Testimonials

First and foremost, I just wanted to thank you again for letting me be a part of your open day! What an amazing experience. It takes true genuine talent to encourage the level of emotion and passion out of each individual that you managed to get in that room. It's a genuine skill and a gift and I really loved watching how fast it transformed their confidence levels!

Don’t worry I’m not going to send you all my work from now on, but I did feel the need to show you that I really agreed with what you said on Friday, and I have simplified my ppt right down and created a hand-out to accompany it! I’ll let you know how this is received after I deliver it on Wednesday.

I thoroughly enjoyed our session on Friday. It was hard work, but intensely useful and interesting throughout. I had great confidence in your experience and insight, and your own delivery of the material was so arresting that it was hard not to want to emulate that level of engagement with my own audiences.

I can’t recall another development session that has felt so immediately useful and impactful. I will continue to practice the methods you have taught us.

Lorna Sheldon was highly recommended to me by a trusted professional, so I had high expectations for the Day 1 Training. The two groups of participants were Bulgarian and had a wide range of ability. The improvement in their performance, by the end of the day was astonishing.

To say this training is: effective, good value for money or worth the time investment, are inadequate understatements. Lorna's mastery of communication gives participants the opportunity to learn through observation of excellence. This programme is full emersion in experiential learning. Progress is fast, and lasting. Deep suppression of self-expression was overcome, seemingly effortlessly. Lorna knows how to get maximum progress from each individual, with compassionate directness and understanding. One leaves with tools to improve communication, which can be applied in all situations: from daily life, to formal presentations.

This is a powerful group or individual experience that can be life-changing.

I thought I knew everything. During 7 hrs of training there was only 1 thing I already knew, the other 6 hrs 45 mins were extremely new and exciting to learn.

Can I just say how absolutely thrilled everyone was with the training over the past two days. Without exception every single member of the team found it thoroughly enjoyable and extremely valuable.

I have also mentioned you to a number of other companies where I believe they need your training programmes.

Once again Lorna thanks very much for what you have helped our colleagues achieve over the past couple of days. If you want me to send recommendations or post recommendations on your site please let me know and I shall be delighted to do so.

The Bank of Scotland Corporate wanted to find the Property Entrepreneur Company of the year. A prize of £10 million for the Midlands rested on the best presentation. Five companies took part. Lorna was delighted to be invited to coach Stoford Group, a well-known property company in Birmingham. Time was short. In two days Lorna had assisted in writing the scripts, designed the PowerPoint presentation and coached the CEO, Financial Director and New Business Director. She insisted on rehearsals every day before the big event.

Stoford Group won the £10 million and what a surprise Lorna found out the company that took second place had also received coaching from her in the past!

I've received the feedback sheets this morning. I didn't really need them though as people have gone out of their way to my desk/ email me to tell me what a fantastic session it was! Thank you!

I already have had 40 people contact me to be allocated to any future session so thank you.
