Leadership Development Intensive (LDI)
	“The LDI is one of the best things we have ever done for ourselves, our relationship, and our company.” Phillip and Jackie Mills, Les Mills International, New Zealand. Phillip Mills was named Entrepreneur of the Year, 2004.
	“I thought that both the LDI and Robyn’s leadership of it were truly excellent.” Rupert Wilson, Managing Partner, Chapman Tripp.
	“Some years ago I participated in the Leadership Development Intensive facilitated by Robyn Wynne-Lewis . I am an ex police officer, long time business owner and now teach personal development programmes (including leadership courses) in a wide variety of circumstances myself. Leaders know when they need to be ‘stretched’, because their integrity tells them - lest they get stale and complacent. This was the situation for me when I attended Robyn’s course. I needed to change gears. I knew I would need savvy course leaders that I wasn’t sitting there judging if I was to make any progress. People who understood the more subtle challenges and profundities of true leadership, and I was not disappointed. All the pre-course organization was flawless, the environment was as close to perfect as I could have hoped for and the actual programme benefited me and my business significantly. There was genuine interest in the follow-up that was given. I sensed strongly my interests were important to Robyn. In particular, Robyn was able to access my own ‘stretch’ points very well. I was treated most respectfully and felt fully supported as I faced and dealt with some not particularly comfortable truths about myself. This was not the aim of the course at all. In fact it arose most unexpectedly, I believe because the space I was in could deal with such situations. I believe anything could have arisen and been dealt with professionally and effectively in the safest possible way. Robyn Wynne Lewis has a great ‘way with people’ She can build rapport with a wide variety of participants and with good humour and practical lessons, she facilitated our entire group masterfully.” Amanda Fleming, Principal, Presenter at Large Ltd.
	“The LDI is one of the most outstanding personal leadership courses that I have ever been on. It is not just a training programme – it is an experience. I think the LDI is highly suited to individuals seeking to deepen their personal leadership capacity, and also to organisations looking for ways to harness theirpeople’s potential (and so their bottom line) through personal development. ” Ruth Donde, Results Coaching Systems, Auckland.
	LDI Refresher
	“I have attended the LDI and an LDI Refresher, and both courses have had a huge impact on me personally and have completely changed my consultation technique. This work has given me a new perspective on human relationships, and a deeper understanding of myself and therefore also of other people. I am more focussed, more powerful, and more fulfilled in my working life and in fact every aspect of my life. Irecommend this work as the best investment I have ever made in myself. ” Dr David McKenzie, General Practitioner, Auckland.
	“I first did the LDI in December 2006, along with 6 colleagues from Les Mills International. I got tremendous personal insight from this, and I can truly say that it was a life-changing experience for me. Eight months later I did a refresher with my partner at the time (now my husband!), Steve, who had been through the LDI as well (5 years before me!). I still got the same amount out of it! I have recently completed my second LDI refresher. I think this course is awesome and I would do it again andagain. The LDI has been the most liberating thing I have done in my adult life.” Susan Renata, International Master Trainer, Les Mills International.
	Executive LDI
	“My partner and I did an Executive LDI when we realised that old patterns were preventing growth in our relationship. The LDI gave us the tools to ‘break the code’ and have a fulfilling and healthy partnership.” Marian Wrenn, Hawke's Bay.
	Leadership for Women
	“This has been the best training course of my life” Suzi Henwood, Service Manager, Gen-i.
	“This course has provided me not only with skills that I use every day at work, but also with deep insights into my personal style that are having a huge impact on how I conduct myself as a leader and also as a human being.” Carmen Gravatt, Campaigns Manager, Greenpeace.
	Developing School Leaders
	“For four years Robyn Wynne-Lewis has facilitated our ten school prefects in leadership training. On each occasion the prefects offered very positive feedback about the content, delivery and sense of fun. They expressed many advantages about the workshops and felt totally able to undertake their roles with confidence afterwards.” Roz Mexted, Principal, Nga Tawa (Wellington Diocesan for Girls), Marton.
	“It was a great experience and overall an educational, fun and useful course with tools I am going to apply throughout my year as a prefect and my life.”
	“Very interesting range of activities – all really worthwhile.”
	“…The facilitators were inspiring and awesome!!” Comments from students.
	Staff Training and Development
	“Our council used Core Consulting to facilitate an internal Leadership Development Programme that was initially attended by our executive team, and subsequently rolled out to third tier management. The content, professional delivery and most importantly the follow up successfully met or exceeded our needs and expectations as an organisation and made a positive difference. The course challenges and the variety of tools provided were well received by even the most sceptical of our leadership team who, without exception, believe they have benefitted from this leadership development programme.” Viv Moule, Human Resources Manager, Hawkes Bay Regional Council.
	“Robyn ran a series of "Leadership and Culture" workshops for our group of companies in 2006. We had had exposure to Robyn and Core Consulting before, in the public arena, where we were very impressed by her and so we decided to contract Robyn to assist with the development of our leadership teams. Our company is passionate about leadership development and personal growth. We had a number of programmes in place before we contracted Robyn. The workshops were a great success; all participants were giving of their praise for the way in which the sessions where conducted and the very positive outcomes. The sessions were such a success it is our intention to discontinue most of our existing programmes and use Robyn further. Core Consulting met our tight timeframes and budget, were professional, a pleasure to work with and have continued to give feedback and advice to management and participants outside of the original commitment.” Allister Macgregor, Chief Executive, Geni Southland, Hawkes Bay and Bay of Plenty.
	"My view is simple – there are management/ leadership courses and then there is CORE Consulting. We investigated five providers before undertaking an in-house course for our managers with CORE. Most, in my view, were predictable; in a sense the 'usual stuff' - delegation, motivation, building effective teams etc. CORE's approach is quite different; focusing on the key issues of leadership and mapping that to the behaviour patterns of the individual manager. Our effectiveness as leaders is heavily influenced by our individual learned behaviours and personality traits and rather than just give us a series of techniques to be good leaders (one size fits all) CORE Consulting asked each of us to look at ourselves and challenged us to think through why we react in certain ways as leaders, showed us a better way and then gave us then the keys to change our leadership style. This course was outstanding - you couldn't have designed a course better for individual managers to get to learn about each other and to begin to meld better as a team". Andy Walker, Managing Director, Adplus Communications, Napier.
	Coaching
	“I had one-on-one coaching sessions with Robyn Wynne-Lewis of Core Consulting over a 12-month period. I found Robyn to be excellent in this role. She combines intelligence, skill, warmth, humour and insight with a high degree of professional integrity. The sessions have been invaluable, and I would highly recommend Robyn to anyone seeking personal or professional leadership coaching.” Craig Kelt, Director, Kelt Management Ltd, Hastings.
	“I recently had the opportunity to participate in a Core Consulting training initiative which was excellent and developed a range of valuable tools and concepts. However what set it apart from the many other courses I have completed was the one to one coaching offered post course. For many of us today it is not our technical skills that primarily drive team or organisational success but rather it is our interpersonal skills. Our ability to communicate, negotiate and constructively manage  interpersonal scenarios weaves throughout the fabric of our professional and personal lives. Hayley's ability as a coach to help me understand the main personal and professional barriers to my high level performance in this area was really impressive. While fundamentally its about understanding your personal drivers and behaviours, building a deep insight into this in a relatively short time is a very powerful experience. Equally impressive was her ability to guide me to understand how the personal life journey can (and should) integrate very successfully with your professional success - another of the constant challenges we face today.” Campbell Leckie, Biosecurity Contracts Co-ordinator, Hawkes Bay Regional Council.
