What our clients say...

“It’s been one of the most valuable ways I’ve spent my time from a development perspective in many years. I’m sure it’s the same for everyone but time is precious, taking time from the working day is a challenge but the return on investment for this course is remarkable.”

“We have been working with CAPE in the past to grow coaching skills in Human8. The training programs we have ran with them have boosted our participants’ confidence in having better conversations, also the difficult ones, empowering people, and positively impacting wellbeing. Participants report it is very practical and has much impact, not only internally but also in their client work.”

“I have really loved being part of the CAPE program and I would recommend it to anybody who’s involved in people leadership.”

“Prime has achieved its objectives through the CAPE program, resulting in a noticeable change in its culture and positioning it for sustained success. We have observed enhanced collaboration among different service lines and teams, effectively addressing common business challenges both internally and externally.”

“Both Lynsey and Naomi are personable. I believe they look at the need of the organisation rather than ‘selling’ a product which may not suit the need. They are confident in their offering which also gives them confidence to say ‘this is not us’. For me relationships are formed first on honesty , delivery and trust. CAPE do this very well.”

We started One World Together driven by our mission and purpose, alongside two full-time jobs and limited experience of starting, sustaining and growing a successful business. And it didn’t take us long to learn that if we want to succeed in our mission it’s going to take those skills – not just in day to day operations, but also in our strategic thinking and planning.

We’re deeply grateful to CAPE People Development for supporting us at what is a critical transition point for our team and organisation. We appreciated the day of deep and caring facilitation, that met us where we were at this current moment, where we want to be in a year’s time – and to think through what we need to get there. It wasn’t just good for planning and strategy – it has reinvigorated all of us and got our fires burning to get there

“CAPE is most friendly reminder about the importance of curiosity and power of the people. During this programme I realised that conscious listening helps putting a situation on the table faster than you imagined.

I re-learned to listen to myself, be patient when taking decisions and ask the right questions to get the important answers. Also, the programme is helping me to navigate my potential derailers, offering solutions and concrete actions to better lead my team.”

“We cannot deliver our vital and unique work without our team. Working together is key to our success. We have to acknowledge that we all think, work, hear and beat differently. Understanding some of this is key to how we communicate and for me, there’s nothing more key to the success of a team than open, clear and kind communication.

CAPE helped us to achieve this. By delving into our DISC personalities and opening up a new way of acknowledging, thinking and interacting we were able to understand one another much better. It’s the start of something exciting, we are already seeing the rewards of our investment.”

“Working with CAPE has been a total game-changer. You have helped us to remove the level of fear that exists when challenges come up. We feel we can now deal with situations better and that has removed friction between us.”

“The decision to engage with CAPE as a bespoke training provider was driven by our commitment to authenticity and collaboration. Recognising the importance of our team’s ability to share real life scenarios and enhance internal and client facing collaboration, we sought a tailored approach. Off-the-shelf programs lacked the depth and customisation required to address our specific needs and values effectively.”

“At Explain our people are the key to our success. Recently we enrolled on the CAPE Coaching and Development people management programme to support our team’s personal development.

In our experience, we’ve found that CAPE promotes a peer learning environment, is underpinned by coaching throughout and is highly practical and business focussed. Thanks for creating such a different approach to supporting our teams development.”

“I wanted to set up a mentoring programme within our engineering department for our fleet apprentices over at West Midlands Trains and was recommended CAPE to help train up our mentors. CAPE were brilliant in guiding me to a sensible approach that has not only delivered what we need it to but also has been really enjoyable for all those involved. I’d highly recommend CAPE to anyone needing training around coaching / mentoring.”

“It’s had a massive impact on me, I now reflect more and I’m not taking everyone’s job on my shoulders. The team are more empowered, the behaviours of handing everything to me or thinking it’s my problem to fix has changed. People now come with actually what they think is the answer and we agree a way forward together.

When I asked for help, any personal development or career advice, Lynsey and Naomi were always right there to support me. I can’t thank you both enough. This is the best course I’ve ever been a part of in the 23 Years I’ve been in BT.”

“CAPE have been great partner to work with. They are very efficient in communications, they have taken the time to understand our brief and tailor the content. They also delivered the session in a way which was both supportive to the students and at the same time provided a stretch and new learning. I look forward to working with CAPE again.”

“CAPE are absolutely brilliant. They have been invaluable for our team’s professional development – for individuals and at a team level. Working with CAPE is enjoyable, easy and invaluable for professional development – both at an individual and team level. Couldn’t recommend CAPE enough!.”

“To sum up, I’ve found the programme to be life changing-I think its come at the right time for me as a person and in my career, but what you guys do is so powerful too. You’ve really helped me reconnect with who I am as a person and I can’t thank you enough.”

"I've worked with Naomi and Lynsey in multiple jobs and roles. Whether it be in group settings or on a one-to-one basis, their coaching has been instrumental in my development both as a people manager, but also in helping to progress in my own career. Their approach is warm and considered and has given me many-a-tool to take forward with confidence - for years to come!"

Thank you so much for the CAPE Programme. I am so much better for it.

I’m seeing the person I line manage flourish where they have really struggled previously, and our team is significantly more effective.

I thought the programme structure was very effective. I found the beginning of the course challenging, as I had to reflect deeply on myself as well as my environment. You motivated me to change some ingrained behaviours and gave me practical models to replace them with. It’s a relief. This has unlocked massive potential for me. I am confident and empowered in my abilities.

Congratulations on creating something genuinely brilliant that is making the world a much better place. I’m grateful to have been a part of it.
