I really enjoyed the structure of the seminar Excellent seminar – thank you Debs! I would recommend this seminar to others – Debs is great! I felt the seminar was clear, understandable Debs is such a great facilitator and willing to help you do better The seminar made me think more clearly about communicating better The key learning for me was keeping it short and listening afterwards Great way to build words together for elevator speech Great way to reflect on what and why and how – not just doing or saying the same thing! Excellent seminar! The most useable aspect was the conciseness of speech, painting a picture for people to associate with I learned that having a pre-planned ideas and speech that can be changed for the audience is more effective Great seminar! Would definitely recommend to others A great way to learn how to tell people what
Loved the introduction of the SMART goals Opportunity to listen to what staff want Very good seminar, and would definitely recommend to others – great way to receive honest feedback Great way to hear others’ fears, issues, feelings and joys for now and the future The key thing I gained was the importance of communication Great opportunity to acknowledge that others’ viewpoints may be different to mine Helpful to know my actions or in-actions will affect my work mates I learned that communication and cooperation are key I would recommend the seminar to others as it was useful to hear about my work mates’ views The exercise I enjoyed the most in the seminar was the part where we all did a drawing and then talked about it Excellent seminar! Really enjoyed getting together as a team and being honest with each other - this was very useful The key
I participated in the Business Coaching & Mentoring Programme with Debs at Success Factor. Overall I felt the programme was life changing. This programme works and opens doorways of possibilities. The key areas I will take away are belief in my self-worth. This unveiled keys to empower my way forward and led to an area of gaining a sense of pride. Seeing I can be of service to people, businesses, community, and the environment revealed direction, which is why I can now enjoy the journey. The most interesting and useful exercise I undertook was writing the Nirvana Letter.. wow! this was powerful!! Why this was significant is simply because it gave me my WHY in Life, the values behind that WHY, and the passion to live my WHY. This programme is invaluable and is accessible to everyone! I particularly liked the manner of the delivery. This was welcoming, kind, constructive,
A great start for time management You’ll get new ideas and learn about the importance of being self-aware in your tasks It’s a great opportunity to find and mitigate the blocks to success Helps you get more out of time The opportunity to be look at what I do objectively and make room for me This seminar has something for everyone Learned I need to structure my day, plan and keep things visual Debs is clear and speaks in my language Good interaction – being able to step back and review our methods Loved the participation and learned how to identify urgent and non urgent tasks Learned the importance of writing stuff down and making sure the right stuff is on the list at the right time Identified urgent and non-urgent tasks Enabled me to think of how I work ina critical yet positive manner Would recommend to everyone –
I had the pleasure of being the participant of the Success Factor Business Coaching & Mentoring Programme. I found the programme was of high quality, informative and beautifully adaptive to the attendee's needs. Debs scheduling prowess, prioritising skill and mainly a heap of self-improvement techniques was pretty awesome particularly when I thought I knew it all already!! The recommendation to read 'Know Your Why' by Simon Sinek and 'The Secret' by Rhonda Byrne was most interesting. What I liked most was the adaptive nature of the sessions and also how it was as much about the body and mind as it was business. The programme made a difference to me by giving my mind a rest that it's all going to work out and techniques to stop my mind racing at 1000rpm. I would highly recommend Debs, Success Factor to anyone in self-employment, as everyone needs a wing-man or woman.
Our overall assessment of the business coaching & mentoring programme was it was an interesting series of exercises which encouraged us to think outside the square which was very useful to help us make decisions about how to proceed with our business plan i.e. what to do and what not to do. It enabled us to dissect and to really get a clear picture of all aspects of our business and to evaluate and compare with other similar businesses. It gave us a clear picture of our strengths, weaknesses and how we could improve. The most interesting exercise was creating our vision, mission, purpose and core values; something which we were not totally aware of and struggled with. Introduction to the Gantt Chart was also beneficial. We loved the way Debs summarised each session and the timely emails. Always a friendly and encouraging relationship with Debs. She guided us to
Business Coaching and Mentoring Thank you Debs so much for the opportunity to have you as a business mentor. I have certainly learned a lot and know the work we have completed is going to help me move my business idea into being a reality. I am also very grateful for the guidance I received during my coaching sessions at a very challenging time in my career, the tools and strategies gave me the confidence to make empowered and impactful decisions which have resulted in a better career opportunity and an overall happier me.

Participants in the Developing Your Business Purpose Seminar Really enjoyed burrowing down on the WHY we do what we do The key thing I learned was how the Vision, Purpose, Mission and Core Values are created Understand why we do what we do Great to develop clarity of our business purpose Have a better understanding for the reason of our existence as a business Great presentation and seminar which made what can be a painful process enjoyable Excellent seminar - helpful in developing our business purpose
Overall assessment of the programme - insightful. Key Takeaways were CEO meetings, future plans, advertising plans, the way that we communicate with clients to name but a few! The most useful strategy – the creation of a pool of resources we have created e.g. advertising plan. The creative drawings were very useful to help us understand the full picture. Debs is a very good communicator; the programme was good timing. The programme made a difference to use personally i.e. helped us work better together The programme enabled us to give direction to our business Something in the programme for every business Mark and Jayne Fall Swift Mobile Locksmith www.swiftmobilelcoksmith.com
