Maria delivered the Leadership Development Programme for a mutual client who was subsequently then named in the 2013 Sunday Times top 100 places to work.

I have co-delivered the course with her and found her to be highly professional and knowledgeable. She demonstrates a high degree of expertise in management development. This is both in terms of explaining the theory of different models and techniques and in using a case study throughout the programme to creatively apply and embed the learning.

She is sensitive to the different learning styles and motivations of participants. In addition, her style is open and inviting to questions and creates a relaxed, safe learning environment. Maria is extremely enthusiastic about her work which is infectious. I certainly would recommend her for any assessment and development assignments.
