Strategic facilitation Many thanks for your facilitation. I thought the approach worked well, particularly your management of the time and keeping us focused on the main issues under consideration. I have attended a number of similar events and know how difficult it is to stick to the plan, but you had no difficulty in keeping us in order. I was pleased to see the output from the afternoon session and will take this forward.
Ian Hewett, Operations Director, Defra
Strategic planning and team development Cornerstone facilitated a strategic planning meeting for us. The smooth running of the day made it obvious that it had been planned specifically to achieve our desired objectives. The meeting has enabled us to formalise our plans for the next period of growth and also laid the ground work for maximising the potential of the team.
Graham Orriss, Managing Director, Revival Insurance Services
Business Development and Account management - Thank you for running a very effective training session last week (Account startegic planning, proposals, presenataions, negotiations and selling tactics). Feedback from the team has been very very positive, they have said independently how much they got of the programme.
Stewart Kay, Vice President Sales and Marketing, Asterand Pharmaceuticals
Organisation development Cornerstone has grown significantly over the past few years but they have managed to maintain their personal approach while being highly commercially focused. They have a huge amount of structure to their solutions but stay client focused and are happy to rip up the standard solution if the client needs something special.
Matt Tobin, Head of Human Resources, Screwfix Direct.
Valuing others in teams I have found the day to be very effective. You have a very relaxed informative manner when facilitating and I enjoyed it particularly keeping us focused on the business in hand.
Karen Krukowski, Development Manager, Defra

Team development and strategic planning Cornerstone created an open and secure environment that was quickly established and reinforced and tested with various exercises. Exceptional.

Coaching for performance The course was well balanced and delivered. Structured so that the theoretical aspects e.g. The COACH model are used immediately after they have been introduced.

Teamworking for scientists A very good forum to exchange views and to pick up techniques and good practices from. Brought home the importance of full planning.
Steve Courtney, Scientist, Evotec
Communication and leadership Very informative but still very flexible when the situation needed it. Informed yet structured training. I assume it to be very effective as Cornerstone have raised my awareness of a structured approach. I hope to implement these in my daily work.
Cliff Matravers, Team Manager, Defra
Interpersonal skills Cornerstone run training programmes which are very good, very enjoyable made more so by the quality of the trainers and relaxed atmosphere they engendered.
Pam Frost, Team Manager, Defra
Managing and coaching teams The feedback session made me focus on the strengths and weaknesses of my team colleagues. Their observations about me whilst not surprising did make me think critically about how I work with members of my team. I hope it will enable me to alter some of the behaviours I employ.
Ian Sainty, Team Manager, Defra
Improving performance managing self and teams through change, Cornerstone provided an excellent training programme. The practical exercises that explained the models were very useful. The change curve helped me to understand the different stages people go through during change.
