Testimonials

“Carol has designed and implemented bespoke sales training programs that have directly met our needs. Her personal and professional approach to our business has been appreciated and welcomed with very positive feed back from the team who have attended courses or had personal coaching. I have no hesitation in recommending Carol to anyone who is looking to develop the skill sets of their sales team.”

 

David Harrison, Commercial Director Schenker UK

 

“When Carol Goodsman’s training was recommended to me, I decided to book sales and management training for my staff in our branches across Ireland. The programme was extremely successful and so we continued training across our Scottish and English branches too. The feedback from staff has been very enthusiastic and the results have been excellent. I have also personally used Carol’s coaching services and found her techniques and the NLP she uses very useful.

 

Alan Marnie, Managing Director, Steinhoff Retail Furniture Division

"I was initially unsure as to whether I actually needed a business coach and could justify the expenditure. Two years on, the coaching sessions have easily paid for themselves and Carol now plays a vital role in the development of my business.

Most of all, Carol's use of the personality testing has taught me a lot about myself; my strengths, my weaknesses and how to get the best from me. All of the plans we create together are tailored to my preferred way of doing things, which makes them happen effectively. I have no hesitation in highly recommending Carol's business coaching."

"The Image and Impact course for Kent & Medway Connexions Trainee School received an impressive 100% 'Excellent' feedback from all attendees.

Participants were given the opportunity to examine the importance of their own personal impact, learning crucial strategies to increase their professional presence, create a powerful first impression and gain exceptional rapport. Carol's expert knowledge and engaging delivery captured the imagination of the group many of whom are still talking about it long after the course ended.

This is a powerful course with outstanding outcomes. Carol's passion is infectious and I wholeheartedly recommend this course to you if you want to invest in the personal and professional impact of your workforce"

"Carol has developed training initiatives for myself in my current role that are of the highest quality. I have found Carol to be highly professional at all times in her relationship with myself and the business I represent. Carol's ability to combine her different areas of expertise to provide a unique training proposal makes her a great contact for myself as a Training Manager. I would have no hesitation in recommending Carol's work to other HR professionals."

 

Nicola Hester, Employee Development Manager, McArthur Glen Group

"Carol has been a business consultant for our company for several years now. I have always found her to be highly professional, very personable and of the utmost integrity. I always enjoy liaising with Carol and value her ability to find creative and alternative solutions to challenges. Carol's presentation to our Helen O'Grady Drama Academy franchisees and teachers was exceptionally well received, motivating and inspirational. Her awareness of the needs of the group and her approach to tackling important issues was first class. I would have no hesitation in recommending Carol as a guest speaker on a wide variety of topics."

 

Nigel le Page, National Director, Helen O'Grady Drama Academy

"The course opened up a whole new area of thought for me with the NLP techniques that were taught. I also feel I have a greater understanding of the people and personalities involved now."

Stephen O'Donnell, Head of STV (Scotish Television)

"Carol oozes integrity, both in her manner and her attention to every detail of her work and personal presentation. Carol has a calmness and poise, and a genuine interest in the people she is working with; she lives her work."

 

Philip Cox-Hynd, Portfolio Director, Thames Valley Innovation and Growth

"Over the last 3 years I have had several training sessions with Carol both in a group setting and on a one to one basis. I would not hesitate in recommending Carol to any organisation - I feel that I have had excellent value from all training undertaken as well as having significantly improved & developed my management, presentation and selling skills. My observation is that Carol is refreshingly enthusiastic and passionate about her work and this without doubt "rubs off" on anyone she trains."

 

Jamie Allardice, Schenker Logistics

Carol has a natural gift for public speaking and she is probably one of the few people that manages to hold everyone's attention, even at the end of a long day.

Jill Cross, Schenker Sales and Management Conference 2011

Carol is a very personable, knowledgeable trainer who made a great impact…… particularly so with her session on visual impact which was much enjoyed by everyone."

 

Dom Moorhouse, Founder, Moorhouse Consulting

Thank you for such a great day. The trainees are still emailing me to say how much they enjoyed it. I know they said so on the day, but they really did have a fantastic time. Thank you for making it so relaxed and friendly as I know a couple of the participants felt a little apprehensive initially, but you really put them at ease. I really enjoyed the day too, it was a real inspiration to watch you work.

 

Alison Monkhouse, Connexions

"I am pleased to say that I have set aside all worries and I am again relishing my job. My sales figures are starting to pick up nicely and most importantly I am really enjoying myself again.
I feel that your help was invaluable to me and I would like to thank you very much for your excellent advice."
