Discover what Performance Teaming could do for you
"There are many small things that we picked up from our coaching experience over the past two years which have become everyday items for us now, such as ‘what does it do for the customer?’ And ‘what does it do for cash?’
I would suggest the key win was how to properly structure the business for the best outcomes, so leadership and decision making is cascaded down through the organisation.
The other point that comes to mind was encouraging us to try something – experiment – but be courageous enough to stop if it is not working; this gave us confidence to make some decisions that otherwise may have held us back.
These learnings enabled the company to build both a resilience, which enabled a survival in the Covid 19 crisis of 2020, and a confidence in a strong growth trajectory which we are experiencing as we move forward."

"We engaged on the High-Performance Leadership and Teaming (HPLT) programme as part of a series of employee development programmes. The HPLT focused on delivering a cultural shift in our leadership team, from board downwards, with a real emphasis on understanding and applying drivers of performance.
The cross functional sessions that were delivered encouraged the breaking down of functional barriers, and really challenged our leadership teams; all delivered with Bob’s unique style, always challenging, always thought provoking, and always bringing about new ways of thinking.
The process helped us form very effective teams and helped embed a ‘teaming’ culture throughout our business. We saw significant improvements in cross functional relations and performance, and it firmly cemented our team-based approach, resulting in really strong inter-function performance.

"I have been meaning to send a note but when I say we have been off our feet I literally can’t explain how busy we have been. That said, you guided us that if you follow best practise, you will see positive outcomes every time. I would like to credit your work and teaching as there were successes achieved and risks we would not have taken over the past few months if it wasn’t for skills and insights you had taught us! This is not to mention the increase of sales and understanding of our business we have gained over the past 24 months."
Business Development Director, Distribution Business, North London
"We engaged with The Performance Learning Company at a time when our business was not performing, had significant arrears; numerous quality issues and so on. Our key customer was on site weekly. It was a very difficult situation and it soon became clear that much of the underlying issues revolved around poor teamwork, silo mentality and destructive internal relationships.
The Performance Team coaching programme was quite different to anything I had previously experienced; focussing more on collective team dynamics rather than individual styles and behaviours. Relationships were explored, opened and understood. Techniques practiced, open and honest communications encouraged in a non-threatening environment, explorations encouraged, and regular reviews and feedback sessions helped us clarify what was going well / not so well. It certainly made us look at our leadership of teams, collaboration, team power and energy and collective success.
The business changed beyond recognition. We began to deliver on time; quality issues diminished, we made money; the climate was enthusiastic and energetic. It actually became a really nice place to work; and as a leadership team, we had fun!
We were even asked to present the Cultural Change Journey to our customer’s entire supply base as a guest speaker at one of their supplier conferences.
Having experienced Bob’s coaching and seen the possibilities it drives; I feel able to recommend him as an ‘expert’ change agent in teamworking."
Managing Director, Precision Manufacturer
"Bob was our business coach for a year. He is invariably calm, always inspirational and incredibly perceptive. I would highly recommend him to any company wanting to improve operations, create a better strategy or develop their leadership teams. He has a great understanding of the link between operations, strategy and sales and marketing."
Managing Director, Office Equipment Distributor, East Anglia
"Bob worked as an executive and team coach and mentored senior leaders and leadership teams of approximately ten SMEs within our group.
During that time, outcomes for all clients coached by Bob were positive, with most of these clients requesting an extension of his services when the initial engagements completed.
We have no hesitation in recommending his services."
