“You provided us with some excellent support in our pre spin out and formative years and I’m glad the relationship continues.”
“Thanks so much all your help and support I really get a lot from the time you spend with us.”
“Thank you to all of your team for assisting today – you were all fantastic and it was a great help having you there.”
“Thank you for all your support over the years, particularly those early ones, and I fear you may even have succeeded in calming me down!”
“Many thanks for an excellent service during a difficult time.”
“Thank you both for another interesting, thought provoking and encouraging day!”
“Thanks Karen & Stella – even though I missed the first day, I felt this was really on point and met a need (and was fun). It has ignited conversations and decision about different ways of working and supporting each other, and has brought people close – very welcome.”
“I just wanted to write and thank Karen and Stella so much for guiding us all through the programme. You have both been brilliant and so encouraging. It has made a real difference to the whole team I believe – and we do feel like a team now. I for one have really enjoyed, and got a lot from, the process.”
“The activities were amazing, it bought us closer together. The modelling clay activity was amazing, it forced us to work as a team and use our imagination to deliver things without previous planning.”
“I am the UK Country Manager of a Global Animal Health Business, specialising in the sales and marketing of therapeutic and biological products for the pets, large animal and avian markets. In 2016 it became clear to me and the HR Business Partner that a review of our culture and ways of working was needed, in an effort to improve the morale of our staff and to share best practices across the Business, in an effort to improve efficiencies and break down silo working between our different business units. Karen Barnes and Stella Day facilitated the whole process and held workshops for our staff and Senior Management Team to enable us to map out a course of action that would start the process of changing our culture, and the results were incredible. We invited everyone to take part in an external Staff Engagement Survey at the beginning of the initiative and at the end. We had an 80% response rate for both surveys and our trust and engagement improved in all the main areas measured by the survey. A great result!”
