Executive Solutions have been one of the most flexible and professional companies we have worked with most recently and are a company who are motivated and driven by supporting individuals and companies to succeed and achieve. We asked Executive Solutions to work with us as we did not have the staff capacity to deliver elements of our training programme which they did at very short notice. The comments we received from delegates were nothing less than outstanding including: “The Tutor was brilliant! Today was a big learning curve.” “A really good course and well worth attending”. Executive Solutions are definitely now on our preferred supplier list and our first call.

I have used Executive Solutions for both Life and business coaching and have found it has made a significant positive impact into the way I conduct my life and business. The sessions have helped me identify a number of issues I had both personally and within my business and through the regular sessions I have had with Executive Solutions I can now clearly identify my goals and track progress with great success. The coaching style is very ‘down to earth’, positive and motivating. Since I first used Executive Solutions I have had to face a major personal issue but with their help and support I have worked through it and I now feel I have the confidence to tackle any situation be it personal or business.

I have always been into Sport and like a challenge, I was offered the opportunity to enter a White Collar Boxing Event for Charity linked to my company. Executive Solutions took charge of my preparation regarding attitude and mind set. It was a very challenging period that I now look back on with pride not just the money we raised but the tools they used with me really made the difference. Executive Solutions worked both in the Gym and with me on my life style and negative self talk, after a few sessions I also recognised the link to my work and habits at work fuctioning in a very challenging job. I would recommend Executive Solutions to any individual or group who wish to go the extra mile in their personal or professional development.

I contacted Executive Solutions via their web site, seeking Coaching support in the area of managing change, goal setting, dealing with challenging behaviour and stress management. My experiance has been a positive explosion of development for me and my company. The sessions were very powerful but informal and totally focused on my needs both personally and in business, I now feel more positive, confident to make difficult decisions and keep focus and direction. The motivation element has supported me also to lose 2 stone personally by looking at my life style and habit triggers. I would recommend Executive Solutions to people who are serious about improving both themselves and their business. I do feel my journey has only just started and should have done it years ago, well worth the cost.

I have worked with Executive Solutions for six months and improved both my physical and mental agility in my chosen sport. The learning tools from the sessions have also fitted into my personal life improving my goal setting, motivation and overall well being. I am a more competant competitor now with more confidence in my own ability and less stress at work as a result. I would recommend Executive Solutions to anyone who believes they are better but just need a bit of structure in order to achieve full potential. I have also invested in their Executive Coaching and the benifits to my business are massive, the quality of my employees output has increased, their motivation and being outcome focussed is there for me to see. I will continue to invest in my staff with Executive Solutions throughout 2011 and beyond. Paul Riley MD Accountant

My main aims were to stop negative thoughts, build my confidence and handle a period of change in my worklife, which Dave at Exective Solutions helped me to address through 8 sessions that included lots of talking (Dave is a great listener!) and exercises that I took home to work on through the week. We would then evaluate progress and Dave instinctively knew which areas I needed to work on next. I have walked away with a hole new set of skills that I use on a daily basis, and I'm looking forward to starting the next phase of my development which is going to focus on building my new business. This has all had a positive impact on both my work and home life and I can't thank Executive Solutions enough.

I am currently the Manufacturing Manager for Befesa Salt Slags Ltd., a company specialising in the treatment of by products from the primary and secondary aluminium industries. My role involves the management of the production, maintenance, logistics and technical functions of the business. Befesa is part of the Spanish multinational group of companies, Abengoa which also specialises in bioenergy, solar energy, construction, water de-salination and information technology. Abengoa operates in over 80 countries. Throughout my career I have attended numerous management development courses as well as those which were part of my studies towards my formal qualifications. Whilst each of these has had its value, the benefits I have realised from my time spent with Executive Solutions, outweighs the sum of the others. The particular benefits have been realised by a process of self-evaluation leading to a better and more strategic focus. The style and content of the sessions provided by Executive Solutions have facilitated this. The actions I have implemented, as a direct result of my collaboration with Executive Solutions, have yielded measurable improvements across the business, my own performance and that of those reporting to me. My role is no different than any other management position in that it can be demanding 24/7. On a personal level, the sessions have assisted in developing an improved work / life balance with again, tangible benefits in both areas.

Manufacturing Manager, Befesa Salt Slags Ltd

Befesa started working with Executive Solutions Limited in 2009 and continued durinq 2010 on two specific programmes of staff development, one for a senior member of the management team as executive mentoring and the other, a general programme to build confidence and communication skills of the other members of the management team. The executive mentoring programme has produced excellent results in the individual concerned, with the individual finding the mentoring to be beneflcial both in work and at home. The group days used for the general programme of management development has received excellent feedback from the personnel concerned, describing this programme as the "best we have had", which for the company was very positive for staff motivation and their own personal confidence. In general, I would have no hesitation in recommending Executive Solutions for any level of staff development programmes, including executive mentoring.

“I have attended a few training courses throughout my career, so as I travelled to the Executive Solutions leadership workshop, I thought there was nothing new to learn – how wrong could I be?! The Prison Service changes annually to meet cuts and targets. I had always struggled with change – believing it would just result in more work, less opportunities and less job satisfaction. But Executive Solutions have always been so positive about change and they taught me great techniques to motivate my staff, to help them to develop and get rewards to make change work for them. I have also found a great mentor who I can always rely on. I would recommend Executive Solutions to anyone wishing to take their business or personal skills forward to meet these demanding times.”

“We are working closely with Executive Solutions to develop short- and long-term action plans for both the staff and the organisation as a whole. A Planning Day helped us to share aims and to get our focus back on our future and the development of our services. The day ranged from light-hearted team-building to intense strategic planning, and was unique in that it was tailor-made to us. Some similar companies arrive with their own ideas of how they think we should be working, but at the end of the day, when the Planning Day is over, it is still down to us to manage the future. Executive Solutions were very useful in providing me with challenging but achievable targets which I was confident we could meet as a team, with support from them if we need it.”
