I soon found myself converted and the advice, information and practical tips provided have made a genuine change and improvement in helping me to approach and deal with a variety of situations, and also changed my outlook and view on dealing with and approaching previously unassailable problems.

'I worked with Dan through a 121 coaching programme with Dan in 2014, which along with his management training and insights profiling, has delivered huge benefits to both me and my team. His ability to engage with an audience, coupled with real life insight and experiences, means you come away from his sessions with the tools and most importantly the confidence to apply them. Working with Dan has been a pleasure, and I continue to value his opinions and support following the conclusion of the 121 programme.'

James Manby, Head of Consumer Division, EMEA at BW Penman

'I recently completed one of Dan's management training sessions and have already seen an improvement in the behaviours and performance of my team. He uses his extensive FMCG experience and theory of the colour preferences to overcome common challenges faced by managers on a daily basis. Over 3 interactive sessions we pulled apart a wide range of managerial activities including appraisals, presenting skills, time management and delegation models. Dan's open style allowed me to share my experience of management to date and discover new ways of getting the best from my team. His sessions are engaging, constructive and will make you sit up and think about how you approach the people around you. Dan is an excellent mentor and has transformed my management style for the better. If you're an ambitious manager looking to get more out of your team I'd highly recommend Dan's expertise.'

Mark Gouland, Business Manager, BW Penman

'Recently my team and myself followed a team effectiveness training with Dan, using the Insights Profiling Model (or ‘colours’). We all agreed that the sessions positively contributed to increasing the awareness of everyone’s communication style and to the effectiveness and dynamics in our new team (23 people). Dan is an excellent trainer who easily adapts his style to the profile of the people in the group. His focused and result driven approach certainly lead to a lasting impact. Dan uses also a great deal of humor what makes the training not only highly efficient and insightful but at the same time a fun team building activity that I can recommend!'
