Testimonials

Here are some of the great things our clients have said after their experiences with SDI:

 “I’ve had lots of training like this over the years and the SDI is the one that sticks. You can really get your head around it” 
Paul Thompson, Business North Shore, Auckland

“The workshop was really successful – thanks to Lea’s expert coaching prior to me facilitating”  
Kathy O’Keefe, Customer Relationship  Manager, Business Skills Group, The Skills Institute

“All the participants were drinking it in and asking questions and taking notes and saying how much they gained.” 
Cynthia Sleight Meyles (e-mail after running her first SDI session)

"It’s made a really big difference. Now she knows what it’s about and I know what it’s about… It’s all really easy”
Maria Campbell, Manager, DHHS, Tasmania

“SDI is easy for people to understand and relate to. It gives them a non-judgmental way to talk about each other’s behaviour.  It is attractively presented in a way that makes it easy to use after the course.  It helps participants to understand why they find certain people hard to deal with and what to do about it.  I use SDI in Leadership, Team Building and Conflict Management, my clients like it.”
Justus H Lewis, PhD, Transformasia.

“We use SDI in Leadership Development, Conflict Resolution, Negotiation Skills, Influencing Skills and Coaching- for Coaches and Coachees.
All our programs, be they training or coaching, are designed specifically with clients’ needs in mind.  Because of its versatility and applicability for a number of settings, we incorporate SDI at the design stage so that it fits in seamlessly with other components of our programs.  Feedback from our clients is that they are surprised that it is so easy to use yet powerful in its application.”
Mick Walsh. Southbank Management Consultancy.

“I chose SDI because it is far less likely to result in people allocating behaviour styles in handy boxes.  In addition, the 3 stage conflict portion is so powerful and can result in real understanding of where other people are going in their behaviour when under stress.  I am also accredited to deliver other tools but find SDI far more powerful a tool. Some feedback from young adults (i.e. early 20’s) has been outstanding – because they do not have the life experience they often find others behaviour most confusing. SDI enables them, often for the first time to understand that not all people think and behave the same as me.”
Jill Doctor. Priority Management.

“I ran two SDI sessions on Friday, my first ones ever as a sole-flying facilitator, and they were fantastic!!  The feedback has been awesome, so much so that my client is planning more for other teams.”
Heidi Filsell. Yellowstone S.A.
