Jamie Hogg, Senior Branch Manager, Royal Bank of Scotland

The whole experience was exceptional and has left me perfectly clear about myself, my role as a leader and what direction I am moving in to realise my potential for the benefit of myself, my organisation and the people I work with. I found LDP a truly holistic approach to Leadership and Learning and the concepts of presenting and analysing management theory and practice as well as ourselves, through metaphors, analogies and engaging situations creates an amazingly positive experience.

The best management roller coaster ride available. Most have you sit and listen to management techniques - this makes you do them and more but better. It has left me refreshed, energised and eager to go to work every day. I thought I knew myself now I know I do.

John McDonald, Marketing & Communications Manager, The Lighthouse

Unconventional!! The mix, the unexpected, the retreat, the luxury, the sharing... can't improve on such a winning formula.

The LDP has allowed me to create my most honest development plan. It has has opened my mind and helped me realise my potential. A worthy experience!

Life changing & life affirming

I gained from the variety of experience, breadth of content, challenge, the chance to reflect, ideas and experience of others outwith my organisation, new ideas. There is a fantastic mix of activities and above all the end result is to challenge thinking which you maintain.

I gained so much! Each workshop was an incredible experience in itself. I was exposed to a whole range of unusual but wonderful challenges. The Path is excellent. It was challenging, stimulating, thought provoking, relevant and enjoyable. It was also extremely well delivered.

I think I have gained a significant amount of information on myself as tools for developing me for the future. Life changing if you buy into the proposition - which I did! Thank you!

Focus, energy, better people skills, more confidence as a leader, better working relationships, knowledge about my own working style. A very positive journey towards leadership and being the best I can be.

Very beneficial, great techniques – different slants not ‘bookish’ at all, but real. This experience has reaffirmed my values, built my confidence and increased my awareness of the things that matter to the world and the people in it.

Challenging, motivating, inspiring, life changing, great fun.

The image impact and working temperament feedback was great – even better was hearing other people’s! It helped me get a better understanding of different styles and motivations, so I can apply this to getting the best out of my team. It’s a very personal experience of leadership and what it means to each person. It’s also a practical lesson in learning to appreciate, and make the best of, people’s differences. An experiential learning programme.

A lot of insight into how I function as an individual and as a manager, and also as a leader. Knowledge and experience and an insight into others’ perspectives in a way I have never experienced. This provided a sense of achievement and sharing of experiences which was beneficial. Positive, enlightening. Provided an inner strength that needed to be taken to the fore.

The 1:1 coaching time was invaluable. All workshops were very beneficial, working together as a group was great. Enlightening. It opened my mind to new experiences, made me more self aware – it’s set me off on my journey in the right direction.
