“I learnt great tips for dealing especially with sensitive or difficult staff issues’

”The interactivity of the course meant we could all learn from each others experiences”

“The most significant thing that I learnt from this course is how my body language can influence or affect other people”

What our clients say about us

“SML have been running Communication and Influencing Skills for us regularly since the mid-90s. It is extremely well received by front office and back office staff alike, from new grads to MDs, technical specialists and administrators. We are currently offering the course at least monthly to keep up with demand.”

Marva Gowie

“SML provide a number of personal effectiveness programmes for us, including Managing People Effectively. We always receive positive feedback from participants on this and other SML courses and I am particularly impressed by SML’s straightforward, uncomplicated approach and professional delivery of training.”

Lorna Byers

Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein

“I had worked successfully with SML in my last job, so when I joined my present company as Chief Executive, I felt confident inviting them to facilitate a one-day off-site with my new team. Together we clarified the purpose of the meeting and agreed how best to achieve the objectives. We found the Myers-Briggs session particularly enlightening.”

Mark Lund

Chief Executive

“Sue Lovegrove, Managing Director, SML had been an integral part of Alfa Laval’s training programme for over 10 years. The feedback from her training is always excellent - something I am happy to support, both as an organiser of training and as a past trainee.”
