For many years I have done very little to actively seek recommendations or positive feedback from clients.\u00a0 My belief was that my clients are all too busy to appreciate being asked to write about the joys of working with me.\u00a0 I have happy clients.\u00a0 None have asked for their money back (although most of my work carries that guarantee).\u00a0 So asking for references was never a priority.<\/p>\n
However, social networking sites made it easy for me to ask for references.\u00a0 It gave me a gentle nudge and prompted me to try something new.\u00a0 The results were great.\u00a0 I now have some fantastic new client references and reading between the lines I can also see patterns emerging in what clients really liked about working with me – and some areas where I need to to more work.\u00a0 Doing something different has helped me to make progress.<\/p>\n
It was easy for me to try something new and see if it worked.\u00a0 And that is what I try to do with my management training.\u00a0 Make it easy for managers to try something new – and find out that it works.<\/p>\n
Indeed it is always a joy to hear of a manager who has worked hard at putting my training into practice and is now enjoying the benefits.<\/p>\n
I\u00a0 am so delighted to give an endorsement for Mike. He is an enormously gifted and wise man who shares his knowledge and experiences freely. He has the ability to challenge gently and help you to examine ideas and thoughts clearly and objectively. If you have the chance of being mentored by Mike jump at it.<\/p>\n
