Bio
Scott Wilkins
Steve was one of the most helpful and supportive trainersI have worked with. Steve personally help me with overcoming my fears and coaching me through the process to help me become a better presenter and speaker. Steve also helped write and produce one of the best sales training courses I have seen in the powered access industries.

I had the pleasure of Steve being a delegate on a Leadership and Business Improvement Training Programme I was delivering. Right from the minute I met him I could tell he was an excellent communicator, confident leader and very knowledgeable. He proved to be superb in supporting others, always happy to learn new skills and different learning styles and we enjoyed some excellent reflective conversations. He would make full use of the time between sessions to try out his new knowledge, maximising the ability to drive change and challenge the conventional way of working. Whilst this programme was in a different industry, Steve was always happy to see how these new skills could be related to his industry, demonstrating a real passion for making things better. His enthusiasm was infection, which made for a great team dynamic and I look forward to seeing his continued development.
