“I completed a workshop with Campbell McWilliams over five years ago and I still use the techniques covered every day, with both my family and in my business life.  I have even helped my wife and daughter to use the techniques because I have found them so powerful.”  

David Kennedy, Customer Services, Scottish Power

“This workshop provided valuable new ideas and insight into interactions with others – bosses, peers, teams and even friends and family, that I can apply both at work and in my personal life.  I have attended many courses on interpersonal skills during my career so was a little sceptical before attending this.  However, I found that Heather Campbell brought this material to life and helped me explore how to actually apply it in my role at the BBC – it wasn’t just theory, it was real, practical advice.  An excellent day!  Well worth my time in attending and with ideas and approaches that I can put to use immediately.”

Issie Sleight, BBC, London

“Thank you for your time last week on the telephone helping me to prepare for the pending company communications event.  Just a quick note to let you know that the communications worked very well.  I found the discussion with you helped me to think through what I wanted to achieve and put a better framework around the process.  The feedback from the audience was very positive also and they have asked that we tailor future communications in a similar informal setting.”  

Mary Hennessy, Human Resources Manager, Assurant Services Ireland Ltd.

“Just came away from our 9th LimeBridge gathering, this time in Singapore. Just wanted to say another thank you for two things:

• Listening for understanding
• Making space for conversations

So useful!”

Peter Massey, Managing Director, Budd (UK) Ltd

“I had to carry out a couple of staff appraisals one of which was always going to be difficult. I prepared a list of points which were most worrisome, and wrote out my position and feelings re same. At the appraisal, I listened to the chap, applied the technique and asked for his opinion. On each of these points we managed to find a way around the difficulties, and probably because of this, he volunteered more information that might never have been offered.  I think appraisals are particularly difficult and I can only conclude that the absence of a ‘twittering amygdala’ was the difference!"

Stewart Brown, Group Technical Director, McKean Group

“The workshop was excellent on Friday, having been on over 40 short courses during my career I can honestly say this was the most productive one day course I have experienced and have already started using the new techniques.” 

Shane Tickell, Account Director, iSoft PLC

“Today was absolutely brilliant!  I learned a lot about myself, some useful techniques for managing conversations and got to work with a great bunch of people.  There are a small number of very useful tips to use which should mean that implementation is easier i.e. what we've covered feels just about right.”

Derek Boyd, CEO, National Microelectronics Institute

“Getting the Hints and Tips after the workshop really helped me to make changes to how I handle conversations.  Above all, they helped make sure I did something different because it gave me a good reminder of something I could do differently each week.  I started to use the powerful language instantly and straight away got more productive and immediate results.”
