client feedback
We love our clients and partners and it’s great when we get feedback that we’ve made a difference.
“The Open Square team have a refreshing and fun presentation style that made the concepts easy to understand yet powerful in their simplicity. They have been the only trainers I’ve used where I’m still thinking about and discussing the examples they used weeks after the training! I have been able to employ the skills and tips I learnt, with great results.
Stephen was very knowledgeable, professional and clearly passionate about the subject matter. The Open Square team was able to tailor the whole day to our individual business needs and their straightforward, practical suggestions were highly relevant to our business needs. We will definitely be using them again!”
“Stephen was very engaging from the start. He did a great job of offering ideas and affirming understandings from the group. Letting thought processes & discussion exercises run wild for a little bit and then rein back to the point of the topic. The tools & tips shared were both simple and practical. The workshop has encouraged me to give sufficient consideration to not only how I approach leadership but how my approach is likely to be received.”
“Really enjoyed the interactive nature of the sessions and Stephens approach to structuring these. It was refreshing and highly effective with everyone getting involved. I found the format allowed everyone to be a part of the process, discovering the topics and naturally drawing their conclusions. The discussions on subjects brought up in the session continued for weeks after and was reflected in real life changes observed within the teams. This to me was testament to the buy in that Stephen achieved within a short period of time.”
Positive Intelligence
I don't have the same doubts, when coming across situations that had previously impacted me. If you are considering doing the PQ programme, invest yourself stay with the process. It can feel strange at times and that nothing is happening, or embedding, but it is. Highly recommend.
Positive Intelligence
I now understand myself better in terms of identifying saboteurs which hinder my progress. Juliet has all the patience and technical know-how to support you in positive intelligence. My six week programme with her was a huge eye opener! I do not hesitate to recommend her to support anyone who would like to embark on this life changing programme. Highly recommend.
Individual Coaching
Juliet is a calm and thoughtful coach, and her process enabled me to remove emotion and look at my career history objectively, laying out the facts and reframing some of the negative feelings I had. I gained clarity around my plans for the future and felt better equipped to talk confidently about my expertise. I’ve always found Juliet to be an inspiring business leader, and having worked with her I can honestly say that she is one of the most kind, empathic and encouraging people I have the pleasure to know and wouldn’t hesitate in recommending her coaching services to others.
Individual Coaching
``After my first session with Juliet I felt I had hit the jackpot. Juliet is an incredible coach; her energy, approach and knowledge combine to make a fantastic influencer. When I started these sessions, I didn’t know what to expect. From the first session, Juliet put me at ease and made me feel comfortable. Her approach encompassed self-assessment, building on my strengths and helping to identify and overcome my weaknesses. Juliet was able to advise me on how best to move forward with my career goals and the practical steps that I could take to accomplish this. Her sessions were invaluable.``
