Our Client Feedback

There was a gentle and profound impact on the way I choose to run my life and business after Double Loop Learning. We have a choice and with that choice operate at the level we do, with the tools of the course we can improve our understanding and thereby improve our working and personal lives.
J. Hulbert, Entrepreneur
The Double Loop Leadership programme was very thought-provoking and challenging. Mike and Gill are real experts and have developed an extremely  powerful theoretical base. It is one of the best approaches I have come across in behavioural psychology, team development and culture change.
Mike Turner, MD Professional Services
I feel empowered, clearer on a business situation I experienced and how I could deal with that, and other future situations differently. 
It made me think about how I interpret and react to things and the reasons behind why I do this. Definitely food for thought....and I’ll be more taking action!
