Testimonials

Dave Noble has conducted a series of individual, team and distributor events for our business based in Hungary. The purpose has been to launch and plan the execution of a regional strategy that the Global Lead Team, (including myself) had constructed. The participants came from France, Italy, Spain, Poland, Slovenia, and Hungary. The distributor work involved participants from Ethiopia, Kenya and Tanzania.

Dave was able to connect with people and establish credibility quickly regardless of cultural background. Some of the work has involved sensitive dynamics, and Dave has demonstrated high flexibility to adapt and meet the needs of the business in “real time”. As the leader of the region I found Dave listened to my brief and was able to custom design a process that would work across my diverse team.

Dave has demonstrated a strong ability to understand business imperatives and brings a formidable array of methods and strategies to impact individuals, the leadership team and the sales/distributor network.

A personal connection and integrity makes Dave a strong business partner for an international business leader.

I have worked with Dave on several projects dating back to 1997/98. In these projects I have been a participant and have been the initiating client for the project. Without exception Dave has been well prepared for the workshops or interventions, creative in the methodology to suit the project, and specific about objectives and goals. His facilitation skills are remarkable and very effective in engaging participants. It seems that Dave has an endless supply of tools to introduce depending the client’s needs. He has gained not only the upmost respect from me, but everyone he has touched during his work here. He has always delivered and exceeded my expectations. His integrity and commitment to deliver value and improve measurable performance is unquestionable.

Dave has just finished facilitating the most powerful and meaningful meeting I’ve ever attended with BHP. I can honestly say I’ve never been more excited about being a leader with BHP. I’ve also never been as confident in myself with regard to my role within the organisation.

My exposure to Dave & what he has taught me will set the tone for how I approach my role, and as a person for the rest of my life.

Kevin

Business Leader, USA

As a newcomer in the role of CIO for a major manufacturing company I inherited a group of disillusioned managers that continued to blame the past for current behaviour. My management style is quite direct but soon experienced difficulties with this and looked for expertise to ‘break’ the mould and set a direction for the future. Through a colleague David Noble was presented to me as an organisational change expert and soon a two-day session was planned to ‘tease out’ the real issues, create a plan together and live this going forward. I was pleasantly surprised with David’s way of pointing to the issues at hand and driving clarity and alignment with full understanding and buy-in. Our session completed several months ago now and we are still picking the fruits of this important change in my department. I recommend engaging David to assist in challenging your future.

Herman Van Krieken

Chief Information Officer

Our organisation had just undergone a major organisational change and we were in financial crisis.

We were a newly formed management team with a short-term goal to achieve an aggressive financial result.

I believe Dave has been very instrumental in helping us become a high performing team and should share in the celebration & responsibility for achieving our goals.

Business Manager, BHP

I feel for probably the first time we as a group have begun to focus on what to do to meet the business goals of the company, looking at finding a direction using our best resource, our people, to achieve the business goals. Because of that experience I am now reassured that instead of going around & around we will actually start to go in one direction together.

David

Business Manager, New Zealand

We began as a group of competent, but individual managers and are coming out of this second session as a cohesive team. It is difficult to describe this transformation or the effect it has had on our company. The dramatically improved financial results are one indication, but I believe pale in comparison next to the real, sustainable, team organisation. Dave has caused this to happen without our knowing, his techniques of questioning & guided discovery are very effective. I fear Dave has awakened a sleeping giant.

Steve

Manager BHP

Dave is very perceptive and has come into our management group and turned us into a high performing team in a very short time. Our business success this year is due in large part to the skills Dave has brought to us.
