About World Class Performance

I thought it would be a nice thing, for those of you who dont already know us, to write a bit about who we are, what we do, and what you’re going to find on this blog in the months to come.

Who are World Class Performance?

Well we are a training and coaching company who have been around for nearly a decade (‘since the beginning of the century’ sounds far too long, let alone millenium!)

We run courses for corporates and other organisations, what are often called ‘behavioural skills’ or ‘soft skills’, such as Leadership, Negotiation, Sales, Management, Presentation Skills and so on.

Personally, we dont believe these skills are soft at all! We think being an inspiring leader or a successful negotiator or an award-winning salesperson are pretty-damn high-impact.

Blue-Chip training at SME prices

We call ourselves the Blue-Chip SME. What does this mean? Put simply, you get Blue-Chip training at SME prices.

Like any market, the training industry has a spectrum of suppliers working within it. At one end of the spectrum you have the big guys who, of course, charge big guy prices. And at the other end, there are the one-man bands who are cheaper but may not get you the results you want.

We get you your results but without charging big guy prices.

If you look at our list of clients, they are some of the biggest and most successful companies in the world. We have worked at ‘C’-level or Partner level with some of the most powerful organisations. We know how the best companies work and we know how to improve them further.

Normally, though, the rates for our quality of services puts it beyond the reach of most companies. But we have a low-cost business model that allows us to charge much lower rates, making us accessible to organisations that dont have the same resources as a FTSE 100 entry.

Our low-overhead model enables us to charge less than half the price of our top-end competitors but, crucially, you still get the same high quality results.

That’s us in a nutshell. I’ll go into a bit more detail in some future posts.

    Testimonials

    Exceptionally useful, exceeded my expectations, it has been brilliant. Too many ‘take aways’ to mention. Simon has been brilliant. His style is inspiring.

    L&D manager, IPC Media

    Well presented, thought provoking, stimulating and fun.

    David Goldberg, QC

    Absolutely outstanding.

    Jonathan Jay, M.D. at Nationwide Alliance of Business Owners

    My coaching with Simon was invaluable. He’s a great sounding-board offering practical guidance, building confidence and helping to allay those niggling questions of ‘can I do this?’. Highly recommended!

    AJ, Head of Local Strategic Communications, Office for Security & Counter-Terrorism

    Very practical tools which have immediate application. I love the fact that we were challenged by Simon and made to leave our comfort zones. I didnt expect to learn so much or for the learning to be so beneficial or to enjoy it so thoroughly. Simon was a brilliant trainer.

    L&D manager, Daily Telegraph

    I would like to extend my sincere thanks to you for your session on Negotiation last Saturday. The feedback was simply amazing! It was a privilege that you were able to join us.

    Jan Matern, Director of Emerge Venture Lab at Skoll Centre for Social Entrepreneurship, Said Business School, Oxford University

    Relevant, informative and very enjoyable. Excellent course leader.

    Manager, magic circle law firm

    The day was well planned. The exercises were extremely powerful and the tools that I acquired over the course of the day I have found easy to apply in my everyday life. The course is practical, insightful and challenging and lasts long after the day has ended.

    Shachi Shah, Director of Structured & Investment Products, Deutsche Bank.

    Great overall experience. Lots of practical things to take away and implement. Thanks very much.

    Area manager, Greene King

    Great fun and highly engaging, I would highly recommend this workshop. I assumed the course would not be long enough but the day was enough to achieve my goals and exceed my expectations.

    Field manager, Whitbread Breweries

    I tended to dismiss this sort of thing but the 2 days were great fun, very revealing and absolutely inspiring.

    David Beaumont, film industry consultant.

    I would say that the course I have just undertaken with Simon is probably the best course I have been on to date. I felt inspired and will definitely put into practice the skills I have learnt.

    Jon Watts , Project Manager, Avon & Somerset Police

    I have recommended this course to everyone I know! Simon was incredibly helpful and informative, and I learnt so much.

    Manager, national charity.

    Thanks, absolutely brilliant. Making negotiation sexy is a challenge. But you did.

    Chris Lawrance, Director, JBP PR & Parliamentary Affairs

    Joanna's coaching ensured I achieved a deal way above my walk away in a new contract negotiation recently. For her modest fee, I ensured that I will be paid £11,000 above what I had envisaged over the coming 12 months. I highly recommend her.
