What our clients and customers say
These are fantastic little e-books, very thorough, easy to follow. We’ve used them as support tools for learners on our talent management programmes which has saved me a lot of time and a lot of money. I’d definitely recommend them.
I am designing a new Management Development programme for my company and your Goal Setting guide has really helped. I like the way you introduced material I haven’t seen before (SHARP action) & the tools to apply the learning. The price represents really good value for money and I will be checking out more of your material over the coming months.
Many thanks for the guides. I haven’t yet read them from cover to cover however they strike me as well written. The language is good and the reader looks to be taken on a journey through the topic, encouraging you to read more. I’ll certainly recommend Apex Leadership to any of my colleagues.
Thank you [for the guides] … I really needed them for a course I was delivering today. I just wanted some good examples and liked your material. Thank you sincerely and I will be back on your site … looking at more of your material. Very much appreciate your wonderful customer service.
I am impressed with the tools and activities that assist managers to assess their situation and ask questions about future direction and improvements. Overall, the [guides] create a solid basis for staff development without being too ‘over the top in theory’. A good blend of practicality and theory to help the audience focus on their own results.
The guides have been great. We’re trying to incorporate one of the exercises into a team event tomorrow.
Thank you again for responding so quickly.

I just came across your site while searching for information about time management. You offer a great site for those in need of useful tips, I love your site!
I just discovered your wonderful site…
I found a four article series on your site on self-motivation and thought it would be an excellent resource for our employees. We are currrently in the process of creating a page on our company’s internal intranet for our employees to access links and articles on topics like this.
I just wanted to say what a great site this is! Excellent information to get everything back into perspective.
Find your site very interesting.
Can I use your material in my session … for the high school students in my school who will be the future citizens of my country?
It has been a sincere pleasure to read your great content. Thanks for your time!
I am currently working for an employer pulling together some individual learning and development activities to be used by managers … to improve their skills, knowledge and behaviours in decision making. I am definitely going to be pointing our managers at your site because it is a great source of information … particularly with the free resources.
The information that you provide on “Teamwork” is very good and I would like to use it in a presentation for groups that are having difficulties in forming effective teams.
I …. read your site from one page to another …. I think you’re a genius in problem solving 🙂
Excellent really helpful !!
I am writing a training handbook for my company. May I use the stories on your web page if I give acknowledgement to your site. I find them wonderfully uplifting.
I’ve been researching user-friendly sites related to team building and I just found The-Happy-Manager’s team building resource webpage. This is a great website to visit for anyone searching for team building links!
I love your e-guides.
I’m teaching team leaders and team members 8 Step Problem Solving and found your site very enlightening and useful for my classes!!!
The site is a great idea!!! … by the competitors standards it is top notch … it does feel friendly!!!”
I just added a link to your excellent website from mine! By the way: I was reading your piece on “what great managers know” and I ended up thinking about the old advice to have “strong opinions loosely held”.
That pretty much sums up how leaders should both talk and listen. Cheers.
Shalom, Awesome. Thank you for making this worthful content available on your site. Thank you once again. Have a great day!
… I joke about a lot of this stuff but really do think people take work a little too seriously and it CAN be fun. I think your site is fun … has a good underlying message (and tools! and ideas! and articles! and, and, and!) so I am happily sending it around to all kinds of people.
… I checked out your website – it rocks!
Especially the piece on doing what you love. I liked it so much, I posted it to my link collection.
I visited your page after searching for the keywords “time management work inefficiency” on Google.
The tips (the 4 questions) for clarification of work practices and the steps for combating ‘busyness’ are very useful.
I really appreciate your service.
Thank you, I trawled the net until I found something worth reading about stress and your site ticked all the right boxes for me. Well done.
As part of our Relevant Movement services, I would love to utilize your articles in our coaching process with managers and leaders….
…I would also like to list your website as a link from our website to encourage people to read and learn from your materials….
