What they say

“I delivered a number of courses with Robin during my tenure with the Leadership Trust. Robin is exceptional as a facilitator and Course Director, and he is also a lovely man. When he explains theory to a group, he has a captivating, conversational but wise style that holds the attention of the room. I remember sitting in the back of some of his group sessions and watching him deliver to an audience of about 40 people, and thinking ‘I wish I was that good’. I have also seen him working as a small-group facilitator, and again, he is superb; he understands people, understand the theory, and brings people and theory together. Robin is one of the top leadership and team development professionals in the country.”

Neil Jurd, OBE. Developing Leaders

“I first met Robin when I was a student at university by attending one of his leadership training courses. The course was such a success that The University of Kent decided to run it again for two consecutive years and to embed some of Rob’s learnings into an undergrad business module. This is just to show how impactful Rob’s work is, and as a young professional fresh out of university I am living proof of how his course can shape people’s personal, academic and professional journeys. What really makes Robin unique is his approach to life and work. He has the ability to understand his audience and to fully adapt to it, making his trainings very engaging and never boring. Story telling is definitely his forte, as well as his great interpersonal skills! Would love to work with him again in the future!“

“Although a little unsure before starting the sessions, I soon experienced a new found clarity in my thoughts. Excellent“

“I have been a member of the management team for 11 years and this is by the far the best CPD I have experienced – I strongly recommend this programme“

“Robin possesses a vast amount of enthusiasm and knowledge in his profession. His excellent leadership skills are clearly visible in his own natural style. He is organised and outcome focussed with a clear desire to make a difference to others he works with. Robin has achieved noticeable results delivering his Leadership and Management Development Programmes within schools and organisations which is testament to his professionalism.“

The British Embassy in Greece asked for two 3-hour sessions for members of their staff to explore Performance Coaching and Personal Effectiveness through the lens of leadership.

“Robin’s coaching session had the perfect mix of plenary discussions and breakout activities. He offered us opportunities to practise some interesting methods of communication that apply to both a professional and personal context. His friendly and engaging delivery made this a truly relaxing and thought-provoking learning experience. He often used real-life examples that enhanced my understanding of how coaching can improve my efficiency and interpersonal skills. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking to improve their performance and personal effectiveness.”

“I first asked Robin to represent our company by fulfilling a coaching contract with one of our clients. Robin not only delivered his coaching with impressively high levels of skill, integrity and professionalism, but so impressed the client that he has been able to expand the contract significantly. On another occasion I engaged Robin to speak to our Transformational Leadership Forum, and his input was passionately delivered and exceptionally well received. Robin’s impressive depth and breadth of knowledge of leadership and organisation performance is matched by his integrity, intelligence and personal warmth. He is a pleasure to do business with, and can be trusted wholeheartedly to do the most excellent work, and deliver great results. I recommend him without hesitation, and would very much myself like to work with him on an increasingly wider basis.”

Paul Crittenden

“The best accolade I can give is simply that those I work with noticed the difference of ‘before’ and ‘after’ in terms of the way I led the team and interacted with colleagues. Needless to say, the changes were for the better, and sustained over time.“

Y Azad, Director NAT

“I know Robin when we worked together on a Transformational Thinking proposal for a prospective client. I have since become an Associate at Matrix7. Robin is a great person to work with and a cool customer when put under pressure. He has a great ability at weaving in his business experience into client conversations through story telling and has a rich tool bag to draw from. I would certainly work with Robin again should the right client opportunity arise.“
