People Development

Steve is a very knowledge and thoughtful professional. From his evidence-based assertions which draw on extensive academic research to his ability to put theory into practice via real-life scenarios, he has provided me deep insight on how to better engage my colleagues and team.

“Steve has had a hugely positive impact on our business over the last twelve months, with staff engagement and rapport up significantly. His content is varied, prepared well and delivered in a style that allows everybody to feel empowered.”

I would thoroughly recommend wctd limited who have on several occasions delivered executive training and development on behalf of the Institute of Groundsmanship. Steve Woolland in particular has been thoroughly professional in his approach drawing many positive comments from those attending the various courses and training days offered. We will use wctd in the future and have no hesitation in providing a positive statement and reference.

"Steve has a good style and ability to relate to the specific work area. Good pace with lots of interaction."

"Berkshire Cricket have used the expertise and knowledge of wctd limited to deliver workshops to over 200 coaches and officials across the county and a ‘Successful Funding’ workshop for our clubs, which has seen a dramatic increase in the quality and quantity of funding applications received!"

"The workshop was delivered in a very professional manner with understanding of our sector and the challenges our staff face. Drawing out the skills of the group and introducing new theories and models of communication will assist our Development Managers hugely and my team felt inspired towards using the new skills and ideas that were shared."

A good balance of input from the trainer and exercises which I found helpful. More of Steve please!

"I started working with Steve when I was promoted at work. His style of coaching really helped me to work out what kind of manager I wanted to be, and what I wanted to achieve. The coaching sessions helped to build my confidence and ensure I was managing my team effectively, but also managing my interaction with my director successfully. I developed techniques I would not have picked up, and most importantly the art of effective questioning which has helped me develop both my team and myself."

Steve was a fantastic facilitator who made information make sense in a clear form. What we discussed around coaching and motivation were fascinating. This was the first time I have thought about these areas like this and it works for me!
