What they had to say about us:

Employability Skills / Materials Development / ILM Team Leader Programme

'As their name suggests, Training with Purpose has a moral purpose that allows them to give honest and frank feedback to individuals and organisations which is unusual in the complex political environment that is today's workplace. However, Jacqueline's inspirational and motivational style means that people can use the feedback to its best effect, improving their personal performance and adding value to their organisations. I do and would recommend Jacqueline without hesitation.

'I have worked with Jacqueline both as an individual and on behalf of private and public sector organisations for more than ten years. Jacqueline's unique approach to personal development allows individuals - no matter their age, background or experience - to embrace the changes they require to move them to a place where they can take charge, feel empowered and refreshed.'

Assertiveness Training

'I feel I am aware of how to be assertive, but need to put positive steps into action. Jacqui was very effective the way she managed the session'

'She helped us to see that we already have the skills; it's just how to use it correctly. I think our managers should come on this course'

Team Development

'The programme provided the opportunity for us to work together. It made us recognise ourselves as a team and get to know each other, get on better and become more tolerant of each other'

'The programme made us focus on what was important and what needed to be done'

'Jacqueline was excellent in communicating with the group and allowed us all to share our opinions'

Client: Gosport Borough Council   Programme: Team Development / Equal Opportunities


What they had to say about us:

Team Development

'As part of the lead into the opening of the new Gosport Resource Centre, Training with Purpose facilitated a teambuilding day. The aim of the day was to promote team working and to establish a shared vision and action plan for the Gosport Resource Centre. By the end of the day the participants (tenants, leaseholders, councillors and staff from Gosport Borough Council) became closer as a team, identified barriers and good practice for continued success, discussed the benefits and concerns about working in a new environment, developed a shared vision and produced both personal and group action plans for achieving the vision of the Resource Centre. The team really came together and worked hard to achieve the aims of the day - Jacqueline motivated us with a mixture of professionalism, enthusiasm and humour.'

'Jacqueline Peart from Training with Purpose was truly inspirational'

Equal Opportunities

'Gosport Borough Council has used Training with Purpose on a number of occasions, most notably for Equal Opportunities training. The sessions have always been informative, entertaining and well received. The service they provide is excellent, and we would not hesitate to use them again.'

What they had to say about us:

Team Development Away Day

Joanna, an Associate Consultant for Training with Purpose was able to decipher what people were saying and make it into positive understandable points.  The team spoke openly about their feelings, which enabled me to understand their perspective.

She was clear, enthusiastic, very professional and witty.

Joanna's personality fitted well with what needed to be achieved with great skill, good choice of exercises and material.

Her input gave very clear objectives and enabled the team to move forward in a constructive manner and Joanna has given me some new tools for managing the team.

Good to be open and honest and nice to be able to voice my ideas and to see them included in the action plan.

What they had to say about us:

Team Development Away Day

An excellent day, we arrived as 2 teams and left as 1.  An inspirational workshop.  Thank you.

I thoroughly enjoyed the day.  I feel that the training received was very rewarding.

We needed to refocus and re-energise. Jacqueline helped us achieve this with an intensive day focussing on ourselves, the team and our objectives for the future all wrapped up and delivered in her inimitable style!

The Team Building Day facilitated by Jacqueline was extremely motivational and I have come away feeling clear about my role within the team. I have also learnt a lot about the different ways in which people work within a team and this will help me to be more tolerant towards other team members. Thank you Jacqueline for a fun and invigorating day.

This training really did identify and address the specific issues of the group in a uniquely direct and practical way. Jacqueline's bold enthusiasm and disarming humour promoted very open discussion, which was expertly guided to produce tangible results by the end of the day.  By keeping the content directly relevant to the events unfolding, Jacqueline engaged every member of the team from start to finish.  Amazingly effective for a one day course and with an ongoing action plan to ensure that nothing is lost, brilliantly engineered and highly beneficial.
