"I have worked with Mike as a senior manager in two organisations, with large operational groups focused on better delivery of regulation and also small groups working on presentation skills. Regardless of the size, focus, and organisation Mike has delivered exactly what was required in a way that has engaged and captivated those involved.  If you believe in the importance of relationships and communication then Mike's sessions will take you and your staff to the next level in all aspects of business and life in general. Alongside imparting a basic understanding of how people tick he provides concrete techniques to create respectful, trusting relationships around difficult regulatory conversations to influence behaviour."

“Mike Catton is the best Training Consultant and Coach that I have ever worked with.  The value that he has contributed to our leadership programmes has been outstanding. His workshops have been engaging and insightful and most importantly everyone has a lot of fun. Mike’s workshops have inspired our people to make positive changes by focusing on unleashing their potential.  Mike has an tremendous ability to bring the best out of people.  Our people have left his workshops feeling confident in their newly acquired skills and the realisation that they will make a difference.   This is evident in the feedback that we have received and from what our leaders have observed in the workplace. Thank you Mike for all the work you have done for us to date, we look forward to our ongoing relationship with you because of the positive impact that you have had on all of us.”

Fleur Evans, Organisational Development Manager, Meridian

“Mike is a Leadership champion who creates an environment of trust, controlled energy and personal connection.  I’ve had the pleasure of participating with two groups from our business and the value received has been greater than all previous Management Leadership training I’ve done. My operations leaders and senior management team were equally impressed.  Mike provides a delightful balance of practical lessons, with referral to great leaders and visionaries and shares his own life lessons and insightful observations. The clarity and simplicity of his explanations of sometimes complex concepts really hits home and his facilitation in open forum discussion is fantastic.  The resources Mike provided are now central parts of my Management tool kit.”

Grant Harford, National Operations Manager, MG Marketing

“Mike has delivered several workshops for us as part of our leadership development programme and to develop our peoples' core skills. He has been an absolute pleasure to work with and has gone the extra mile to ensure he catered to the needs of our people. Mike's workshop design and facilitation style ensured that participants had an enjoyable time and left motivated with the tools required to implement change. If an organisation is looking for a provider who produces results and genuinely cares about the experience of the people they work with, I would recommend they approach Mike. Thanks Mike for what you have done for us to date, we look forward to having you back again.”
