A collection of comments from our clients:
- I have now received the delegate assessment sheets, and I am pleased to say that they are very positive. All the grades were either ‘excellent’ or ‘good’ and a number of appreciative comments were made including: Some interesting ideas, and excellent and informative. Thank you
Fiona Burden, for Kent Law Society - I attended a performance management Course by Patricia Wheatley Burke and found it to be extremely useful and motivating. She is an inspirational speaker who is very informative. The talk was thought provoking and has given us lots of ideas in order to try and move our business forward. I would definitely attend another course by Patricia in future.
Rebecca Bell - Pengelly & Rylands - "I attended a seminar at which Patricia was a key note speaker. I was particularly impressed by her innovative approach, thought provoking content and her cheeky and at time mischevious manner. Patricia certainly grabbed everyone's attention. This lady packs a punch and I would not hesitate to consult her whenever her expertise might be of help to my business."

- 'At TL Risk Solutions we have been focusing on building the quality and range of advice and support we provide our clients, who range from high net worth private individuals through to major corporates. Part of our strategy has been to build the skills and abilities of our Sales consultants, helping them recognise the distinction between providing a traditionally sold ‘product range’ of services moving to offering businesses focused advice. Patricia Wheatley Burt has helped us considerably by running a range of inspirational and tailored modular programmes over the last 18 months which is having a major impact on our ability to provide real value added services to our clients to mutual benefit.
We very much enjoyed the opportunity of working with Patricia and look forward to continuing the relationship in the coming years.'

- 'Lifeways Community Care has grown at a phenomenal rate over the last two to three years, and this culminated in a management buyout in July 2007. As a result of this we put together a very ambitious reorganisation of HR and Management teams in all 24 offices around the UK which Patricia Wheatley Burt and her team of consultants from Trafalgar the People Business helped with considerably. The energy, enthusiasm and relentless positive attitude of her and her team has enabled us to achieve our targets with some major cost savings and improvements in the services we provide to those who want to live independent lives in the community.
We very much appreciated the efforts Patricia and her team put in, including large hours to deliver across all our offices in a coherent and coordinated manner through Patricia’s excellent project management skills. We are delighted with the results and ongoing support from Patricia and her team.'
