Client comments about Just about managing
"Good mix of theoretical and practical aspects with interesting advice and guidance particularly around performance management ."
Stfan Ferencz, Oaks Consultancy
"Extremely useful. The course enabled me to reflect on my own role as a manager and evaluate the good, bad and ugly of my style." Chipiliro Kalebo-Nyamongo, Healthwatch Birmingham |
"Invaluable. A long overdue opportunity to reflect on how to get the most out of my work." Kevin Eadie, Citizens Advice |
"Rob created a warm atmosphere where it was comfortable to share our ideas and experiences. He also gave us loads of concrete processes we could use in our own organisations that will definitely help us be better managers." Les Allan, Narthex Sparkhill
"The course was really well tailored to the voluntary sector. I felt I gained confidence in my current abilities as well as skills that I can use in my role." Susannah Wilson, BVSC |
"The course helped re orientate my whole approach to management and I can feel the difference." John Cooper, Fellowship of Reconciliation |
"Rob carried out the ‘Just about managing’ course for our management team. The feedback I had from managers was overwhelmingly positive; they particularly liked the blend of group and individual sessions. The training was carried out over 12 months ago and several managers still actively refer to Rob’s advice in current supervisions, using it to reflect on their management actions and style. I would highly recommend it." Jess Alsop-Greenacre, CEO, Lisieux Trust Ltd
"Rob’s Just About Managing course really does enable you to make the most of your own abilities. It’s amazing quite how a different skilled perspective can allow you to refresh what you find you already know (even that which you may not have realised you knew) and transform your skill base into a more management-focused form. The one to one mentoring/coaching sessions are also invaluable to put a personal experience spin on the revelations from the group course sessions." Sven Harvey, Age UK Birmingham
"Second session with Rob, excellent as the first. Very beneficial for him to motivate the group into sharing and hence tailoring the session to my specific needs." - Tom Bennett |
"Thank you for your training yesterday. I found it informative, inspiring and transformative: I have already made three changes to the way I communicate." Ginny Cullen MInstF (Cert) Father Hudson's Care |
“I have found Rob’s Just about Managing programme extremely useful in my day to day job as project manager. He has helped me to understand different techniques that I can use to improve my management skills and has also helped me reflect on how I manage and ways in which I can improve my performance and ultimately be happy in my job and life. If you get the chance to read any books he recommends DO IT!” Sarah

Excellent training really puts into context some of the practical methods around good management - Joseph Allen BVSC "Working with Rob has enabled me to reflect on my management style and to see that the issues I am faced with may also be the same issues team are faced with. I have a number of tools now to improve on my management" - Justine |
Very informative, useful and enjoyable training "A great express course covering all the fundamentals to good management, both of yourselves and others. I've learnt a lot and there's a lot I'm going to take into work and implement over the next few weeks. Highly recommended" - Jess |
