Client Feedback

“Positive Health Strategies have provided us with invaluable help and support across a range of areas, from strategic advice and direction as we continue to develop our well-being programme to the practical and successful delivery of our innovative and proactive well-being programme, which has been enthusiastically received by our partner team.

 

Like many organisations, we continue to identify where potential problems could arise and the delivery of preventative interventions and support where needed. In the few situations where key members of our team have become victims of stress, Positive Health Strategies have provided timely, personal and tailored support which has minimised downtime and produced overwhelmingly positive responses from those involved.”

Working with the BBC Coaching Network: February 2007 
 
Dr Brian Marien ran a very well received session for the BBC's Coaching Network. He is very skilled in translating scientific complexities for a lay audience and has a fantastic ability to draw insights from the participants in a highly interactive way. This has proved one of the most popular continuous professional development workshops run to date for a demanding audience and we hope Brian will work with us again later in the year to extend our understanding of how cognitive theory can inform our practice as coaches.

The inspiring thought is that the real value of CBT isn't in its potential for 'fixing' people with work-related stress problems - but in its power to help everyone become more connected and productive, inside and outside of work. Dr Brian Marien has an inspiring vision. We count ourselves amongst his enthusiastic supporters. The response from our attendees has been similarly enthusiastic - 'thought provoking', 'captivating', and highly 'informative'.

At the Institute of Postgraduate Medicine in Brighton, Brian has lectured on several different Masters programmes and the feedback has been uniformly excellent. He has been very influential in our Personal Development module, and the students have referenced his work in their assignments. His sessions are always very well-received and the feedback is equally good from non-clinicians as clinicians. He is an excellent facilitator and teacher.

'We asked Brian to co-present a seminar on stress management to our clients in the financial and professional services sector. We were very impressed with his command of the subject and also in the way in which he delivered it, which was never dull and had the audience asking many questions. Based on the extremely positive feedback we received, we have asked Brian to present further seminars in the future.'

'From our perspective, the programme was a great success. As a group of highly pressurised professionals, we all attended every session. If the sessions had not lived up to expectations we would not have continued with them in our valuable professional time. The positive impact has extended beyond the programme, and as a department, we have become a more unified team. We enjoyed the programme, learned much and hopefully will maintain the positive gains made'.

'Interesting and stimulating. You learn something new and become more enthusiastic and curious about the subject'
