What our clients say

“A completely new perspective on leadership and what it means to be a leader.”
 – Kerry Isherwood, HR Manager, Macmillan Cancer Support

“What I mostly appreciate about Tuff Leadership Training is their hands-on, practical training that makes a difference in behaviour immediately.
Tuff is always on my top three list because they are very passionate about contributing to better workplaces by breaking traditional mindsets about leaders and employees and instead empower everyone to be responsible and contribute.”
– Eva Lorentzon, formerly Learning & Development Specialist at Sony Mobile

“It’s hard to shift from predictable machinery to new ways and Tuff Leadership Training helps at the most challenging level for this: individually.”
– Perry Timms, author of Transformational HR and TEDx speaker

“The real results are that people are happy with the training and they want more. They use it. They have all benefited from it personally and they all grew in the “know thyself” department. And I think that that’s what it’s all about.”
– Lotta Croiset van Uchelen Feberwee, Chief DNA Officer, Schuberg Philis, Netherlands

    — Gustav Henman, CFO and Founder, Beetroot, Ukraine
  • “If you want to be agile, no matter how you do it, it all comes down to whether colleagues are open...whether they are appreciative with one another and help each other, and get the feeling that they are helped. What the Tuff Leadership Training does is about making sure that everything under the surface is being talked about and OK to be there. What it also does very well are the hard conversations. Not a lot of people are able to have real conversations, to give real feedback to colleagues.”

  • “The most magical days I've spent with the warmest, brightest, loveliest people in quite some time. Alvin Toffler wrote in “Future Shock” that a strong skill in the future will be Learn, Unlearn, Relearn. This has been the most unlearning and relearning thing I’ve ever experienced. Deeply moving learning experience and philosophy for leaders.”
    — Perry Timms, author, TEDx speaker, & founder of PTHR, UK
  • “Not an easy ride, but a challenging, thought provoking experience that will make you want to explore your potential.”
    — Stephen Holman, Head of Technical Support, Holmen
