"Caroline Montagu is a leading Management Consultant who has provided expert consulting to Weber Shandwick at the CEO, Executive and Leadership level over the last three years. Most notably this year Caroline has worked very closely with us to help improve our leadership capability, strategic thinking and excellence in execution. In particular Caroline has been integral in helping design development interventions in conjunction with the CEO and Group Talent Director. We have focused on improving our Executive team’s ability to spot emerging commercial opportunities both internal and external, that will help us become more creative and differentiated over the medium and long term. We have also focused on concrete business objectives with deliverables and have become more adept at managing the change and transition process as a result. Our key outcome is one of improved organisational performance, a better networked leadership team and more personal commitment to organizational performance through group, individual and leadership activity. One example being a major focus on the theme of collaboration that has resulted in an agreed process across all our divisions to exploit organic and new business growth opportunities that will be cascaded throughout the organization at all levels. We see this as a very positive outcome. Caroline has facilitated lively, interactive sessions where leaders have freely expressed ideas and thoughts, have constructively challenged one another and personally developed action plans that have been followed up during the course of the year. We look forward to future working with Caroline."

"Caroline, I just wanted to express my thanks for the course yesterday. I really enjoyed it, and whilst the concepts were familiar, it did give me a wider view of coaching, and how to apply the additional skills during mentoring. As I am an activist, as you would expect I have already sent a few emails and put a few things in place this morning.
I also made some great contacts who will be instrumental in me progressing my career and I feel very optimistic and excited about the prospects ahead. You certainly added to that enthusiasm with your positive, engaging and dare I say it exuberant style! I can’t remember when I have enjoyed a course so much!"

Trudy Branton, Training & Quality Control Co-ordinator. Allianz

"Thank you so much for a fabulous days training yesterday – the feedback has been excellent from all attendees and I sense a real sense of urgency now to meet the planned objectives – not least on my part.
On a personal level can I thank you as having read the overall objectives for my team I feel that many of the areas that I am currently addressing with them will now be much easier to manage and steer having given them the vision to see how they can achieve their own goals whilst also adding value to the business. It will enable us to take a very good team to an even higher level."

Maxine Reeves, Head of Retail, East Ltd

"Hi Caroline, Just a quick note (feedback ?!) to say how impressed I was by your coaching course. I've attended a dozen or more management training courses over the years and as an old cynic was not exactly looking forward to your course with any particular relish! However yours was the first which held my attention for more than a couple of hours ,let alone 2 days, and for once I came away feeling that it was valuable time very well spent."

Jonathan Crookes, Manager and Principal Solicitor, Transcare Law, Arriva Group

"Big thank you from me too Caroline. The course was excellent and fun. I think it will change my life!"
