Presentation Skills – Chartered Surveyor

“I would like to thank you for the presentation training you provided for Bruntwood.

I was keen to undertake some training on presentation skills as this forms part of a final assessment to become a Chartered Surveyor. I found the techniques on controlling nerves and setting out the stages of a great presentations extremely beneficial.

I managed to present my case study perfectly, bang on the 10 minute requirement, setting off my interview to a great start and giving me great confidence in the follow up questions. 

Having attended the training I passed my Chartered Surveyor exam at the first attempt!  Thanks Mike. I would highly recommend you”

Public Speaking Skills

“I have known Mike for a number of years and I knew that I didn’t need to look around for alternatives, when I recently made the decision that we needed some help. I thought my presentation skills were alright and I considered that I was getting by ok, but I know we can always improve.

Mike carried out a full day of training with two of my colleagues and me, and I have to say I came out of that session feeling that I had gained an awful lot.

I had a presentation to do that same weekend and I did what he said, rehearsed it fifteen times (I was sick of the sound of my own voice!) tweaked a few things that Mike had mentioned, and on the day, even though I say it myself, it was a hundred times better than anything I’ve ever delivered before. Absolutely recommend Mike and his team, without hesitation. “

Development Support Case Study

“After a rather challenging set of Employee Satisfaction Survey results last year, Sarah & Mike of Potential Unearthed offered to help us get our business and our people back on track and actively engaged again with our business and our ambitions.

After spending time in our working environment and chatting to individuals at all levels to ensure they really understood what we are about and to ensure input/buy-in to the project, Potential Unearthed created a comprehensive 12 month ‘Team Development Action Plan’ which identified immediate quick wins, short, medium and longer term goals for LSP and Potential Unearthed to work on together.

This included a range of development interventions, starting at the top with Executive One to One Coaching for me as the CEO and for each member of our Senior Leadership Team, which proved to be instrumental in helping us to focus on the work that lay ahead.

Further assistance included –

• Help with the roll out of re-defining roles and responsibilities to ensure clarity at all levels
• Facilitation of an in-depth ‘Meeting Tree’ analysis which reviewed all communications across the business with a view to defining and improving them
• The roll out of a modular Management Development training programme which focussed on key areas identified for improvement, including culture & behaviours, workplace communications and consistent performance management.
• A whole business ‘Team Day’ which focussed on culture, behaviours and communication.

At key stages throughout the project, Mike and Sarah maintained regular contact with us to help us embed the positive changes that we were visibly making and to ensure that we knew how to sustain the new behaviours we were seeing across the business. They challenged us to stick to our goals and I’m extremely happy to say that their support and guidance to date has been invaluable to us in helping us to achieve what we set out to do.

A year on and with our development journey well underway, our latest Employee Satisfaction Survey has seen vast and tangible improvements on last year’s results. These results are not just evident on paper but in the significant positive shift that we’ve seen in the business and most importantly, in our people and a much healthier and happier working atmosphere.

Both Sarah and Mike have a clear passion for what they do and their enthusiasm, knowledge and experience in their field have without doubt contributed significantly to helping us achieve our goals.

We still have some way to go and are currently busy setting our year two goals with Potential Unearthed, but I’m more confident than ever that we will continue to build on the hard work everyone’s put in to date. I would certainly and without hesitation, recommend the team at Potential Unearthed. With grateful thanks for a successful partnership!”

Delivering Outstanding Customer Service

“I really enjoyed the course I attended. I’ve spoken with many of my colleagues, I’d say the feedback has been excellent. 

The Customer Services training really helped identify how our own behaviours and perceptions can affect how we are viewed by both internal and external Customers.

Mike was exceptionally knowledgeable and got the balance of interaction, discussion and tuition just right.

It’s been great working with you and we would be happy to recommend Potential Unearthed to our Suppliers, Customers and Stakeholders.”
