I found this to be absolutely brilliant – I came away enthusiastic about the possibility of taking the next step and applying for management roles. I gained many useful insights and practical tools over the 2 days that I know I will be using immediately in my current role and going forwards. Denise was excellent, I can’t rate her highly enough – full of enthusiasm, very engaging and a breadth and depth of knowledge that is to be admired. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending that other people go on the course if they have thoughts about becoming a manager.

I would highly recommend this course to anyone that wants to step into management or even people that just want a better understanding of management. I feel that I gained a substantial amount from this course and it has given me plenty to reflect on.

The passion and enthusiasm shown on this course was fantastic. This was the most engaging course that I have ever been on as the pacing was almost perfect, making people step out of the comfort zone and really think about how and why people act as they do and gave people the tools to deal with them.

I just wanted to reach out and personally say thank you to you – I really, really enjoyed the session. I feel very empowered after it, and I think I can really build my confidence up to one day be a great manager. You were really fantastic at delivering all the tasks and keeping everybody motivated – I wish I could take the course again! I also have to say that I really felt inspired seeing another woman lead this programme… as a young woman I felt inspired seeing you leading, coordinating and confidently delivering the sessions.”

Denise is an amazing coach who has gained my total respect and trust. I tried for a long time to find a coach that challenged me professionally and whom I trusted to challenge and coach me personally. Denise is intuitive and creative in her coaching and pushes me in a way that no other professional has done before. I admire and respect her ability to tune in to the issues in hand and to apply the right amount of questioning and support to enable me to find answers that address today’s challenges. I highly recommend Denise.

I have experienced Denise’s coaching and training, at a one to one session, and also a formal training session at Mersey Maritime Ltd. As well as incisive coaching expertise, Denise provides very practical tools for personal development, which proved invaluable to me during a time of significant career transition. I have one of Denise’s strategic planning techniques drawn on my office noticeboard, and use it regularly. Denise has a unique and highly effective approach. No jargon. No loud, over-demonstrative presentations. Just solid and insightful training and coaching.
