“ People Results helped us, Simplyhealth to gain and transform the goodwill of hundreds of good quality people into real business advantage. In my opinion, few people can offer help in this fundamental way. I commend their skills very highly, knowing that my business has been truly enabled by them. ”

Des Benjamin
President of the Institute of Customer Service & Former Group Chief Executive, Simplyhealth

“ The learning and support our teams were able to receive from People Results has materially changed our business for the better, whilst at the same time allowing every member of our business, at every level, to gain greater personal awareness and take away personal developmental goals.  Melanie’s experience, approach and nature allowed us to discuss even the most difficult issues openly and constructively and once past this point, only positive outcomes are possible. The overall process was hugely enjoyable and the results are infectious leaving you wanting to do more. ”

Matthew Hogg
Director of Publisher & Customer Services, Macmillan Distribution (MDL)

“ Melanie and the team at People Results are a rare breed of consultancy that truly seek to understand your organisation and teams upfront. The openness and effort they put in prior to any formal engagement really sets them apart. Why? Because it brings results, their sessions are engaging, relevant and impactful. They are more tuned in than any I have experienced. Our teams left feeling invigorated and better equipped to communicate with customers and colleagues. I would have no hesitation in recommending their services. ”

Phillip Stylianides
Chief Operations Officer, Picker Institute Europe

“ We have worked with Melanie over a number of years - and continue to do so - on leadership development programmes and executive coaching. The quality of service has been outstanding, and Melanie’s depth of experience and inclusive approach has delivered training sessions that are informative, inspiring and enjoyable.

“ The work that you did with my team was universally found to be both great fun and very enlightening. I have seen people grow as a result of understanding themselves and others more deeply, and be better able to tailor their communication and interactions with different people. ”

Anne Hart

“ We were extremely impressed with the executive coaching Melanie provided for a member of our senior leadership team.  She was practical and focussed and always results oriented.  She was also, importantly, totally committed to the business requirements and yet highly sensitive to the needs and personality of the coachee. She brought a wonderful energy, enthusiasm and excellent experience, not only in coaching but in real world business.  I wouldn't hesitate to use her services again and can highly recommend her. ”

Louise Dell

“ Melanie facilitated a fantastic day for my team. We worked together ahead of the day to ensure our objectives would be met. The day has subsequently helped us as continue to develop strong relationships that have benefited both delivery of results and team spirit. Melanie herself was energetic & inspiring, exactly what was needed in our trainer! ”

Jo Martin
Head of Store Marketing, B&Q

“ Just a big "thank you" to you and your People Results organisation for helping run what was a milestone event for our planning team. Exploring in detail how each of us tick - and importantly what makes others tick - has not only enabled us break new ground in our relationships with the asset teams, but also helped us get on even more effectively with each other. Wholly inspiring! ”

“ Ballard School has a whole day session before the new school year begins to train our Senior Prefects in Year 11 (usually around 25 young people aged around 15-16 years). For the past two years we have been delighted to have a half day input from People Results  to run the ‘Insights’ feedback and training. We have used these sessions to focus on team building and understanding each other’s personalities and characteristics. I have felt these sessions to be a great help in enabling our young people work better together as pupil leaders over the course of the year which follows. ”

Alastair Reid
Headmaster, Ballard School

“ The simple reason for us using People Results is their ability to truly understand our business needs and collaborate with us on delivering pragmatic solutions that result in significant and sustainable business improvements. ”

Mark Day
Former Director of Customer Services, Simplyhealth

“ I have been working with Melanie since March 2015. As both an entrepreneur and a coach, I quickly realised the value that Melanie, with all her experience and expertise, would bring to our coaching sessions and consequently to my business and to me. I like her straight-forward, practical approach and her action-based outcomes. Melanie reflects back at me the realities of my situation, giving me a clearer picture of myself and my capabilities, whilst pushing me to achieve my goals. By working with Melanie, I have been able to push forward with business objectives in a focused and organised way, whilst juggling a variety of life changes and challenges as well. Brilliant Melanie, thank you! ”

Sarah Reynolds
Director, Life Forward Coaching

“ I worked with Mel on a programme to develop our managers and was looking for someone who would be more than a supplier; over the course of our long standing relationship she has proved to be a true partner in design, co-facilitation and understanding our people. I trust her judgment implicitly, value her ideas and enjoy the immense energy and enthusiasm she brings to each event. ”

Jane Hapgood
Learning and Development Manager, Heath Lambert Group

“ I first met Mel when she facilitated a significant programme of behavioural coaching with Shell just as I was going through a career change with the company. Mel’s professional, engaging and friendly manner delivered the coaching in a way that really connected with her audience. It was a defining moment for me, I learned a lot about myself, my strengths and values and opportunities for me to target areas to develop. ”

I am very grateful to her for the part she played and has continued to play in helping me along from the first tentative steps on my new path.”

Mike Thow
HS&E Advisor, Shell Exploration and Production

“ Melanie combines her understanding of people and organisations to generate meaningful conversations and insights. She ensures that discussions are focused into actions and tests the strength and commitment of all those involved. If you are committed to developing your team and improving results I highly recommend working with Melanie and People Results. ”

Tricia Stewart
HR Director, Balhousie Care Group

“ Melanie has a wonderful personable style which makes you immediately feel at ease. She truly understands people and what makes them tick; she has an amazingly uncanny ability to cut through the smokescreen and get to the real person beneath the exterior. The support for me both from a technical and personal basis has simply been world class and I would not have achieved half as much without that support . Melanie truly is a unique individual. ”

John Blackett
Divisional Director, Universal Sodexo

“ I worked with Melanie on our Leadership Development Programme at Heath Lambert. Melanie was never just an external consultant, she took the time to get to know our business, our staff and what we did. This enabled the programme to be tailored to our exact needs which resulted in fantastic feedback from the delegates. Her wealth of knowledge and expertise has been invaluable, and wherever I work in the future I will always be looking at ways to involve Melanie. ”
