LEAD Testimonials
LEAD delegates have made the below comments about the positive impact of the LEAD programme on their businesses:
"When I joined the LEAD programme the growth of the company was being held back as I was too busy working ‘in’ the business, rather than ‘on’ it. LEAD has helped me turn that around and since the programme our turnover has doubled and we now have a team of ten consultants"
Angela Smith, Managing Director, The Write Angle PR & Marketing
"We operate across the UK, but thanks to the LEAD programme I’ve been able to identify a niche market in international placements and we’ve signed our first deal in China"
Claire Wiseman, Hargreaves James Associates
"I have found it extremely valuable, as it gives you contact with other people who are facing similar challenges and it helps build your confidence. Running a small business can be isolating; meeting other people and listening to their experiences makes you realise that everybody is facing the same problems as you"
Lynn Fotheringham, Director, Inside Out Buildings
"My favourite part of the whole course was an inspirational masterclass given by Frank Dick, who was one of the Olympic coaches involved in our success in China. I will never forget Frank’s closing words as they struck a real chord with me personally. I was teetering on the edge of changing my business and I was in a period of indecision and Frank said: If not you, who? If not now, when?"
Stuart Brakewell, Managing Director, Central Power Services
"I was a bit dubious about coaching because I’ve never done anything like it before, but it was fantastic. My coach has been continuously helping me to pull away from day to day operations which is a massive achievement"
Richard Baguley, Managing Director, GDR Public Relations
"I found the shadowing process particularly valuable. My chosen partner recommended to me that I should consider generating revenue from activities closely related to those we are already doing, and made recommendations on a reorganisation of personnel, while I recommended to him that he needs to re-define process in the business"
Rupert Gatty, Managing Director, CoolKit
"We have achieved a fourfold increase in turnover, with our workforce now up to 119. To grow as rapidly as we have, while also increasing profits is a difficult balancing act, but LEAD helped us to implement very effective policies"
Michael Gray, 1st Stop Finance
