I have been working with Michelle regularly for five years. We have worked together on a talent programme, which helps front line employees in junior grades achieve their career goals and aspirations. The results may be tangible results like a promotion or intangible outcomes such as increased confidence and self-awareness.
Michelle is my ‘trainer of choice’, and I enjoy working with her for various reasons. Michelle is knowledgeable and will listen to the customer to understand the requirements of any training provided. She can also recognise and suggest other training elements to enhance the original request. Michelle is authentic, professional, and credible, with an aptitude for getting the task done quickly and expertly. I enjoy working with Michelle because I know the outcome of any training provided by her will be impactful and resonate with my delegates. Her work and ethics cannot be criticised as they are exemplary, and with Michelle on board, you can be assured you will be receiving quality service.
I would describe Michelle’s work as meticulous, encompassing, immersive and proactive. Michelle can identify where different techniques are needed to achieve the required results. Michelle has worked with HMRC for several years, and it is always a pleasure to have her support on the development programme. My delegates have benefited from her insights and comparison from private organisations and comparing with HMRC. This ability to draw comparisons allows the delegates to understand the illustration and practice the topic being taught. As a result of her interventions, delegates have utilised the skills and training shared to help them improve communication skills and understand bias training, leading to improved relationships in the workplace and in many cases, promotion.
I would recommend Michelle for all the above reasons, mainly because Michelle will deliver what you ask and more.
An excellent service from an exemplar individual, Michelle, will genuinely enhance any learning event.

Michelle’s knowledge, leadership and creativity has been an invaluable resource in our collaborations, an example of this can be seen in the recent delivery of a talent development programme, taking on the role as spokesperson to get to know better the needs of the client and as such aided in the delivery of a bespoke programme.
As one of the programme leads, Michelle, provided insight, challenge and support for the respective candidates and demonstrated what it meant to be an exemplar in the field through the way she engaged with her cohort.
