"The Train the Trainer course was a real treasure trove of ideas and practical tools to make training sessions more engaging. One of the best training courses I’ve ever attended."
Rhianne Green, The Children’s Society
"It was absolutely wonderful. I really wasn't sure what I was going to get out of it as I haven't yet started any in person or online training. I came away excited and armed with so many ideas I just can't wait to start putting them into practice!"
Harriet Evans, Harriet Evans OBM
"This might be the best training that I have attended. Annie is a fabulous, inspiring and very engaging trainer! I went away with so many great ideas for enhancing my trainings, so many that I now need to allocate some time to going back through all my notes and mapping out what I can utilise to enhance my own training delivery!"
Hannah Sansom, Reset
"This programme was a fantastic opportunity to discover the many ways that training can be facilitated to suit all audiences. The group was a diverse combination of people who were new to training as well as those who were looking to refresh their skills, which made it a good working environment. Annie is an amazing facilitator and is always on hand to support you in any way. I would highly recommend this programme to anybody interested!"
Grace Dodson, Marie Curie
“There wasn’t any aspect of course planning or delivery that Annie couldn’t help with and her advice left me feeling confident and inspired to run some really engaging and useful sessions. I’m not a natural at delivering training but Annie’s Train the Trainer has meant that I’ve been able to confidently deliver training that’s been both effective in achieving the required learning objectives and yielded positive feedback from delegates”
Ben Shewry, The Children’s Society
Annie's Training Compony is thoughtful, encouraging and patient. Providing practical support and a truly professional consultative service. Many employees did not know what to expect from the outplacement service. The feedback was that the consultants they met were welcoming, non judgemental and a huge help in supporting them with their next steps and job searched. An example of feedback... "The advice and guidance provided was brilliant - professional yet friendly and I felt very supported." Thank you Annie, for working with Versus Arthritis to ensure the right level of support was available to those staff leaving the organisation and those moving into new roles.
Francisca Ohene-Djan - Head of People Business Partners
Annie and her brilliant team worked on the successful delivery of a range of competency training sessions for Target Ovarian Cancer. We were absolutely thrilled with the feedback and results, and the way in which Annie really understood the brief and us as an organisation. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Annie for your learning and development needs, she is amazing!
Susan Booth - Target Ovarian Cancer
I asked Annie to design and deliver away days for my team, to support us to co-create a new team purpose, remit and ways of working. Annie's approach enabled us overcome some quite complex challenges to quickly arrive at solutions. The experience working with Annie was fantastic from start to finish - she rapidly developed an excellent understanding of the team and organisation, what we wanted to achieve and how to deliver it. Annie designed and delivered away days that used a broad range of engaging tools and techniques to ensure an inclusive environment, which catered for all learning styles. Annie was also brilliant at working flexibly to seamlessly adapt the agenda and her techniques throughout the day, meaning she was always able to respond to emerging needs. Annie's energy was infectious and the whole team found the away days incredibly valuable. I cannot recommend Annie enough!
Katie Wood - British Red Cross
Having worked with Annie in my last role, I was delighted to invite Annie once again to work with me, The Exec Team and Trustees in co-designing our new strategic plan. Annie and the team are innovative, supportive, organised, yet challenging and creative - getting us to place of internal agreement on our exciting strategic ambitions for the future. I look forward to continuing my relationship of working with Annie and team, and have no hesitation in recommending you all get in contact with her to discuss how she can support both your organisation and personal development! Thanks Annie and all in the training team.
Declan Carroll - Chief Executive Officer at North London Hospice
I approached Annie to deliver some training to my team on Training Remotely. I had quite specific requirements and constraints, including budget, which I was concerned might limit what was reasonably possible. However, Annie and her team were hugely flexible and accommodating, providing a number of thoughtful and useful extra support tools alongside the training session itself, including alternative formats, e-learning options and other digital assets. Feedback from participants on the training session and accompanying resources has been overwhelmingly positive and I can't help but feel we've had extraordinary value for money working with Annie. I'm very happy to recommend her to others and would definitely work with her again. Thank you Annie and team for a quality experience
Rosie Weatherley - Information Content Manager at Mind
Sometimes it's hard to find clarity on your own, and so it's important to turn to someone else to get a bigger picture view of your work. I turned to Annie exactly for this reason, and after an hour of coaching with her, I had newfound clarity and understanding around my training business, which will feed into my training courses, on- and off-line. I've worked with Annie before, and she has a real talent for getting to the heart of things in a clear and focused way. So she was the natural choice! If you're a trainer, and you want some really stellar guidance, then I really recommend a session with Annie!
Jasmine Gartner
I recently asked Annie for some 1:1 training to help me refresh my workshop preparation and facilitation skills. We had two online sessions, which I found absolutely invaluable. Annie has a lovely delivery style and walks the talk during her training, which enabled me to see how she puts many of her top tips into practice. The 1:1 approach worked well for me as I had some very specific questions for Annie and areas that I wanted to work on. Annie was flexible with the content, which felt very tailored for my needs. She’s incredibly creative and recommended some fantastic new models and approaches for me to put into practice, alongside providing practical advice on how to respond to the current need to shift workshops online. If you’re thinking of sharpening up your training and facilitation skills, I highly recommend talking to Annie.
Sarah Eite, Fundraising Consultant
As part of my accreditation for becoming a trainer for the Institute of Risk Management, I was given some wonderful advice by Annie Clarke on my delivery of risk management material and effectively engaging participants during face-to-face training. Having now been thrown into the deep end of online education, training and general business communications, I was delighted to be supported again by Annie through a brilliant, practical and personal online training session on how to reach out to students, delegates and attendees virtually. Thanks Annie 🙂
Kate Boothroyd
I recently spent e-time with Annie getting her expert advice on how to run a Train the Trainer” programme online. I previously worked with Annie and have always found her advice – simple, focussed, expert and on-the-ball. I will continue to engage with Annie in the weeks and years ahead. Annie is a REAL EXPERT
John Crawley
Annie was an inspiration! The training was fun, interactive and brought the whole team together. It gave us all a better understanding of how we approach tasks and work in different ways within the office. The information was presented in an engaging and refreshing way giving everyone the opportunity to be open, honest and have fun. Thank you, Annie
Margaret Hannibal Mosaic Family Support CEO
Working with Annie has been a total pleasure and a lot of fun, right from the get go she has a unique ability to ask the right questions and listen to what needed help in order to shape the perfect day to achieve our outcomes. The team, as a result, felt like they had really moved on. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Annie to anyone wanting a safe pair of hands to plan and facilitate team development.
Nikki Pawsey, Director of Supporter Communities and Groups at The Children’s Society
I have been fortunate to work with Annie in two roles, but even more closely over the past 2 years when we appointed Annie to support development of training for volunteers at England Athletics. Annie and her company are not only a joy to work with, with clear passion for what they do, but she and her team bring truly innovative and impactful methods into their training development. I cannot thank Annie enough for opening my eyes to how much doing things differently and thinking creatively can have a huge impact on making your training memorable and impactful. Thank you Annie and cannot wait to work with you again in the future!
Kerry Marland-Reay, Organisational Lead for Volunteering at England Athletics
Annie runs a number of very well received programmes at MarieCurie UK including Train The Trainer and Introduction to Mindfulness. These programmes are highly interactive and encourage our staff to develop their skills in a challenging but safe environment.
Geoff Speed, Head of Learning and Development, Marie Curie Cancer Care
"Annie provided a fantastic train-the-trainer session for us and from start to finish it was packed with ideas, tips, techniques, references and instructions to create brain friendly training events. Annie is full of energy and her enthusiasm for what she provides is really infectious. This ensured the session was not only great in terms of learning but also fabulous fun. I can wholly recommend Annie to anyone seeking to invigorate their training sessions to ensure everyone attending is fully engaged and therefore leaves having learnt through enjoyment.”
- Geoff Parkin, Compliance and Risk Manager at Alltech
I highly recommend working with Annie on any workplace and professional development learning. She brings a wealth of knowledge and experience and works collaboratively to develop well-structured training programmes with engaging content. She is open to feedback and shaping training to meet the specific needs of individuals and groups. Annie's has a creative, supportive and motivating facilitation style and I have learnt a lot from her that I use on a daily basis in my approach to meetings and workshops.
Karen Bolton, Head of Community and Events Fundraising, Marketing and Innovation at Mind.
When you can’t see the wood for the trees and you need someone to inspire, co-ordinate, plan and deliver a workshop then I’m delighted I contacted Annie. Her facilitation skills enabled my team to focus, create an action plan and really maximise the time we had in the workshop. I particularly loved the team development that was included:using business models, creative thinking tools and best practice training techniques. Thank you Annie for helping us at Unicef UK to help even more children in danger.
Gillian Claugher, Marketing Manager, UNICEF
Annie is an excellent, knowledgeable and friendly trainer. She provides us with interactive, upbeat, group participation Resilience workshops which she always makes interesting and engaging. She is brilliant at making people feel comfortable through her passionate approach and creative ideas. We get excellent feedback from all levels of people and would highly recommend Annie.
Maria Johnson, Learning & Development Executive, The Wrekin Housing Trust
Annie's training has been invaluable to our business, work with the Directors on our five year strategy planning days and more recently with our managers has resulted in a more aligned and cohesive team. A supremely effective facilitator with a very approachable style means great output from the teams, all of this equates to a positive and comprehensive training session and in turn great value for money.
Heath Blackford, MD, Brindisa
Having worked with Annie at two organisations now I am always so impressed by her professionalism and her creativity. She has a fantastic ability to make training fun, accessible to all and of real benefit to delegates. I have asked her on a number of occasions to run training for members of my department and she never fails to ensure my teams receive high quality development that in turn always benefits their business as usual.
Debbie Hill, Head of Volunteering, Marie Curie Cancer Care
Annie has been working for us as a freelancer for nearly a year. Aside from being an excellent trainer, she manages to achieve a great sense of balance between professionalism and warmth. She is a great member of our team when working collaboratively, displaying the same innovative and supportive approach that I have also seen when observing her training on her own. She is always well-prepared, has considerable knowledge and skill as someone who is able to write and deliver her own courses as well as delivering content for other organisations. She is well-liked by both customers and members of our team and we would not hesitate to recommend her!
Sally Good, Chief Operating Officer, EViDENCE to iMPACT
Annie is one of the best trainers I have come across. Annie takes time to understand the learning needs, designs and develops learning interventions that are highly engaging and enables learners to implement what they’ve learnt. I would thoroughly recommend Annie - she is great at working with people at all levels, is a fantastic coach and delivers great learning events.
Nikki Clack, Head of Learning and Development, The Children’s Society
THINK has used Annie on several occasions to deliver team building and personal effectiveness sessions during our Forums. Her sessions are always action orientated and a lot of fun. And we've had great feedback from participants. I would recommend her to anyone wanting an effective and thoroughly enjoyable learning and development experience.
Michelle Chambers, Managing Director and THINK Consulting
Annie is simply wonderful at what she does! Her sessions are tailored specifically to the needs of those attending and you really feel like you are getting the very best possible material. Her style of training makes the sessions relaxed and enjoyable, while being packed full of really inspiring content. I would wholeheartedly recommend Annie to anyone!
Hannah Edyvean, Director, PWAR Creative and POSable Ltd
Annie is an excellent and natural trainer. She creates a warm, relaxed and professional environment in order for those attending her training to learn (regardless of their preferred learning style). I attended a training course Annie was delivering previous to starting my current role. It was really enjoyable and I found the day so practical in terms of being able to implement learning from it in my day to day work. When thinking of commissioning a provider to kick start some training for our Central Services teams Annie naturally came to mind. It is a great experience working with Annie; she has a great sense of humour and takes the time to tailor training to the needs of those attending. She is always full of creative ideas and approaches. Annie is a fountain of knowledge and I would highly recommend working with her!
