In 2009 we were asked to provide a modular management development programme for 30-40 middle and senior managers within Opus Energy. This modular programme is developing as new needs emerge and we were delighted to receive this testimonial.
“Kay and Adrian provide a truly flexible service and are responsive to the needs of the business and the people that work within it. They really listen to us and take time to understand what we need as opposed to assuming or dictating what they think our requirements are. They are great at communicating with us and do so through whichever methods best suit us and the situation, whether it is face-to-face, or by phone or email. They have been able to work very quickly on projects and have surprised us (and possibly even themselves!) with how quickly they have been able to take a proposed learning intervention right through from an initial idea to design and successful delivery. They give us regular updates and feedback whilst working on projects for us.
The Development Company have provided real value for money and have delivered cost effective solutions for us. In addition to designing and delivering training, they have been generous in sharing their knowledge, resources and ideas with us.
They are very approachable and honest and their delivery style is enthusiastic and interactive. The sessions they have delivered for us have been varied in terms of media used, which makes them interesting and memorable – they use a great combination of media including large and small group activities, reflection, theories / models, videos and discussions.
We are extremely pleased with the service and value provided to us by The Development Company and would be delighted to recommend them.”

” For the past 5 years I have struggled with laying some difficult memories to rest. Seemingly triggered by a bout of post-natal depression, these closet skeletons tormented me, impacting my behaviours to those closest to me and affecting my general well being and peace of mind. I regularly felt tearful and apprehensive in certain situations and had actually begun to believe that I would never truly be happy inside and would always be searching for things to make me feel good. This gave me a massive guilt trip on the back of everything else, as actually I have the most wonderful husband and children that anyone could wish for, a great job and a superb relationship with my boss. ” ” At the end of 2007 I was invited to the Times Créme event and colleagues who had been at previous events recommended that I book into any seminars where Kay was speaking. I did this and thoroughly enjoyed Kay’s talks on Time Management and Assertiveness. Kay is the most inspirational speaker that I have ever heard and I felt on a real high after the event – equipped with lots of tools to make not only my working life but also my personal life easier too. ” ” The Development Company ran a competition during the event offering a free hour Life Coaching. I entered and thought no more about it – no-one ever actually wins these things? ” ” 2008 must be my year! I won the competition and spoke with Kay over the phone in January. Initially I felt a bit ridiculous pouring out all my troubles to someone who didn’t know me, but Kay was brilliant. Talking to her was so easy and relaxed, even though we were complete strangers! Kay helped me recognise how much I really wanted rid of the miserable thoughts and feelings from my past and how closure to these problems would enable me to stop wasting such energy on such a fruitless exercise! ” ” Kay set me various tasks and to date I haven’t looked back! I have been able to stop replaying all the negative scenes. I’ve virtually forgiven and forgot! Something I was convinced I would never do. I’m spending quality time with close family and I feel great. I’ve been able to focus on more important things and have lost over a stone in weight. It feels like there is no looking back! I am armed with so many tools given by Kay that I can truly say that the life coaching session for me was priceless. Kay’s contact details are firmly stored and if I ever feel that there is something I can’t overcome on my own, I will be straight on the phone to Kay – a wonderful lady who clearly is passionate about her work and the well-being of those she comes into contact with. ” - Mandy Baxter, Business Support Administrator, O2
