The Electoral Commission
Senior Learning and Development Advisor
"Working with Sharpstone Skinner is a bit like
finding the perfect holiday place - I want to share
the experience with everyone but I am also tempted
to keep them a secret so that I can have sole use!
Sharpstone Skinner have worked with us on a range of
projects from large group activities to smaller
workshops for managers. Feedback is always very
positive, with sessions described as "engaging and
motivating", "got us all thinking positively" , "the
trainer was enthusiastic and topic well presented",
"got everyone involved and working together". But I
think more than anything, people come away having
enjoyed the event and, more importantly, having
learnt a lot."

British Red Cross

wonderfully charming I always learn lots with and from
Helena and Caryn. They make me think, laugh and get
results time and time again."

The Scout Association
Head of Fundraising
"Sharpstone Skinner have changed our whole office dynamic.
Rather than concentrating on people's weaknesses,
individuals are pointing out people's strengths. Personally,
I am a lot stronger for it.
There was a time that I was sceptical about "personal
development" or "team away days". However Sharpstone Skinner
have totally turned that view around.
My message to all managers is to take the plunge and see
what happens. Only good will come of it."

The Royal National Institute for Deaf People
Director of Human Resources“Caryn stepped in at
terribly short notice to help us cope with both the
introduction of a new, organisation wide appraisal
system and prepare for an imminent IiP reassessment. She
effortlessly took control of the situation and
painlessly delivered the solution. Added to all of that
she was great fun to work with!”

YouthNet
Chief Executive
"YouthNet has been working with Sharpstone Skinner for
nearly 9 years, so it can’t be all bad! Seriously, we very
much value their professional, friendly, challenging and
supportive approach.
They have worked across the whole organisation, as all staff
have their “Insights” done; a few have had 1-1 coaching and
others training. This has supported our aim to create
emotionally intelligent, motivated, high performing teams."

Energizer Group
Director, Human Resources, Europe
 "Energizer
Europe has been engaged in a change process for the last 2
years driving towards our Vision 2012. Fundamental to the
success to date has been the development of the right
leadership culture and the cohesion of the senior team.
Sharpstone Skinner have been an important part of that
approach, working with a number of teams in the business to
develop team and individual effectiveness. Personally I have
appreciated the way that both Helena and Caryn have worked
with the European Leadership Team to help us address
potentially sensitive issues in a very positive and engaging
way, and have helped a very varied international team become
a much more cohesive unit."
