“I hired Phil to assist with the development of a customized, blended learning Presentation Skills course for my company and to provide a train-the-trainer session to the three staff who would be teaching this program to our staff.

Phil is very personable, professional and was a pleasure to work with. He makes an art out of presenting material, but is also skilled at breaking it down into it's essential components so that it can be sucessfully taught to highly technical professionals.

He took onboard our specific needs and helped us put together an excellent program that has been very highly rated by our staff. He was also very careful with our budget for this project, which was highly appreciated given our finite resources”

“Bayer has worked with Coachwise Consultants for over 7 years, predominantly with Phil Yates, who has provided not only training courses but has helped us identify our training needs, and provided customised solutions to meet those needs. He has gained the trust of our sales team and others within the business, which has created a very open and responsive mind-set within our team which has enhanced the willingness to learn new concepts.

Phil has worked very hard at fully understanding and helping us to develop the training brief, which has resulted in training courses which fully meet and often exceed our expectations in terms of new learning.

In addition to using Coachwise’s services within Bayer, we have recommended Phil to a number of our key customers, for training within their own organisations and have received very positive feedback, which has enhanced our relationship with these customers. Furthermore we have recommended and used Coachwise at an international level with Bayer Animal Health. Although most of our work with Coachwise has been with Phil Yates, where he has brought in affiliated consultants, these have been like minded and have delivered complementary skills.

Where clients are seeking bespoke training solutions which not only meet known training needs but uncover unmet needs I would definitely recommend a discussion with Coachwise Consultants.

“I feel like I have been to another planet and back again. It was definitely the best course I have ever been on and I thoroughly enjoyed myself despite being rather cynical before I went.”

Sales Manager, Boehringer Ingelheim

“I would like to thank you for the excellent presentations skills workshops that you completed for us during May and June.. The feedback from the delegates and the managers present has been superb. Your personalised approach and constructive manner was of particular note. We are extremely pleased that all of the delegates made a demonstrable improvement in their presentations skills and look forward to working with you again in the near future.”

Senior Sales Manager, Astra Zeneca

“Most providers offer standard, stock ‘off the peg’ solutions which they attempt to make fit the needs of the group. Phil’s approach is very different in that he invests time and effort meeting with the client/sponsor to ensure he fully understands the need and what is truly required. He then designs a specific course which satisfies the need exactly. As a result the outcome of the course is happy motivated people who leave with the skills to perform their job having been enhanced.”
