"Business goes where it is needed and stays where it is welcome." - Anon
This is a special part of my site, somewhat self indulgent, and something I am very appreciative of; however when people generously take the time to create a testimonial, I want to share them so that you can see for yourself what people have said about me and how useful they have found my training. Indulge this humble training consultant sharing some of these with you.

General Advocacy for SerialTrainer7
Simon is a fantastic trainer. His enthusiasm, subject knowledge and passion for training has inspired our delegates and create a supportive yet challenging environment for our course. Feedback from delegates has been sensational. They especially welcomed the personal mentoring that he provides individually to delegates between events and this really sets him apart from other trainers, across all four of the soft skills courses we ran this year. We will be working with Simon again in future.David Wright Director General at United Kingdom Lubricants Association (UKLA) Ltd
Thank you for such a great training session. You shared some great presentation skills tips and it was great to put theory into practice with the presentation karaoke, which is a great idea.Lynette Saunders Senior Analyst. Econsultancy
Simon has ninja-like training skills. He was among the most professional and dedicated people I worked with. He is one of the good guys.Simon Tapscott Founder/MD. Do Good Things
Simon’s reputation has always been that of being an outstanding trainer who really has a long-term impact on those he delivers training to. This obviously was always going to be more challenging due to Covid-19 restrictions and not being able to meet teams face to face. Simon from the start realised that he would not be able to deliver a training course to the team in the same way via Zoom. He understood that you can’t keep a team of people engaged for 7 hours via Zoom. It just would not have the same impact as face the face training. He therefore completely adapted his approach using shorter group sessions and discussions and also doing longer one to one follow up meetings. The team loved it! They were completely engaged and found his approach both warm and engaging. I could not recommend Simon highly enough. You definitely do not need to wait to have training return to being all in the same room, Simon’s skill and ability to adapt to the changing work environment is truly inspirational.Ingrid Maher Roberts Human Resources Manager, Dialect Inc
Sales Training Testimonials for SerialTrainer7
Having recently completed my first set of training sessions with Simon across the last few months, I can say with hand on heart that it has not only enriched my sales techniques but given me unparalleled confidence in my new position at MediaClash. Simon has given the team a broad understanding of sales; from negotiation to presentation skills. Although admittedly quite a daunting prospect having to put these skills into practice, they have naturally been filtering through into my every day work. Simon has an approach to presentation like no other; there are no tedious powerpoint presentations, his seminars/workshops are interactive and compelling. So much so that I have definitely been exhausted by the end of each day! Thank you for your valuable help at the initial stages of my career in media sales for Bath Life magazine. I look forward to working with you again in near future.Polly Jackson Account Manager at MediaClash
Had the absolute pleasure of being on ones of Simon's training courses here at ComputerWorld. Spread across 3 days covering various topics, he kept us all laughing and engaged throughout! There wasn't a single PowerPoint slide in sight which was fantastic! Never thought I'd see the day in which I actually looked forward to a training course. All the topics we covered were extremely valuable and I almost immediately started to apply them to my day to day work. Highly recommend his services to anyone who is looking to improve their sales skills.Alysha Moore Account Manager at Computerworld Group
Simon’s program was one of the most professional and valuable to date. The training is not only valuable, it is proven to work and has helped me close more sales.Tad Perez Advertising Manager. Future US

Personal Development & Coaching Testimonials for SerialTrainer7
Working with Simon over this past year has been such an important part of my development as a Director. As a coach, Simon has been a great support in my step up to board level. We discuss strategic decision making, frameworks and business models, as well as people management and internal communications. Despite my years of experience in marketing, Simon still finds gems of knowledge to bring fresh approaches to business marketing that we can adopt internally. I find his style of coaching on personal development very bespoke and extremely valuable. We have very open and honest discussions and this has only allowed me to really grow as a Director. I value his opinion and his support. I would recommend Simon in a heart beat for strategic coaching, sales coaching, management training and personal development of soft skills to all company roles from senior to junior roles.Laura Driffield CMO at Rocksteady Music School

I have recently completed the seven-part "Wainwright Management Academy" training with Simon, and feel compelled to say what a fantastic trainer Simon is! Having been on very many training courses over very many years, I found Simon's approach to be informative, entertaining, tailored and compelling. And he's a thoroughly nice bloke too!Steve Urch Senior Estimator at Aggregate Industries UK
I have attended four different training sessions hosted by Simon. Each and everyone of them were insightful and practical. The activities and discussions during the training were interesting and definitely helped me understand each subject matter better. I not only learnt a lot about the subject but about myself too. I highly recommend Simon for management and sales training.Pin-Ju Chiang Network Director, Network N
