Lesley
Co-Founder
Part trainer, part coach and part therapist, I support and guide my clients at each step along the journey, drawing on the many disciplines I have trained in.
It is an honour to walk this path with people, knowing that their development and growth not only positively impacts their lives, but also the lives of all those they work with, live with, and love.”
Lesley Foley has a background in education and has been on a lifelong journey of transformation. Her work draws from Nonviolent Communication, Neuro-Linguistic Programming, The Enneagram, and EFT and Matrix Reimprinting energy techniques.
In her spare time, she can be found curled up somewhere comfortable with a good book, walking in the forest or spending precious time with her husband and children.
Steve
Associate Trainer
Steve knows a good manager can increase productivity by as much as 40%, they are the ones who demonstrate more leadership skills than management skills.
Leadership is about getting the best out of people, management is about getting the task completed.
Steve has trained many thousands of managers and his experience has shown that anyone can learn to be a leader.
The skills required are not a mystery, they can be defined, demonstrated, learned and developed irrespective of the personality of the individual.
Steve takes the structured approach of professional sports team leaders and, combined with proven business models, he inspires and educates those tasked with getting results through others.
"I use sporting analogies and examples because I have seen first hand how powerful the motivation and development techniques are and I want others to see how they can use the same methods in business to achieve amazing results".
David
Associate Trainer
By incrementally improving the cognitive performance, emotional well-being and mental health of each and every employee, businesses are able to reduce costs, improve morale and increase productivity.
Before founding DRM Group, David served as a Royal Marine for 15 years and was trained in Trauma Risk Management. Now a renowned Psychotherapist, he has combined years of research with clinical and commercial insight to develop 'Cognitive Performance Approach' (CPA), a unique and effective corporate stress management system. CPA empowers and equips an organisations’ management team by providing them with a true understanding of why and how we feel and behave; practical techniques to help people improve and an infrastructure of support and resources, so that they can drive lasting positive change from within.
Ian
Associate Trainer
Ian believes that effective teams impact the world and make it a better place and we should waste no time equipping great leaders to inspire their teams and nurture great leaders for tomorrow.
Ian has spent the last 35 years leading large cross-functional and multi-national teams and he has drawn on this successful experience to develop a blueprint to help clients achieve effective teamwork and make £millions in the process!
High performing teams make faster and better decisions, align around common objectives, tap into the skills and opinions of all and they don’t waste time on politics and destructive conflict. They are more fun to work on and deliver better results, quicker.
Building high-performance teams is simpler and cheaper than you might think but does require persistence and hard work.
Whether you want to sharpen up already well-performing teams or transform dysfunctional teams into solid performers, building a culture of effective teamwork will pay massive dividends.
