"The results of the programme more than met my expectations.

GKP achieved a very precise match between our issue, their diagnosis, and the intervention's design.

They materially increased general levels of positivity and engagement, and got people to take ownership of the need for leadership and solutions rather than holding others responsible".

Chris Davis, Managing Director, Trelleborg Automotive

"Quite simply GKP's training is the best thing that's happened to us".

Lionel Poisson, R&D General Manager & Director, NEC Technology

"GKP has made enormous impact on our culture, and the attitude, creativeness and innovation of our people.

I highly recommend them for the excellence of their personal development, and the long-lasting change they produce".

Chris Gillespie, Group Director, HFC Bank

"The course was very thought provoking and opened our minds to new concepts. Each member of the team was able to identify opportunities to fulfil both personal and professional goals."

"As a group it gave us the opportunity to get together and consider the business as it is now, how we would like it to be and how through positive action and by viewing events in a different light we can begin to change the culture of the business.
This course can, with an open mind, be a life changing experience."

Senior Manager – Zurich Municipal

"...whilst I was sceptical beforehand it turned out to be the most useful training course I have ever attended. By applying simple practical tools and techniques I am now able to think positively in all situations and although we are all constantly bombarded with negativity, I do not feel affected by it as I know how to remain in control and positive.

"As a result I feel less pressurised and more confident, it has improved both my business and personal life."

Antony Dickson, Sales Manager, Canon Business Solutions

"Having been requested to attend a three-day training course my general feelings before arriving were; here we go again, more motivational training that will go in one ear and out of the other.

I feel that I need to now put on record exactly what I gained from this programme.

I left the course feeling extremely positive, enthused and knowing more about myself than ever before. The course has enabled me to set short and long term goals which I know I will achieve and taught me various techniques of visualisation, motivation and performance.

From the very first day after the course I felt an instant change in both my work and home life. An air of renewal, confidence and positiveness ran through my whole life. I knew that with all my newly acquired skills and drive my team would achieve, develop and grow.

Most of the people working within the Leeds Business Unit were new to both Canon and solution selling. As such, areas like team spirit and Integrations required real work.

Two weeks later my sales people attended a half-day course with Graham who were both excited and intrigued to see what it was all about.

What an instant enlightenment for both them and me!

I have a team now. Fantastic team spirit, a positive "can-do" attitude, and people who believe in themselves. We have put into practise many of the skills especially visualisation and self-talk, and we are all constantly "Reframing" for each other and ourselves. Although it is difficult to assess a direct correlation between the actual course and an increase in business levels I have seen a 10% growth in both sales revenue and profit since my team attended New Impetus.

On a personal level, my life has meaning and goals, which I will achieve and together there is nothing that I cannot do, except (perhaps) play for Liverpool FC!

As a direct result, I am able to deal with the stress and pressure of daily work and have created a far better work/life balance than ever before. My goals are being achieved, as are those of my team both on a personal and business level."
