What our clients say about us

Phobia Cure

"Nicola, I hope you don't mind me sending you an e-mail, but I wanted to send you an update. You spoke to me at the end of a two day training course at Cheshire Police HQ, Winsford, regarding my rather random fear of bridges over water. Well, since we spoke I can quite confidently say that you have pointed me in the 'straight and narrow' direction! Last Thursday I walked across a road bridge in Chester that I had previously been unable to go over without breaking into a cold sweat, having my arms out to the side and walking down the edge of the road. I was able to walk along the railings side, look out towards the river and not shed a single tear! I think I still have a little way to go, but I am a million times better than I ever was. Thank you so much for what you did for me. I truly do appreciate it."

Lisa Wilson

Investigating Complaints of Harassment and Bullying Training

"The 2 day investigator training was fantastic. The subject was covered in a very straightforward way which made understanding very complex processes very simple. The training was informal and enjoyable and I have come away with a great deal of useful ideas and techniques. Very much appreciated and very highly recommended."

Marc Jones, Mid Devon District Council

"A first class training programme. I wish I had been given the opportunity to attend such a course at the start of my career in Human Resources. Role clarity, practical tips and application, and general structure for conducting an investigation - all immensely helpful and informative. I feel much better prepared and significantly more confident about conducting a thorough investigation. Utterly recommended."

Caroline Hall, Human Resources Manager

Harassment Adviser/Contact Officer Training

"This is the second course I have done with Nicola and once again I was very pleased and impressed. I feel I have come away with a sound understanding of the role I have been trained for and have some useful tricks and tools to allow me to fulfil the role. Many thanks."

Marc Jones, Diversity and Equality Officer, Mid Devon District Council

"Very insightful course. I now feel confident in managing a situation where I am a sounding board and offering guidance rather than advising. The practise sessions are great at testing your thought processes and building skills. Just the right amount of background information and practical. Good atmosphere and relaxed. Will not be adopting any monkeys! Thank you again, Nicola."

Carol Mills, Torridge Council, Devon

" This course far exceeded my expectations. The tone, pace, delivery and content were superb. Nicola managed to interpret a sometimes 'woolley' subject into clear deliverables with context and relevance. Delivered superbly and in an informal, fun way. 10/10."

Roland Lewis, VOSA

"Best course I've been on for many years. Good pace. Excellent mix of instruction and activities. Understanding checked at every stage. Great presentation style - very informal but informative. Feel equiped to tackle the HCO role."

Bev Williams, VOSA

" Excellent tempo within the course. Relaxed yet very informative with excellent and relevant examples. Easy learning pace. Nicola is a very relaxed trainer who met and exceeded my learning objectives. Brilliant course which has left me enthusiastic to engage with HCO diversity subjects."

Lisa, VOSA

Harassment Adviser Conference

‘Thank you on behalf of all the delegates and management for a job well done. Your role was pivotal in ensuring that the event was such a success and although there were compliments galore in the final session, the delegates I have since spoken to individually, have reinforced the view that the event is being hailed as a great success. You ensured that the event had direction, structure and such a positive outcome. A job done very well indeed - thank you.’

P. Lunn, Health & Safety Executive

Equal Opportunities Workshops

'The course was much more inspiring than previous, traditional courses I've attended. It was enjoyable and fun while dealing seriously with the issues concerned. It kept my attention well. I feel I have learned things I will remember.'

For a mandatory Equal Opps workshop it was 'more relaxed, easy-going and far more interesting and informative than expected.'

Investigations

'Nicola exhibited marked impartiality and objectivity, listening, questioning and reasoning skills, an analytical approach to the evidence, and the tenacity of purpose in getting down to the nub of the issues raised. She then produced a readable, convincing, concise report (with useful recommendations) to the set deadline.

This particular “Fairness & Respect at Work” complaint was the most difficult and problematical case I have been involved with in my three and a half years’ employment in Departmental Human Relations. It is greatly to Nicola Walker’s credit that she managed to complete this investigation – and to produce a report of a very high standard.

I would have no hesitation in recommending her for investigation work and/or training around a varied range of personnel (HR) issues.”

P. Heeley, Department of Health Complaints and Employment Tribunals Liaison Manager

Personal Coaching/Behavioural Change

'…you really have been a positive influence…I almost feel like a new person and I certainly have a different outlook on life now. I am a lot happier in myself and I look forward to the challenges that each day brings. People have seen me smiling and asked what I am so happy about, I tell them that I'm just making myself feel better...(They just don't know do they!).'

A.B., former pro-footballer

Flirt Coaching

'Thanks for an amazing, informative, fun and mind blowing time. I didn't realise it was going to be this much fun to improve my personal interaction skills.

Well my life is totally changed and still changing since you started working on me. I am so different and confident around women I don't even recognise my self. The world has changed from a desert to a forest of opportunity choice and plenty

Thanks for working with me again. If I haven't told you before....you're good. Very, very good.
