• 81% said they were handling problems better

“I was very impressed by the way Cathy Lasher responded swiftly and imaginatively to our specifications and impressed by Cathy’s skill and sensitivity. I think she is ideally suited to working with senior civil servants and imagine she would good at working with a wider range of people as well. She commanded respect by her professional competence, encouraged positive interaction by her warmth, sensitivity and determination and elicited responses by a whole variety of means, many of which are too subtle for me to describe.” Amanda Finlay, Director, Legal Aid Strategy, Ministry of Justice

“This is really a ‘can do’ course. Cathy directed the course and kept it on track, avoiding all digressions when they became unhelpful. She also had a very intuitive assessment of candidates which was very helpful.”

Douglas Brown, Manager, NHS Trust

“I loved your professionalism and your skill; the fact that you brought the whole of yourself, including the fun aspect. I enjoyed watching you draw everyone out, thus affirming them and allowing them to develop their own skills and personal style.”

Petra Kerridge, counsellor in the public sector
