Testimonials
Finding trainers who are able to bring theoretical and knowledge-laden subjects to life in enjoyable and meaningful ways is critical for engaging delegates' interest and Dorothy manages to do just this. She has delivered Employment Law Awareness workshops for managers in a number of our client companies. Her approach is highly interactive and facilitative which gives managers the confidence to explore their issues in a risk-free environment. Dorothy's academic background and commercial experience ensure delegates are exposed to current thinking and are guided to practical solutions.
Philippa Thomas, Director, Matchett Training
"Level 7 provided two team building sessions for my staff group. In both sessions there was a time of careful preparation with all staff which resulted in a personalised service. The facilitative approach that Gill took was appreciated by us all and enabled the team to explore deep issues in a safe environment. The session enabled us to appreciate personal strengths and the dynamics within the team and identify a different way of problem solving to provide a more satisfactory process of decision making."
Sue Griffiths, Head of Department, University of Northampton
"Level Seven ticked all our boxes when it came to identifying talent development strategies to take those we identified with the most potential for the future in our business, towards that future. Our meetings are always challenging, intriguing and insightful. Level Seven focus on listening to what we need and have the capacity to deliver what they say they will."
Director of Health, Safety and Human Resources - Leading UK Construction Company
"Gill Stevens worked closely both with my Board and senior management team through a difficult period of organisational and business change. Her approach was always thoroughly professional - preparation and delivery of agreed outcomes were clearly top priorities. She was quick to identify and play back the key issues in ways that were challenging but positive, enabling us to develop effective and lasting solutions, at both corporate and individual levels."
Stephen Dunmore, previously Chief Executive of the Big Lottery Fund.
"Level Seven delivered a thought provoking session on conflict in the workplace as part of our team development day. Their style encouraged a lively and participative session which acted as a catalyst for further discussion and activities for the remainder of the day."
Gill Wright, Organisation Development, Natural England
"Dorothy and Gill have been key players in the implementation of the University's coaching strategy over the last three years. They have been involved in delivering accredited workshops for trainee coaches and are currently supervising them through their coaching practice. As our coaching network expands, I have also been able to employ their expertise in the coaching of senior managers who are benefiting from their external and objective perspective. Their knowledge and expertise is invaluable in supporting the development of a coaching culture within the University."
Sally Bernham, Staff Development Manager, The University of Northampton
"Level Seven delivered a session on Conflict in the Workplace which our managers found engaging and thought-provoking. Their 7-point plan towards resolving conflict in a timely way offers managers a practical reminder of their responsibilities. I would recommend Level Seven to any organisation wishing to revitalise their approach to conflict resolution."
Ishbel Wright, Human Resources Manager, South Shropshire Housing Association
"I've been involved in leadership development for many years, personally and organisationally. Gill re-energised my thinking and I felt inspired to know more. The Level Seven network event in January enabled me to discuss and challenge some of the topical issues concerning leadership with like-minded professionals and academics."
Tamara Grigulis, Head of OD, Servite Houses
"The one hour conflict session which was delivered by Level Seven, provided an appropriate balance of practical and theoretical information. The session was well paced and delegates were kept interested; Delegate quote 'I left the session still itching to hear more, it covers a topic of great importance to someone like me who has only just become a line manager'. The session was delivered extremely professionally and as an organisation we couldn't fail to be impressed by the passion you exude for what you do!"
Claire Wiggins, Learning and Development, Robert Horne Group
"We are very happy with the mediation service provided by Level Seven. The process worked well for the individuals involved and the whole team have benefited as a result. Some months on, the two colleagues in question are now working very productively and the department is moving forward happily."
