Endorsements - What our clients say about us and why you should join all the stakeholders who have already utilised our services.

“I wouldn't change a thing. I am really grateful we had the experience and the time to sit and talk about leadership. Manoj was always personable, friendly, calming and easy to talk to but he obviously has so much experience and asked such great questions that made me reflect on my own leadership and provided drive to always keep doing my best. The sessions were adequately timed and he was so flexible with making times. Things we did like the questionnaires and the culture deck are things we can take back to school and use with our teams. It was amazing to have the chance to meet a Spinal Surgeon which wouldn't otherwise have happened so I appreciate Manoj facilitating that. I think this experience as well as now doing the book 'Ferocious warmth' at school will help continue the korero around leadership and mainly providing time to learn, discuss and reflect.”

- A.P. and Syndicate Team Leader 

“A chance to reflect on my own Leadership and Management- great thought provoking activity for myself and my team. 

We are individuals and while we may not all have the same style/view/ strategy, it opens up the opportunity to get the best from all the team.

Provided the opportunity for in depth collegial conversations around what we were finding out about ourselves and where our passions and challenges were.

A chance to reflect on building emotional intelligence, where are the gaps for myself and my team?

Lovely to just chat about educational challenges that we are facing and reflect on all the real positives.”

- Learning Support Coordinator and SENCO

“Manoj was an invaluable mentor to me by regularly meeting up with me and helping me to uncover my leadership strengths and nurturing my professional passions. He is super friendly and approachable and he created an open environment where ideas flowed freely, making it easy for me to make connections and to share honestly and vulnerably. He has a keen insight into effective leadership which not only helped me recognise my potential but also gave me the confidence to embrace new challenges. He is trustworthy and professional, offering constructive feedback and support.”

“Thanks for the opportunity to work with you recently. As a teacher and Team Leader work can be very focussed around logistics, checklists, plans, data, student wellbeing & success and looking after the team. Having time and resources allocated to working with you provided a chance to balance this out. Not only was I able to stop and reflect on my wellbeing and professional growth but it also opened up the space to look at my strengths and areas of potential growth. I was able to take a breath, step back and focus on what I bring to the table as a person and a professional as well as changes I could make to continue growth in areas I feel necessary.Your programme supported me in understanding why I make decisions I make, actions I take and interactions I have. It also enabled me to turn the lens around and reflect on that for the people around me. In turn, understanding them and how best to support them. 

Your friendly and calm nature ensured it was easy to communicate with you and I was comfortable to be open and vulnerable in our conversations. Your professional knowledge also allowed for targeted issues to be discussed with ease.Thanks again for your valuable time and energy.”

- Junior School Team Leader 

“Manoj is an attentive listener with a wealth of knowledge. His program thoughtfully guides you to achieve your goals independently through practical, personalised activities. I appreciated how tailored the experience was, allowing me to work at my own pace and focus on what was most relevant to me at each moment.
