Testimonials

Lauren Malone, Liverpool Community Foundation
Jo Clancy and Julia Worthington have supported us at the Community Foundation by creating a ‘Top fundraising Tips’ workshop which covered the main areas of fundraising. The sessions were interactive and exuded professionalism yet were delivered in a fun and easily digestible way. We thank you for your support and commitment and delivering a training session that was imperative to community groups and charities throughout Merseyside and Lancashire.

Andy Butterworth – Accounts Director
The amount of conflict in our office has reduced considerably.
I think it is because I am taking the time to find out what makes the staff tick.
By supporting them they are more co-operative and want to come to work.
As a result the number of enquiries we are getting through has increased.
Thanks Jo – I’ll be back for more!

Anne Lamb – Business Manager, NHS
Being new to my organisation, I needed to build an effective and confident management team quickly – Jo listened to my requirements and built a bespoke package taking into account the issues our staff faced in a highly pressurized and stressful environment. She addressed the challenges head on with a professional, flexible and friendly approach, facilitating a leadership course which ensured that our team came away inspired and equipped with a broad range of management skills to build on. I cannot recommend Jo highly enough and commend her on the value this programme adds to any organization that understands the importance of effective management.

Nikki Bolshaw – Service Account Manager– Marks & Spencers Plc
Jo was given a very small brief from us yet asked questions about the team and the business to make sure she understood what our aims were. Despite the small brief, Jo was able to hold a session in her relaxed yet focused style with well-prepared content and tools to help us. There was a good mix between learning, group discussion and case studies to keep us interested.

Elaine Roscoe – Muir Group Housing
Change Management, Developing Motivated Teams & Absence Management January -March 2011
Jo recently ran some in house management development courses for us which were very well received - one manager reported that she was 'one of the best trainers we have ever had!!!' Jo really is a fantastic trainer and knows how to motivate delegates to learn. Her course material was very well tailored to our business needs. I have no hesitation in recommending Jo.

Michelle Fellowes – Ambitious Change
“I recently attend the Networking with Confidence course run by Jo Clancy, which is designed to build upon and refine your business networking skills. I found the course enjoyable but more so it has really helped me to think about my personal strategy and plan for networking. I now have some greats tips for preparing, working the room and following up more effectively, and this has enabled me to take my networking skills to the next level and I can already see the positive impact this is having. I would recommend this course to both new and existing networkers. Thanks Jo"

Laura O'Hare - Employment Law Solicitor, Aaron & Partners
Jo has provided marketing training to Aaron and Partners where I am a Consultant solicitor. She approached the training session with a fresh look and made me think of areas that I had not previously considered. Jo's course contained a lot of practical application and involved group working which enabled us to share ideas. I went away with a list of marketing objectives which I had not previously considered. Jo is extremely personable and competent Trainer. She certainly provides a quality and thorough course. I would certainly be willing to recommend her.

Melanie Mills – Director of Fundraising, Donna Louise Children's Hospice
Jo Clancy has provided numerous training and workshop sessions for my team. Her sessions are professional, enjoyable and memorable and have provided us real life practical tools. I would recommend Jo Clancy.

Emma Robinson- Muir Group.
I have attended four of Jo's training courses and found each one to be challenging, informative, thought provoking and above all fun! I was so impressed by her approach that I asked her to help me deliver a Team Away Day for my staff. I met with Jo and gave a very brief overview of what I wanted to achieve. She came back with some fantastic ideas and as a result the day was a complete success. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Jo.

Alison Brennan – DTM Legal LLP
Clancy Connection provided DTM Legal LLP with a bespoke 2.5 hour training session on "becoming a confident networker" in December 2011. Jo was a pleasure to deal with and met with me in advance to discuss the areas we wanted covering resulting in a very relevant and useful training session. Everyone who attended enjoyed the session and got a lot from it, not least because it facilitated most of the fee earners in the firm sitting down together to share their experiences and ideas, something which rarely happens otherwise. Jo was a fun and approachable trainer and it proved to be an enlightening session not to mention an economical way of getting everyone some CPD points! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Clancy Connection.

Amanda Trevor – Tritech
I would highly recommend Jo for Management and Leadership Training. She has a natural ability to put people at ease and make training fun yet professional. She is highly flexible in her approach and will design bespoke training to meet the customers needs.
