SaaS Technology Company
I wanted to write properly and thank you for the role you’ve played in helping our organisation and myself reach a milestone that, if I’m honest, felt a bit out of reach not too long ago.
Your facilitation of our stra
...
tegy sessions has been transformative—not just in refining our approach but in bringing the team together with a clarity and a commercial drive that’s been critical. On a personal level, your coaching sessions have had a huge impact, helping me challenge my own thinking and step into this phase with more confidence and focus.
We’ve achieved something as a team that I don’t think any of us fully believed in even a year ago, and I wanted to thank you for the part your insight and expertise have played in getting us here (giving exec team and myself some not-so subtle nudges!)
Thank you,

“Throughout the entirety of our programme with Masters in Mind (MiM), Julie and her team have demonstrated a profound knowledge and insight into the workings of complex business organisations and most importantly, coached us with this knowledge to create a more positive and effective work

ing environment. We worked with MiM in a number of areas and on various subjects and the standard of delivery throughout was top quality.
At every stage of the process the subjects covered were highly relevant and engaging and have challenged myself and our team in our thinking and methods, while simultaneously working with us on improving these to better reach our goals. MiM have given us tools and techniques to help drive our business forward in a collaborative and effective manner. I can absolutely recommend MiM to anyone looking to improve their organisation and I look forward to working with them again in the future.”

We engaged Masters in Minds to develop an effective consultative development course for our customer-facing staff. Masters in Minds took the time to understand our organisation’s context and needs and delivered at a high level.
Their methodology demonstrated meticulous planning, credible

delivery, and a client-focused approach.
From the outset, Masters in Minds demonstrated professionalism and responsiveness. They maintained regular check-ins with us, ensuring alignment with our goals and expectations. Their clear communication and understanding of our requirements set a positive tone for the collaboration.
Training sessions were meticulously planned and executed. Their content was relevant, up-to-date, and tailored to our specific needs. Attendees praised the deliverers’ expertise and engaging delivery style which enhanced the overall learning experience.
In summary - our experience was extremely positive.

Senior People Director
Finding a credible supplier to work with a time-poor, senior leadership team is not always easy due to the multiple personalities involved and different needs. However, Masters in Minds (MiMs), nailed it. From initial introductions, through to a measurably successful, company-wide, senior leader coa
...
ching development programme, and all the touch-points in-between, MiMs demonstrated their prowess, modelled through their expertise, skills, knowledge and ability to work with a diverse and complex organisation.
This resulted in a senior leader cadre, gaining both skill and practical ability in applying coaching techniques, which in turn, facilitated in an increase in self-awareness, confidence having richer career development conversations, and improved working relationships. No mean feat!
Would absolutely work with MiMs again – and recommend.

“Dear MiM team,
We made it!
What a truly fantastic journey we have been on for the last few
...
months!
Getting an opportunity to custom design and deliver a Leadership programme for our business has been a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for me. I speak for everyone when I say we have learned so much.
From the start, we said we would “learn together to lead together,” and I believe this has been an overwhelming success.
We decided to go on this journey with MiM. We wanted to challenge the mindset, open ourselves to experience new ideas, learn new techniques and tools, understand a common language and define a values-based culture to lead our business forward.
Ovarro is a very different business today, and we now have the beginnings of a high-performing leadership team ready to deliver on our ambitions.
For that, we are very thankful for all that you have done so far, the work behind the scenes to create the content coupled with the professionalism, credibility and authenticity in the way the material was delivered … we could not have achieved this without you!
We look forward to working on our PDPs and continuing to receive coaching from you all.
Thanks again. “

“At first, with LDP, I found it tough going. In order to put things right with my personal and team performance, I had to accept that what I was doing needed to improve. My personal standards had to improve. I needed to constantly look at myself, my performance, my attitude, and how I interacted with my sales manag

ement team.
Initially, it was exhausting to keep myself constantly in check. However, what I have achieved with your help has been fantastic. My management team now, having gone through the same learning as I have, work out of the same values and standards as a team, whilst respecting differing individual values as well. We understand each other better, we are able to hold each other to account without fear of recrimination when we feel one our managers falls below that standard, or transgresses a value of a colleague.
We are able to give good old-fashioned honesty to our colleagues, and it’s respected as it has come from a positive intention rather than a need to be “right or better” than the next person. I think what I am trying to explain is we are undergoing a cultural change in Mitsubishi Electric.”

l coach in one. They went the extra mile every single time for us and showed a deep understanding of the leadership and change challenges facing a business experiencing big change.This makes an extraordinary difference.Due to the nature of the content and practice that MIM introduces to a business, leaders could be inclined to dismiss some of the listening and acknowledgement practices as “too soft.”
This is exactly the reason why some leaders may fail to guide, motivate and lead their people. I personally have made great strides forward in my impact, and the performance of my team and would encourage other leaders to work with MIM to support making that step change.”
