targeting better communications in partnership
Our clients know the value of smart thinking, brilliant business writing and strategic diplomacy…
“The session was inspirational, exciting and wholly interactive. The feedback we received from the 60 attendees was literally 100% positive - 10/10 from every feedback form we collected.”
“I was worried I wasn’t going to get a lot out of it but it was excellent. Really engaging and inspiring. And usually I’m the cynical one in the room! It was great to be treated as someone who had knowledge and potential – you saw that and used it thoughtfully.”
“Our sessions with Julie were outcome focused, creative and challenging - an invaluable opportunity to look at what was most important for each of us. As a result, I have seen real changes in myself and my team.”
“Much more than conventional corporate communication skills, our training sessions are definitely not steeped in jargon and pie charts. Instead, they are dynamic, exciting and actually useful, enabling participants to build on their strengths. My team spent two days with Julie doing an intensive workshop programme. During that time, she transformed my team of ‘shrinking violets’ into confident public speakers.”
“Loved the fact it felt like the participants powered the agenda... The best personal development session I can ever remember having. Brilliant, a real masterclass.”
“I had little experience in this area, but all delegates found it to be top rate! We had difficulty getting a place since it was over subscribed each time it was offered. Julie Wales is extremely effective, having excellent communication skills and efficiently targeting the needs of the delegates. All delegates, even those who were already working at a high level, felt fulfilled at the end of the two days as Julie addressed all our training worries (amazingly). I certainly feel totally equipped!”
“Your creative business writing advice was excellent. We came back to our work with fresh ideas and renewed enthusiasm to engage our customers with copy that really speaks to them.”
“A thoroughly professional and inspiring trainer of a range of business skills. She is very strong in the areas of presentation skills, writing skills and thinking outside the box. She has considerable experience as a professional coach and it shows in all she does. Julie also has an engaging personality which helps make her an excellent communicator.”
“Julie is an inspiring teacher. She imparted skills and knowledge in such a fun and subtle way that for most of the time we didn’t even realise we were learning. She is creative, approachable, entertaining and thoughtful.”
“I am finding tips shared crucial to my work. Julie and her team always go the extra mile and our sessions never just end after our training day. They have the passion as well as the knowledge to help you develop. ”
“Julie’s great gift has been her ability to inspire us to think more deeply and holistically about what we are doing – and when, where and how we could challenge dull conventions in ways that are both politically sensitive and make a real impact.”
“Thank you! Everyone commented that they genuinely enjoyed working with you. In terms of their strategic leadership skills, we immediately set to building on some of our useful takeaways and are now enjoying getting our teeth into applying all we explored.”
“Our coaches and trainers always come highly recommended, always armed with the knowledge, skills and insight of savvy media insiders. In Julie and her team’s case, they are also super experienced and engaging facilitators. They offer hands-on and seriously useful workshops and feedback is always great. And if our clients are happy, then so are we. ”
“Julie takes the time to understand her customers extremely well. This enables the delivery of tailored and professional sessions. Each member of the Vodafone team that undertook this training session has taken at least one new skill forward in their current role. My personal approach to my current role has changed completely for the better.”
“I spent a week with Julie on a Train the Trainer course and was very impressed by her ability to communicate knowledge creatively. Her approach is to tailor learning to the personality and needs of the trainee; not only a highly effective, but also very pleasant way of working. I highly recommend her.”
“Julie was able to identify my strengths with ease and clarity - something I struggled to recognise prior to our first session together. I use the practical tips we shared on a regular basis, whether for presentations, interviews or work-based conversations. Julie is an incredibly inspiring and engaging coach who brings warmth to every session.”
“I very much enjoyed the day… I’ve found myself using a few techniques this week already. It was a great day and I learnt a lot of useful tips. You were a great inspiration! There are already three people on the team who are very keen to attend the next negotiation training – good use of negotiation/selling don’t you think?”
