"I have worked with Mandy and No Limit training now for several years, and long may that continue!  

 

"As an ILM provider I know and have seen first-hand the dedication to the content and the learners on programs to get the best possible outcomes and development for them as individuals.  Having had bespoke programs designed with Mandy and also been a member myself on a level 7 program, I can highly recommend Mandy as a competent and passionate development trainer. 

 

"During working on multiple ILM courses, I further asked Mandy to support in other areas such as our bespoke Train the trainer course for all levels of managers. 

 

"This is a key role for our management team, and as our industry is quite niche, it was important that the course was both relative and great development for the participants.  It is a course I keep coming back to book for all new leaders in the business!   

 

"I know when I contact Mandy with something new, she will be ready and passionate to work with us, design what is best for the learnings, the business and the individuals and it always something I look forward to doing."

"A big thank you for the tailored day of training you delivered to the leads in the Occupational Therapy Service.

​

"When my colleague and I met you, we talked a lot about what we felt we wanted to get out of the day, at that stage it felt quite big and unwieldy. You really listened and were able to help us understand what we wanted and needed and what might work well for the format, taking into account the needs of the group. Your understanding of the needs of the service and those in it, was excellent and also how to draw out the reflective conversations that have stimulated much ongoing discussion and thought in the service.

 

"The day itself was well planned and delivered brilliantly. You kept the whole group engaged and provoked much animated reflective discussion. The feedback from the group reiterated this. This day of training gave everyone something to go away with to take things forward in the supervision they give and receive. We have also adapted the in house supervision training we deliver incorporating some of the key messages we learnt about from you, particularly the idea of the trust credibility ratio, having ‘crucial conversations’ the support and challenge matrix and the idea of feeding forward rather than focusing just on feedback. This practical learning has been hugely valuable.

 

"The way you got the whole group involved to think and discuss ideas and feedback has been equally valuable; the information we took from this is guiding us to make responsive changes in how we stricture supervision and support staff within the service.  

 

"I am delighted and grateful that the health board funded this opportunity and was over the moon with how you planned and delivered a superb day that went well beyond meeting the brief. Thank you."

"Mandy Johnson undertook the delivery and support for the ILM Coaching programme at a level 7 and level 5 for Dyfed Powys Police. I was one of the attendees on this course undertaking the level 7 at the time I was the Assistant Director People Services in Dyfed Powys Police. Mandy delivered the modular programme giving all of us attending clear direction, support and an opportunity to practice our new found skills. Her strength as a trainer and support of the programme was her engaging style, her immense knowledge and her down to earth practical support and engagement. She openly invited everyone on the course to participate and bring their experiences into the classroom for the benefit of others. Mandy is a constant support to all who attend her courses when you are training or after you have completed. Mandy is at the end of the phone or email and is always eager to support you to improve your skills and confidence."

"Mandy’s passion and energy shone through in her clear delivery of the ILM5 Award in  Leadership and Management course I recently attended, always ensuring that the course was brought to life by relating workplace scenarios to Key learning modules through interactional engaging workshops. The tutorial support given by Mandy was exemplary, offering tailored guidance throughout the course at all times. Highly recommended."

"Anything is possible with the help and support of someone like Mandy Johnson!

​

"I have been a Manager for over 20 years and was asked by company to take the ILM5.  My initial response was one of horror! How was I going to fit it into my day job? Did I really want to go back to school in my 50's? But even more concerning was the thought of writing academic work!

​

"I need not have been concerned.  6 months later I have not only passed the ILM5 Award in Leadership and Management qualification, but I enjoyed doing it! The course enabled me to network with other Managers, discover that it is never too late to learn and write about it. The programme also endorsed some of the things that I do, and how I behave as a Manager is key to my team’s success and my company.

 

"The course was designed and delivered by Mandy Johnson, who is very knowledgeable and made the content interesting, initiated thought-provoking discussions, and supported and guided me throughout.  I would not have achieved the ILM5 and enjoyed the course so much without her. Thank you very much Mandy."

"I would like to thank you for your efforts during the ILM level 5 course you instructed recently. I found your obvious enthusiasm for the subject matter extremely encouraging and motivating. The use of a variety of activities and teaching methods helped to maintain my concentration during the course and while we covered a lot of material I never felt bored or overloaded. 

"Furthermore your continued support outside the classroom has been extremely beneficial and gratefully received during the assignment write up. I have always felt able to contact you to check I had fully understood a subject and I would like to thank you for going the extra mile to offer that sort of support to your students.
In short I am sure I would not have got as much out of the course if it hadn’t been delivered by yourself and I am pleased to say I have recommended you and the course to anyone who has expressed an interest. I wish you all the best for the future and hope to be lucky enough to have future training delivered by you".

"Mandy, we thought that from day one your approach was very professional setting expectations and clearly defined the aims and objectives of the management programme. As a tutor you used group work as a great learning experience where you interacted with each group and got all the candidates to feed back. You changed groups allowing everyone the chance to share different ideas and bring in the culture and experiences of different organisations.
 

"You used a range of different learning techniques which were engaging and provided guidance on where candidates could go and research for their work. Following each workshop you were contactable and from our experience you provided follow up guidance and advice which was very beneficial this kept people motivated to complete work as necessary. You made our experience during this learning time very enjoyable.
 

"You made the whole experience informative where I learnt lots of new things and it was fun".
 

Susan Jones, Area Manager, Cartrefi

"The training was very inspirational, energising, bringing lots of ideas, both substantial and in-depth knowledge together with case studies, learning from experience and being fully practice-oriented. Well-balanced composition of participants, which contributed to interesting and focused discussions and exchanges.
 

"Facilitation was outstanding, and I very much liked the approach. I also liked the fact that time management was excellent - sessions and days were not too long, as often happens in these sorts of workshops. There was a lot of content, so lots of food for thought. Very interactive and participatory and it has really given me new insight and energy to apply to my future approach.  

 

"It was great that all participants had so many experiences to share and Mandy drew in the experiences of all the participants which was really one of the best ways to learn about training in the real world. This was one of my best learning experiences and it has inspired me to rethink the way I plan and present my work.
 

"Mandy has remarkable training skills and always took our answers seriously, never dismissed them as wrong, emphasised good answers and provided useful examples.
 

"Content and presentation by Mandy was consistently high quality and engaging. Most importantly, each session provided an excellent review of the challenges and opportunities inherent in each topic area – while challenging us to clarify and to find our own answers. I feel that all the techniques used, the methods, the clips / PowerPoint’s were extremely good. At no point did I feel that the training was “long”.  Even after breaks/lunch, I felt that there was a lot of energy and enthusiasm.

 

"It is great to have Trainers with so much passion and energy. I felt challenged and consistently drawn into the exercises and presentations and the workshops had my full attention due to the way in which they were conducted".

"Mandy is extremely knowledgeable, with a vast amount of experience and this is obvious when she is discussing topics. To build on this talent, Mandy has an exceptional way of delivering the information. It’s accurate, with the perfect amount of detail, but most importantly the delivery is second to none. Mandy is friendly, listens well, encourages feedback and discussion and I know I was consistently engaged when attending her sessions.
 

"I can honestly say that I would not have stuck with completing the ILM 5 qualification and furthermore, I would not have passed it without Mandy! Thank you, Mandy.
 

"I cannot fault you and I would thoroughly recommend you, amazing"!

Stuart Burgess, Logistics and Facilities Officer, TAAS

"I cannot praise Mandy enough for her support throughout the course, without which, I do not believe I would have not only enjoyed it but also passed. She is incredibly knowledgeable and thorough on each subject covered and is always available for support.

 

"She puts you at ease, nothing is too much trouble.
 

"I nearly didn’t attend this course as I didn’t think I could do it or have the time, but you made it all possible and I am so glad I did, thank you Mandy".

"I undertook the level 7 ILM certificate in Executive Coaching and Mentoring with Mandy. It initially felt quite overwhelming with a lot of material to cover and criteria to complete, alongside delivering actual coaching sessions with clients. Mandy was excellent in simplifying the course, providing clear guidance and support to meet the criteria. Her facilitation skills were excellent and we had a great opportunity to discuss some complex topics on a one-to-one basis. Mandy was very understanding of my own style of working and need to balance the course with the challenges of work and life. I would happily recommend Mandy as a course provider, a coach or a coaching supervisor".
