Our clients agree our training sticks – clients from more than 10 years ago tell us they used our tools as they left the classroom and are still walking our walk and talking our talk!
We work on the basis that great coaches make themselves redundent, so whilst we are always happy to come back and train in new concepts, we actively encourage you to share the models with your teams, to steal our models with pride and spread the word.
Our mission is not to build a training empire! It is to change the world one cup of tea at a time!
