“Roderic provided the highest rated talk on my post-graduate programme. It was everything that a excellent presentation should be: professional, engaging, challenging and enjoyable. Having seen him deliver to a number of different organisations, I have been impressed by Roderic’s mastery of a difficult skill – he successfully shapes his talks to specific audiences and gets them to think creatively. First class.”
Professor Lloyd Clark, Professor of War Studies and Leadership, University of Buckingham

We will continue to work with him and his team and look forward to continuing our relationship in Year 2 of the programme”.

“Roderic spoke to a military, sporting and business audience for the Centre for Army Leadership in March 2019 at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. His thoughts on the application of the OODA Loop where thought provoking and applicable to the various sectors that were represented. I personally believe that he improved the understanding of decision making, leadership and thinking skills for those who were lucky enough to hear his lecture.”
Major Paul D McFarland MC R IRISH, SO2 Leadership British Army
“I just spent a year working with Rod on the High Potential Future Leaders Programme. The skills I learnt on Rod’s programme have been pivotal for the point I am at in my career. I found this programme to be crucial for developing my leadership style and the awareness to adapt to others I am managing. I really enjoyed learning about the psychology behind communication when working with teams/individuals and the resilience workshops were particularly motivational given my line of work”.
Anna-Marie McGraw, Principal, Wilton & Bain
