In 2017, David and Neil published their successful career and life-skills development guide Moving From Ready Later To Ready Now. The guide allows a much greater number of individuals to plan and achieve the success they need using key tools from CCMR’s personal development workshops. The founders regularly enjoy receiving stories about the positive changes readers have made by following the book’s step-by-step approach.

We are driven by our values
Our values don’t just define who we are, they help us make our clients successful

Sustained approach
Our teaching methods use a stretch-consolidate-stretch approach which re-
Working with, not on
We work with our clients, rather than on them. We build strong relationships with our clients and create strong relationships between individuals attending a program. This strengthens the culture of openness and trust.
Individuals, not just the organisation
Each person we work with recognises how they benefit personally from our workshops. Benefits which often extend well beyond the workplace. This motivates them to embrace new behaviours, which then have a lasting, positive impact on their organisation.
Leaving a heritage we’re proud of
We’re proud of creating a heritage of individuals who are more confident in themselves and their learning. They are highly motivated to use their new skills and are enthusiastic about passing on their knowledge to others. They often receive feedback that they have strengthened their personal resilience and they approach any change, in role or organisation, with a positive, can-do attitude.
Enjoyment
We deliberately take steps to add a spirit of enjoyment and fun in all we do. For those we teach and for ourselves too.
