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-enforces the learning so the results and value are long-lasting. We’re often told the results have transformed the behaviours and success of the learners.

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.
