Andrea Alexander:
I cannot praise the Step into Management course highly enough. Excellent coaches, delivery and content which challenges and inspires you to reflect and develop. Building on skills you already possess and nurturing skills that are newly acquired. Application of these skills is key and the activities set beyond the sessions take you outside your comfort zone, motivating you and ensuring continuous personal development, whilst growing and involving your team. Fantastic!
Stewart Bryce:
Paul has an amazing (sic) ability to make people around him feel immediately comfortable and relaxed> I have never been on a course that’s kept me engaged for more than an hour, but Paul’s delivery enables me to hold concentration, pay attention and learn in every session. If only I’d had teachers like him at school.
Kate Goodman:
I’ve worked with Lily for several years now. Although I was 10 years into my entrepreneurial journey when we met, I had very little structure and few processes within the business. Our mission, vision and values weren’t clearly articulated, my colleagues didn’t have coherent professional development plans or training, we were chaotic and reactive trying to manage growth and all that brings… I am the sole founder in the business so having the support of Lily and her team is a game changer for me. She has boundless energy, is well connected to a great support network, draws on a wealth of experience and, perhaps most importantly, has a great sense of humour.
Manager:
Paul’s a wonderfully engaging teacher. I’m getting so much out of this course and doing it with colleagues means we’re aligning our thinking which is the key to success of leading our business as a team.
Hayfa Saad:
Lily lit a spark in me when my fire was fading… With her unwavering belief, she guided me through a total life changing transformation. My business was born from that light, and Morgan James Consulting remains a place where people are heard, and dreams are built.
Rob Henderson:
JDA have seen a huge difference in the organisation since forming our partnership with Morgan James. At every level, they have delivered measurable improvements in our culture and our approach, resulting in the whole team pulling in the same direction and being fully engaged with the business strategy. We now default to Morgan James for a wide range of programmes from the Growth Springboard and Strategic Leaders through to specific streams of work on Culture and Communication which have been delivered to the entire team. What we have found most valuable is the relatable personalities of the whole Morgan James team and how they manage to embed themselves into JDA. Too often management consultants talk in riddles and acronyms but not here – their friendly and knowledgeable staff can communicate beautifully at all levels to demonstrate the benefits of their work to both the individual and the collective. We feel that they have added a massive amount in developing our brand and our approach to business as we evolve in to a truly Values led practice. Thanks for all you do guys – you are truly fantastic.
Michael Howard:
I met Lily at the Goldman Sachs 10K Small Businesses course in 2015 and her ability to infuse energy and passion into delivering her subject area was infectious. Her expertise is also in the most important areas I knew we had to focus on as a business – leadership and organisational culture. I continued my learning journey with her through her Growth Springboard Program, joining 5 other likeminded MDs to ensure that we didn’t fall back into bad habits or lose the momentum created by GS10KSB. We continue to meet with Lily for facilitated Springboard days 6 times a year in order to provide each other with support and unpick the challenges that come from hyper-growth. Lily subsequently became a Non-Exec Director in my business 3 years ago with an objective to ensure our new ‘Board’ / SLT functioned effectively and became an autonomous decision making authority for the business that didn’t always rely on me, the MD, to call the shots. We have not only achieved this through Lily’s ability to help us to get good at ‘challenge’ as well as ‘support’ but also by providing executive coaching for me and my team. Lily and her team continue to provide structure, dedicated learning and innovation through annual away days, bespoke learning and management programmes and other extensive support to our business. In the time we’ve worked with Lily our business has grown 45% yoy, from £1m t/o to run rate of £10m this year (2020), employing 220 staff. We have plans to continue this growth level for another 3 to 4 years, then it MUST slow!! Throughout it all, Lily has been essential to us as a growing, maturing and confident leadership team, working together effectively, whilst coaching us individually to deliver and be our best.
Rob Lomax:
Lily combines elite business coaching with humour, clarity and humility, making her a truly rare and transformative leader.
Kathy:
Lily delivered a masterclass in how to get our mission, vision and values off the paper and into the behaviours of our franchisees and their staff at our annual conference this year. We can’t recommend Lily highly enough. Her presentation was inspiring, engaging, fun and informative with some extremely thought provoking and practical tips to help them all to build their businesses. She was absolutely brilliant!
Elise Norbury:
Starting a new business, building a team, and ensuring the right training pathways are in place are essential for success. We were fortunate to find Lily at Morgan James, who made all the difference. She led us through a fun-filled, engaging day that was both supportive, interactive and tailored to reflect our company values. Through real scenarios, Lily brought our team to life, teaching them key principles and practical tactics they can easily implement. Lily is truly inspirational, and it was a pleasure to spend the day with her. Thank you!
