Testimonials and case studies
Listen to our clients. They say great things about us:
Creating inspiring leadership at John Lobb
“Beyond Theory carried out a programme of training sessions for our supervisory staff in the factory over a period of several months. Without exception, the trainees greatly enjoyed the process and each person stated categorically that they had benefited significantly. In assessing what they had specifically gained, typically they spoke about now understanding their own management style, which allowed them to better play to their strengths and minimise their weaknesses. Universally they said their morale and sense of team-spirit had soared.”
Steve Johnson, Site Director, John Lobb , Northampton

Here are more examples of what people say about us:
"If you want different results, don't do the same things" (Albert Einstein). Companies that want to out-perform competitors must think and act differently. Small business owners in particular need techniques that are quick to learn and easy to apply. Beyond Theory's Creative Thinking workshop is a fast-paced, enjoyable taster of only a fraction of their tools and techniques that they can apply immediately to galvanise their companies. The benefits make this workshop a very effective use of time.
Paul Forsythe
“It is a real pleasure to endorse Paul from Beyond Theory and his work….I jumped at the chance to have him lead a team development day for me. He made the event a total success and really delivered some great outcomes. I won't hesitate to work with Paul again ...... I recommend Beyond Theory without reservation.”
Nigel Benton, Executive Director
I attended Create Excellent Customer Service learning café. I have attended many training courses during my corporate life and I was highly impressed with the professionalism of this one. There was an opportunity for group learning, and great insights were given into customer service. I'm going to book on another of Beyond Theory's courses as I found this of great benefit."
James Tarry
“Paul's presentation style is engaging and informative. He provides thorough detail on the topic, supported by credible and extensive experience in the field, combined with on-going audience engagement. ”
Dr Mairi Watson, Deputy Dean
A big THANK YOU for the course Beyond Theory so expertly presented to two of our members of staff. The half day workshop covered 'Customer Service' skills and both Sue and Simon came back to the office with a clear, systematic approach to helping deliver the ultimate customer experience!
It was nice to see them both motivated and energised with new ideas coupled with a sense of feeling valued. Staff are vital and need to be invested in to provide real long term value and Beyond Theory's on-going workshops help do this.
The courses are great value and not too time intensive - 3 hours proves to be about right....
Thanks again and we recommend you at every opportunity.
