What Our Clients Say
Really excellent workshop. It was very well structured and helped me to understand the importance of preparation and the value of practice for future presentations. I feel I will be more much confident in my speaking ability into the future. This was the best training I have received in my professional career
Over the past two years I have brought Performance Nerds into the business to work with my management team in developing their communication and presentation skills. I have found their training approach to be very engaging and fun, whilst delivering great results. The team have really developed their skills on the back of the work done with Performance Nerds and we look forward to partnering with them again in the future
John and Brian came to our site to deliver The Speaker Incubator Level 1 course which taught our Supervisor’s to deliver their message in a confident and clear manner. This course has made a huge difference on the way the Supervisors deliver their tool box talk to their team. They now deliver it with more confidence as they have less nerves and can communicate with posture and poise. As a reult each of their team is fully engaged and can remember the important message that is communicated. The next step is to get John and Brian back to do the Level 2 course with the Management team!
Performance Nerds approach creates a progressive balance between coaching, mentoring, informing and challenging that has helped me, and my team, create the right relationships (allowing us to move key strategic initiatives forward in a much more comprehensive and effective manner), helped us with our own development as a team and how we work and communicate together and has helped me personally grow my leadership capability, credibility and results.
We have worked closely with Performance Nerds for several years during which they have provided an excellent range of management development and coaching programmes for our team. Brian and John are professional and skilled operators who quickly honed in on our company’s culture and specific needs at individual and team level. Their approach is highly effective and they challenge everyone to become better managers. As the CEO I find working with them hugely beneficial, they have added real value to the company and our capabilities, helping us grow and mature as a team. At individual level I frequently receive good feedback and praise from the people they are training and coaching. Highly recommended.
The Performance Nerds delivered exactly what they promised us as a Management Team partaking in the course – no heavy theory, challenging yourself, digging deep and looking into what you want and what values you possess, what drives you not only as a manager but as a person.
From the beginning it was clear that this course is unlike any other I’ve taken part in. The Performance Nerds create a supportive environment where you are encouraged to speak up and to think about what it is that you really want to say. The passion that these two men possess for what they do is obvious as soon as you meet them. At all times I felt they were completely engaged and wanted the absolute best for everyone on the course and genuinely cared. On a professional but also on a personal note this course will stay with me forever and it did change how I look at my work and personal life.
