Testimonials from Organisations

"We appreciate you taking time out of your schedule to speak at our Women in Innovation 2010 reception.

Participants and indeed the other guest speakers, as well as the Digitalife team, were not just engaged but encouraged by your presentation. It most definitely inspired and motivated listeners to find positive ways to pursue their dreams, and the need to prioritise our own life plans. It pulled together several threads we had explored in previous events and showcased the power and possibilities of well-framed innovation and tenacity within personal development. Your presentation was lively and captivating and highlighted how well Positive Days captures the spirit of innovation, creativity and enterprise.

Our participants have expressed to us their appreciation for the opportunity you presented. Your talk exposed them to your field and area of expertise. The time given to participants to meet with you and discuss the work of Positive Days with you, aids them both personally and professionally.

We hope that your presentation and time with Digitalife participants was interactive and rewarding. We look forward to working with you in the future. Meanwhile I would be grateful if you could keep me informed of any upcoming ways our clients could get involved with Positive Days.”
Aliyyah Balson, Programmes Director, Digitalife

"The biggest message I got from Jeanette is that we have a choice - we can change our behaviour by recognising and reflecting on how we behave and if a 'wrong' behaviour occurs again not to be saddened by this but to examine why this occurred in this situation.
As a therapist I found Jeanette positive, professional, and able to recognise that people do not change over night and that setbacks occur but working together Jeanette introduced me to useful strategies that I can use both personally and professionally."
Elizabeth, NHS Calderdale

“Jeanette has been instrumental in the development and delivery of a Solution Focused Approach (SFA) across the organisation.  She is an experienced trainer and we have been able to use her skills in rolling out the SFA across the Organisation via multiple training events.  The SFA is a tool used with vulnerable and difficult customers. Jeanette possesses considerable knowledge and experience in working with this customer group to draw on to deliver the training.”
Claire Wells, HR Business Partner, Foundation Housing

"Jeanette has worked for LAF Yorkshire Ltd for the past five years as a training associate.  She reacts in a calm and well-humoured way to the different personalities on our courses and is a good listener and problem solver.  She has always taken time to make sure that all the participants were able to talk to her on a one to one basis, many times for long after the end of the course!  LAF is looking forward to working with Jeanette to develop some of her other areas of expertise into full courses for the Supported Housing Sector."
David Mason, Training Manager, Leeds Accommodation Forum

“Your training course gave me my first insight into the theory of Solution Focused Thinking.  Most of the young people that I try to engage on a daily basis present boredom and lack of future outlook as their main issues.  These eventually lead to involvement in offending, substance use or depression.  Solution Focused Approach enabled me to support these young people to explore what they want from life and to identify how they could achieve this by focusing on their strengths and past successes.  I found the training course very easy to follow with an emphasis on real life situations which greatly enhanced my learning and understanding of the practical application of the theory.”
Lloyd Kerr, Substance Misuse Worker, Wakefield MDC

“I would commend Jeanette on her ability to relate to both staff and our vulnerable customers and the ability to put people at ease.  She is able to empathise whilst remaining professional, assertive and non-judgemental.  Jeanette was instrumental in introducing Stress Management and Solution Focused Brief Therapy to the organisation and played a lead role in moving this forward and training all staff in the organisation.”
Carole Hales, Deputy Manager , Foundation Housing
