"After 10 years of working hard to establish our business I was feeling tired and jaded; lacking in motivation. LEAD Wales helped me to re-focus on our goals,gave me renewed enthusiasm and ideas. I now feel inspired and I am already seeing the positive results of the changes I have implemented."

"With a little help from your course we managed to triple the size of the company…If you could thank the team that takes the course it would be appreciated! The change in thinking towards running the business has been a result of some of the great tips picked up on the programme. "

Lee Roblin, Director, R&L Interiors and All Trades Network

"I took two big things out of the course. First, the access to masterclasses from people who are masters in their field. This year the change masterclass was really pertinent to what I was looking at in my business. Secondly, the importance of the group: we are in different industries but we have very similar problems and you can learn a lot from the people attending the course with you."

Shirley Price Jones - Practice Manager, Tysul Vets

"Though we had a great foundation and knowledge in construction, we knew little about business or running a company. The course enabled me to take a step back and view my business from the outside. Since starting the course, our company has seen a growth in turnover and profit, we have employed more staff and put into place better procedures which is making all of our lives a lot easier."

Shaun Welsh, Commercial Director, Trojan Construction Management - ex LEAD Wales delegate

"The programme uncovered and exposed my weaknesses and then it gave me the tools to rebuild and ultimately improve the structure, culture, enjoyment and turnover of the business. The course content was excellent and surpassed my expectations. Our turnover increased by 30%, the business team blossomed, structure & strategy were created, implemented and resourced. "

"I attended the programme that preceded ION leadership and it enabled me to progress in my career and secure a CEO role within Carers Trust Crossroad Care Sir Gar. Here I am again 6 months later, on the ION programme, learning the skills I need to implement change and move the business forward. I recommend this programme to other leaders in Wales, not only for their own satisfaction but also for the benefit it will bring to their businesses. It changed me from within and was key to my development.” "

Alison Harries, CEO Carers Trust Crossroad Care Sir Gar

"I have to confess to be a little skeptical at first, but I am so glad I decided to take part - it was the best thing that I have undertaken in a long time. After running my business pretty much single handed for almost nine years I was feeling a little jaded. This programme was an eye opening, invigorating, fantastic, amazing experience. "

Denise Lardner, Director, Cleaner Care Ltd - ex LEAD Wales delegate

""The last 8 months on the ION course have been a really positive change. It has been a big reflection on self awareness I have been able to unearth some good strengths and some weaknesses. I have been able to act on them and has made a big difference to my company and to myself." "
