FPG Testimonials

“Over the years I have been fortunate to have worked with a wide range of very good suppliers / partners. Within this group is a small core of organisations who I know I can trust to go the extra mile and deliver great outcomes under, sometimes (well, usually, actually!) quite unreasonable conditions and timeframes. FPG are certainly one of these”.

“Thank you very much for all your support and expertise in designing and delivering this coaching programme – this has left a great legacy in our business. with People Managers confident and capable of coaching our managers and teams. Thank you.”

“Many thanks, the day was really successful and was very enjoyable too. We have already had lots of positive feedback about the session and I think we achieved the goal of re connecting people and getting everyone talking again! Thanks so much for your contribution to the day!”

“Having worked with a number of providers, FPG’s USP is a true partnership finding the solutions and programmes that best meet the development needs of our leadership teams. Working alongside FPG we co-created a best in class coaching skills for managers programme that was rolled out across the organisation. From inception and exploratory discussions through to delivery, they listened to us, stretched our thinking, and challenged us to come up with the best option. They were not afraid to push back, and offer sound advice and feedback but were also open to adapting where needed. They pride themselves on the integrity of what they deliver, and driving towards catalytic change. The FPG consultants that I have worked with are approachable and friendly, having a very professional style of delivery, and knowing their area of expertise.”

“FPG were and are exceptional at really understanding our business. They really got under the skin in the truest sense of the word – they have been a real partner. In fact, I would even describe them as a challenging employee. They really do understand the subtleties of our business and where we are trying to take things. Parallel to this is their customer focus which is excellent – FPG were working with us through a time of upheaval and change and at every given moment they were utterly flexible around us and the changing needs of our business.”

“Thank you so much for running the course today. The Coaching day 1 and 2 has been my favourite training course since being at Baringa. I’d do it again if I could!!”

“Many thanks for an outstanding session on Tuesday. Everyone loved it and got great value. The most typical comment was “best speaker we’ve ever had”. Adrian Kingwell gave you straight 5s – a unique event in the three years I’ve worked with him!”

“It’s exceeded my expectations in terms of the change that’s come about as a direct result of people going on the programme. The results of the programme to date have been clear: a significant change in behaviour in terms of how colleagues relate to each other, frank and open discussions around performance issues and a greater sense of ownership across all teams. The biggest shift has been across one particular division whose leadership style was formerly very dictatorial and is now far more inclusive.”

“This is one of the most powerful leadership development programs I have ever been on. Thank you! It’s been a great experience, a great investment and I will continue to use and build these new skills!”

“Just wanted to let you know that I got soooo much out of the Coaching Skills course, mainly due to your amazing skills of perception and patience. I feel privileged to have attended, and during one of the coaching exercises it hit me how to resolve a work problem I’ve had for a while. By 11am the next morning, I’d had 3 short meetings and the whole issue was resolved. A BIG THANK YOU!!”

“Thank you FPG for an extremely useful session. It is a great tool to develop our self-awareness and open up conversations with others. Our own motivations dictate what we spend our time on at a subconscious level and Motivational Maps brings these to the forefront. You were supremely agile in responding to questions and we wouldn’t want anything different to improve the session. We also loved the Motivational Map cards, a very simple way to display the information.”

“Today’s session was great. Energising, thought provoking, inspiring, as always! Lovely to see lots of engagement from everyone. Also loved the breakout rooms and how it helped everyone to connect across both business and across teams – especially for those who joined us since lockdown and have not even been able to physically meet anyone in person yet! Lots of good feedback coming in already. Looking forward to the next session – and developing my skills in between.”

“This is just a quick note to say a big thank you for your contribution to our team away day. All the feedback I’ve had from colleagues about the day has been really positive and people have said they found the Motivational Maps session really helpful and insightful, and a great basis for team and personal development. I also thought your very engaging style and approach was pitch perfect for what was needed and I’d have no hesitation in recommending to do a similar job for other council departments if asked.”

“Today's session was outstanding. The attendees were thoroughly impressed and genuinely appreciated learning practical coaching skills they can implement in their daily routines. I look forward to sharing more comprehensive feedback soon, but for now, it's clear that the event was a resounding success and you made a remarkable impact.”

Last week's workshop was a standout moment for my Emerging Leaders group, earning a unanimous 'excellent' rating. The session kicked off with engaging activities that not only introduced the topic brilliantly but also perfectly aligned with the group's current stage. The facilitator's deep understanding of coaching shone through, providing us with a comprehensive toolkit for effective leadership coaching. Every question and point raised was skillfully managed, ensuring no thread was left unexplored. The hands-on learning approach was particularly impactful, seamlessly blending into our afternoon activities. It's been a transformative end to our first year, setting a high bar for the year ahead."
