"It is unusual to work with a professional who can capture - and evolve - such leading edge ideas, and create the desired output. Sue has designed and presented high quality material for others in the company to run with which has exceeded our highest expectations and proved invaluable. Perhaps the highest endorsement of her delivery is the fact that I use these materials myself. Sue Gravells has a quite exceptional capability for facilitating remarkable, speedy and transformational change with clients who have often been unable to achieve their full potential - despite years of coaching with other practitioners". Dr Alex Concorde, Director of Research, Development and Client Services, the Concorde Initiative.
"During my time as VP Project Manager, Amersham PLC, Sue was instrumental in helping realise my broad vision of a community of Project Coaches with great behavioural and coaching skills that worked to optimise the performance of our R&D project portfolio. She established clear expectations and firm deliverables and then worked tirelessly to devise and lead a one-of-a-kind development journey for the six successful volunteers. I have valued Sue's ever-present vitality, creativity and human insights over the past 6 years." Mike Waterhouse
