information across in a short space of time – with a good level of humour and a confident, relaxed style.
The planning and development process wasn’t without its challenges, but Steve turned up and delivered, creating a good foundation for further conversations on impact! I am looking forward to working together on a webinar later in the year.

Steve worked with us recently as a facilitator on our Learn, Test, Change series for local trustees.
I find Steve so thoughtful and curious, just as you’d hope a great facilitator to be – he really wants to get the best from working together.
Steve’s knowledge of our work and the wider sector helped greatly and he brought a sense of perspective and humour to some difficult circumstances. I look forward to when we can work together again.

We really enjoyed our Values Workshop with Steve, he’s a brilliant facilitator and trainer.
Not only was it fun with amazing colourful sticky notes, pens and string but it felt as if everyone’s views and, most importantly, values were listened to and validated. That’s no mean feat with such a large group and range of people!
This is what I was really keen to achieve when briefing Steve and I really felt like he spent the time listening to me. The other great thing is that he adapted his plan on the day to meet the additional needs within the group, so we really appreciated that.
I highly recommend Steve and look forward to working with him again soon.
