“I would recommend this course to anyone”

“The content of the Train the Trainer course and the knowledge Mike has as a trainer, is just amazing. I started the course with very little confidence, but little by little, being trained on how to deal with the “shouty one” or the “quiet one”, and learning different techniques on how to take the attention from me was just brilliant – it gave me lots more confidence, especially for the last day.

The thought of delivering a training course, does still leave me feeling a little nervous, however, the tools and tips that I have been given from you, are just going to make the whole experience less frightening and hopefully, more enjoyable.

Thank you so much for giving me the confidence to stand up (or sit), in front of a group of people, put them at ease and deliver a “fun” training course.

I would honestly recommend this course to anyone!”

“I personally found the programme enjoyable and engaging. It has made me more confident in my ability to make informed decisions and I have received a promotion linked to my new leadership and management style.

I would definitely recommend the programme due to the way it was delivered. Mike made each day fun to attend.  I would also like to thank you both for your in-depth programme information and materials and in particular your patience when giving assignment feedback.

If ever the CCG wanted to fund any other programme that you both delivered then I would highly recommend to colleagues and gladly attend.”

“A great business, run by great people”

“Kukri recruited the services of Potential Unearthed to deliver their Leadership Development Programme to a small group of Kukri Head Office staff.

The programme was designed by Mike to help those looking at taking steps into management and leadership. Mike provided a fun and engaging delivery of the programme and the feedback from all staff involved was extremely positive with each session eagerly anticipated.

Mike’s talent lies very much in his ability to train people without realising they’re in a training session!!  I would highly recommend Potential Unearthed – great business run by great people!!

“Training hits exactly right spot”

“Mike and Sarah from Potential Unearthed are a real pleasure to do business with. From conception of an idea to delivery of the training  Mike and Sarah offer great guidance and support. They go above and beyond your normal run of the mill training provider to really understand your business and ensure the training hits exactly the right spot.

The delivery is always highly engaging, fun and despite many years in the industry I never fail to take something away from one of their sessions”

Train the Trainer programme feedback

“We’ve used Mike and his team at Potential Unearthed on a number of occasions.  Mike recently delivered a number of ‘Train the Trainer’ programmes for us. 

Some of the team had never trained before and Mike made them all feel at ease.  He worked with them closely and they all delivered brilliant training sessions on the final day.

All of those who attended found the sessions fun, relaxed yet challenging at the same time.  Big thanks Mike.  I would highly recommend Mike and his team to any business who are looking to develop their people”

“Significant skills & confidence increase”

“I’ve known Mike for a few years now, so when I identified a skills gap in our management team I had no hesitation in getting in touch with Potential Unearthed.  Mike took time to visit our office so that he could get a feel for the culture and then designed a fantastic bespoke leadership programme which ticked all of the boxes for us. 

The tailored programme he designed and delivered for us was engaging, fun and challenging.  All of our managers who attended really benefited from the programme and they all gained so much from it personally.

The results of the post course evaluation conducted by Mike and Sarah showed a significant increase in confidence levels in relation to areas including managing change, communication skills, assertiveness and managing conflict – all key skills which will really help to drive our business forward in the coming weeks and months. 

I would have no hesitation in recommending the team at Potential Unearthed to others and I look forward to working with Mike again in the near future. Many thanks.”

“Their style is engaging, challenging and fun”

“We’ve built a solid working relationship with the team at Potential Unearthed, with whom we’ve worked for over 7 years. Potential Unearthed always take time to understand the challenges that our organisation faces and always take great care in establishing our specific development needs, before creating bespoke courses and programmes that are completely relevant to us.  Their delivery style is engaging and challenging, with a balance of fun to really engage with our people.

Feedback that we receive internally from attendees indicates that they create a safe and relaxed environment for learning, where employees feel comfortable sharing their experiences. On this basis, I would have no hesitation with recommending Potential Unearthed as a credible and reliable Training Provider.”

Communicating with Impact

“When managing a field based team it’s always important for me to ensure the training is relevant, concise and engaged as we don’t get together that often. Mike at Potential Unearthed always delivers his training in a humorous but very engaging manner which is always well received by all my team.

Since the ‘Communicating with Impact’ session the team have returned to their stores enthused, confident and effective. Long may it continue! I would have no hesitation in recommending Mike for future training sessions.”

ILM – Leadership & Management

“Over the past few years we have used Potential Unearthed to deliver a number of Management and Leadership programmes.  Recently we have used PU to deliver an ILM accredited qualification aimed at a number of our Practice Managers and the feedback to date has been truly excellent. 

Mike and Sarah have made everyone feel at ease on what can be a daunting programme for some people due to some of them not having completed assignments for many years, if ever at all.  Mike and Sarah have worked tirelessly in designing a programme that is fun, engaging but most of all bespoke and entirely relevant to us. 

If you are wanting to work with a provider that doesn’t do ‘off the shelf’, one that designs fantastic courses and one that delivers outstanding customer service, then look no further than Potential Unearthed – Highly recommended.”
