Stu has acted as a facilitator for leadership development programmes for me at both Amazon and Army Recruiting over the past 5 years. His expertise in establishing trust and unlocking potential amongst groups at all levels across ages, geographies and seniority  is simply astounding, and the impact of his delivery has been to materially improve business outcomes at both organisations. I cannot recommend him highly enough

I attended an Inclusive Leadership Programme run by Stuart. Having been involved in leadership development for a number of years, I thought it would be more of the same. How wrong I was. Stuart is an inspiring instructor. His techniques and methods are novel and extremely effective. I came away with a completely different view of my own style of leadership. If you want some genuine development for you or your team, then Stuart is your man.

Stu has written and delivered a number of critical sessions for us at Starbucks in both our London and Amsterdam offices. The value he has added has been significant. His delivery has been excellent, delivering key messages in an impactful and memorable way. The feedback we have received from our teams has been superb. He has a compelling style which really drives people to take action. We couldn’t have asked for a more thought provoking and insightful individual to facilitate a learning programme for our business.

Stuart worked with My Customer Experience Team to deliver an impactful, well structured, relevant and fun behaviour change programme. Stuart got under the skin of the different functions quickly allowing him to connect on a personal and professional level with the whole team. His dynamic and energetic delivery style coupled with a wicked sense of humour ensured that he grabbed and held the attention of everyone in every interaction. Truly grateful for everything 

Stuart did.
