“Leadership Development: Sally is challenging and insightful. When working with individuals or groups she is able to create a relationship where leaders are able to hold up a mirror and work with their potential and limitations. Sally has been instrumental in supporting our talent strategy of ‘growing our own’.

Engaging Managers: Through her masterful ability as a coach, Sally has influenced our managers to facilitate and empower rather than control or restrict their people; to treat their people with appreciation and respect and show commitment to developing and rewarding the capabilities of those they manage. This has been a key enabler in the engagement of our employees.

Voice: Sally has been a role model in enabling an effective and empowered employee voice in our organisation – where our employees’ views are sought out; they are listened to and see that their opinions count and make a difference. Sally has helped our leaders develop a strong sense of listening and responsiveness.”

Her gift is then making sure that the team have the skills and desire to go far beyond what they thought was possible.  Sally has had a profound effect on the careers and abilities of many colleagues.”

“Whitbread’s approach to refreshing our values was to ‘give our people a good listening to’. We wanted to hear what really resonated with our team members.  The challenge was to plan working groups which would provide us with rich feedback and give our participants an inspiring, interactive experience. Of course, we had to squeeze these working groups into the shortest time period too. Transcape delivered the exact planning, execution and interpretation we needed to achieve our objectives.”

“The immediate effect of the ‘effective feedback’ training was it raised colleagues confidence in their own abilities to give feedback in difficult situations because they had practised this during the course.

From a management perspective, the models shared on training were very effective when mentoring new staff. This was because they gave a shared framework to refer to in discussions and develop skills further.”

“I genuinely believe that the experience of Leadership & Learning has really helped me in landing my new role. Sally’s comments to me during our last session really got me thinking and had me challenging myself as to whether I had enough faith in my own abilities to push myself as hard as I could in my career and take myself outside of any self imposed comfort zones. The result of that thinking was the confidence to throw my hat into the ring for this role and the self belief to see me through a four stage interview process to land it.”

“HRS has been working with Sally over the past 12 months in a number of areas including the development of our company values/behaviours and leadership development.  Sally brings a huge amount of knowledge and experience from many different business environments and is great at translating theory into really practical programmes.  I’ve found Sally keen to get under the skin of the business and really understand the needs of individuals she’s working with.  The work we’ve done with Sally has particularly proven invaluable to the development and effectiveness of our line management team.  I would highly recommend Sally to any forward-thinking, people-focused business.”
