Rachel McClean
Law Firm Partner
"I would highly recommend the leadership course run by Dave. As a new manager/leader it has given me valuable insight into how to lead effectively and how to work with all members of my team. The interactive sessions are engaging and practical, and the supportive group of delegates has made the experience even more rewarding—I feel we’ve built genuine connections along the way."
Luke Harris
MD Roofing Company
"As a business leader, the course has been really useful time to reflect on my personal management style. It’s great to hear and share ideas and discuss common problems with fellow managers. The sessions and time after allow for reflection on how I communicate with my team, understand different personality traits and how decisions and actions may affect others. I have tried to implement this into conversations with my team and improve my skills."
