Julia’s expertise combined with her natural, personable style has enabled groups to feel comfortable and to truly reflect on their experiences with the right level of support and challenge. Julia has supported us during a period of transformation by being a gentle catalyst for change.”
Deputy Operations Director NIHR
“I have just been appointed Strategic Director. I want you to know that much of the confidence and ability that I have is down to the work that I did with you. So I thank you for that.”
Strategic Director of a Local Authority
“In order to meet new challenges and plan for growth it meant the introduction of change to all employees. Without their “buy in” our future growth plans would be harder to achieve in the timescales allotted. It is also fair to say staff in general are change adverse and my staff were no exception. Julia is a consummate professional. Her preparation and delivery were frankly outstanding. By the end of the session the staff had completely gone through 180º. This exceeded my best expectations. As a consequence, I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Julia and The Learning Quest.”
Managing Director IDS Media
“Recently I attended a Mentor Skills Development Workshop where the content, the materials and the facilitation was done by Julia. Julia’s expressive style, her enthusiasm and her rich experience made the content relevant and the workshop was professional, high value against the time commitment and fun. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Julia and The Learning Quest.”
