"Rob creates the ideal conditions for exceptional thinking both because he is a widely respected master of Thinking Environment practice, and because as a person he lives and embodies the qualities and skills that help human beings think at their best. I trust him to move any group or individual definitively to their goals and to their best-ever performance, and profoundly to affect the life of each person in the process."

Nancy Kline, President, Time to Think

"Rob Brown brings a new dimension to managing staff and peer interfaces at the executive level. He led the application of some innovative structures to meetings to change the organisational impact.  I saw real improvement in a management team getting the right issues on the table with the right information when Rob was engaged as a coach. He is effective across internal and vendor lines in creating consensus - or handling conflict when that is necessary and productive."

Steve Huntington, Vice President , US EPR Deployment, AREVA NP

"Rob is an extremely professional consultant who is dedicated to ensuring that his work is always of the highest possible standard that he is able to achieve. He is a very creative thinker who has the capacity to empower participants to make a real difference in their working environments. He is totally committed to addressing issues around diversity both proactively and by role modelling best practice through his facilitation skills. Above all, he makes learning a fun and pleasurable experience”

Working with Rob has been a really valuable and eye opening experience and has helped me to understand and bond with my colleagues in a way that I had not previously experienced. Sessions have been really enjoyable and useful - a rare combination."

“Rob Brown has delivered a number of courses to professionals in Norfolk and on all occasions the evaluation and feedback has been exemplary. Having commissioned Rob ’s training and experienced it as a participant, it is clear that he is a premiership facilitator, achieving excellence in whatever he does. I recommend Rob Brown very highly”

"Thank you so much for the 2 days Boys Own Training you did for us in October. It was great to come into the group at the end of the second day and see the engagement and enthusiasm in the group. The participants have spoken so highly of the course both in terms of the content and your excellent facilitation skills.

It feels as if the course will act as a catalyst for staff to explore the wider issues of working with boys and young men across the county so we will be able to build up a skilled team of staff who will act as champions within their own organisations. I look forward to future opportunities to work together”

Feedback from course participants

"This is one of the best courses I have ever been on. Rob kept my attention and I leave feeling energized, motivated and ready to do the work”

"Rob ’s facilitation skills are engaging, encouraging and supportive. The course material has really made me think. How refreshing to find a trainer who helps me think for myself rather than tells me what to think”

"Rob ’s ability to pace the day and keep track of time was really helpful. He also has the amazing skill of being able to keep referring back to things we said earlier on and weave them into the content. This helps reinforce learning”

"I have got lots of practical skills and ideas that I can really use in my work”

"After the public speaking training, I feel I can almost fly, I am stimulated and now excited about the forthcoming prospect”

"WOW! Please come back and work with us again. The training was fun, challenging, interesting and really really useful”

"Rob is so knowledgeable and the way he facilitates and trains is superb. He is an inspiration to all those of us in this field”

“ Thanks Rob , a course full of gems as I would expect”
