I know whatever our requirements are, Inspire Development will tailor make a training course specific to our needs and deliver a programme that the delegates become thoroughly absorbed in.
Sue Birch, General Business Manager, The Vacancy Management Company -
You immersed yourself fully into the programme and the sessions that you facilitated were excellent. The delegates really appreciated your naturally enthusiastic style and listened intently to what you had to say.
Phil Yates, Director, Customised Training Solutions -
I have never witnessed a training session that was delivered in such a way that the delegates left challenged, enthused and motivated to make a change in such a way as Inspire Development does I cannot speak highly enough of the service provided.
Mark Shiner, Sales Trainer, Ortho Biotech -
Throughout 2006 I led a large-scale development programme for one of the UK's largest blue-chip organisations, and I needed a team of highly skilled facilitators to deliver the programme. Kat was recommended to me by a trusted business colleague. It has been a privilege to work with her. Not only is she a consummate facilitator and topic expert, her enthusiasm and passion for her work is infectious and we have received stellar evaluations whenever she has been involved on delivery of a module. She has added immense value to the programme and I look forward to working with her again in the future.
Mary Long, Director, Jordan Consultants -
I know that the team have already given their feedback, but I thought I would write you a note rather than leave a message. I think that the course achieved the brief really well and was relevant to the team. The team were clearly energised when I arrived showing their enthusiasm for the theory and techniques incorporated into the AL session. Kat was a great role-model for the course demonstrating the skills she was advocating. As an excellent course leader, she made it look really easy and completely natural. Kat showed tremendous empathy with the group and tailored the sessions well to keep us all engaged. The group came out with a lot of ideas and solutions to use for the future and I have committed to follow up during our 1:1 sessions and at team meetings to continue the enthusiasm and momentum.
Chris Quinn, Training and Development Manager, Shire Pharma
Thank you both for coming up with a training solution that was so relevant and inspirational.

10 Leadership Tips
As a Leader, you must know yourself. Know your strengths and weaknesses; this will help you build the best team around you.
Be clear about your objectives so that your can prioritise and remain focused. You also need to have a plan how to achieve them.
Build a highly capable and motivated team committed to achieving your objectives.
Provide support to each team member so they are able to give their best effort.
Communication is critical. Take time to listen, understand, consult, involve and explain why as well as what needs to be done.
“Praise loudly, blame softly.” (Catherine the Great) Follow this maxim. The most powerful way of gaining respect and trust is by always giving credit to others and taking blame and accepting responsibility.
Accentuate the positive; express your thoughts in terms of how what you want things and not what you don’t want. Keep looking forward.
In this high tech world of teleconference, mobile phones, emails, webinars etc. do take the time to walk around, speak to people face to face, learn from those around you and remember to make time for those one-to-one’s, they are as important as ever, if not more so.
Demonstrate unshakeable faith in the people around you to achieve great things. They will do anything to prove you right most of the time.
Constantly take opportunities to learn, keep developing, while you may be busy, failing to invest in yourself will ultimately result in your going backward or at best staying stuck. If you want to continue to prosper, keep developing.
