'Please accept my thanks for last week’s course. It was timely for me in a couple of ways:
1) It is always useful to learn skills before applying them so you don't fall in to bad habits that you then need to try and change. I have a very willing pupil I will be trying all my new tips and techniques out on!
2) I am going through a difficult time personally and a reminder of what is my responsibility and what I can effect against what I can't was really useful (E+R=O). Also the fact that my attitude is up to me and their attitude is up to them was a good reminder along with letting someone deal with their own bananas!! I can't be responsible for everyone else and their own attitudes and problems, but I can support and help them deal with them.
So although this was a business course and I learnt some new techniques for starting my management experiences, on a personal level I got a lot out of the two days and I thank you both for that'. - Senior Account Manager, Zurich Financial Services


'Big thank you again for such a great two day inspirational course...I really got a lot from all of it and am feeling very 'buzzy' about how this can direct me to places where I wish to go!!' Senior Manager, Zurich Financial Services

'Thank you so much for an incredible day. It exceeded all expectations and was refreshingly relaxed, fun and effective. We both learnt an awful lot about our team and how they interact with each other in different scenarios. You would giggle but be mighty proud if you heard them all talking now. It is all about which box they are in and it has already generated a very enthusiastic feeling amongst them all. All Managers gave you high praise indeed yesterday and re-iterated how enjoyable and enlightening the day was. Thank you for inspiring us. It was wonderful to have our eyes opened to different ways of leadership and team involvement while at the same time respecting and appreciating our colleagues way of doing things.
I think we shall have a lot of fun with this journey and I know that we will see you back here at some time .... the team would readily now invite that and so would we.'  - Kate Lumsden, Director, Esprit Group.


'Many thanks for a great performance. Stylish, humorous and relevant content for our customer focused audience, what more could we want? Your performance, coupled with your very professional approach to the speaking business, means that I have no hesitation in recommending you to any conference organiser (except that instinctively, I perefer to keep my best performers away from my rivals)'. - Don Hales, Institute of Customer Service Annual Conference.


'I dread long meetings because I am diabetic and easily get tired. Trying to stay alert for long hours is to me a feat. However, I did not even yawn during the 2 days of training. When my colleagues asked me about the course, I told them it was so captivating that the word "excellent" can merely scratch the surface. In the same token, I was in Alaska this summer and seeing the mountains and the glaciers, then I realized the meaning of the word "magnificent". You have to be there to feel it. I told them they have to meet Patricia to be charmed by her style of presentation. There was never a dull moment and was so enlightening !' - Michael Chan, FRI corporation.


'Thanks very much for a great day last week, I really enjoyed the course, and thought the team benefited from the exercises.
I am already benefiting from the tricks you highlighted, so all in all I am a very happy course participant!' - Monica Nermark, StatPro Group.

We have always found her to be insightful and thought-provoking in her approach, and with an excellent ability to get everyone involved. There is a genuine desire to ensure each delegate takes something away from a training session, and this is very important to us. I would have no hesitation in recommending Patricia’s services to others' - Martyn Denney, Director, Broker Network.

I have heard it twice and if I were without ethics I would copy the CD ten times and pass it on... what I will do instead is buy the other 3 CDs and let people borrow them and decide for themselves.
