"

Sophie Guenebaut, VP Management and Organisation, Groupe SEB

"Thanks a lot to Suzanne and Bruce for this great experience (...)
…a great experience of training, of networking…
…a great opportunity to step back,… and up!
…a chance to look at ourselves, and others in a different way: positive, analytic, open-minded, creative...

I also had great difficulties to come back to 'business as usual', but this is a sign! Thanks to all the team for these 3 days!
"

Bernard Dugelay, VP Marketing Americas, Groupe SEB USA

"I have had both the pleasure and fortune of working with Simon across multiple companies over the past 15 years. He has always taken the time to really understand the subtleties my business, asks challenging questions that uncover truths, and works with me in a way that encourages honest reflection and a healthy vulnerability. As a leader himself I have always found that Simon’s values both as an individual and as a CEO, are echoed across the teams at Value Partnership. Simon has built a flagship business and I look forward to continuing my relationship with him as I map my own growth journey over the next 15 years."

Jon Rissik, CEO Dovetail Games

"I met Value Partnership by referral in 2004 and I’ve been working with them ever since across 4 different financial service organisations. There are not many companies who have steered through the constantly changing world to remain relevant - flexing what Value Partnership offers - cleverly mixing the big corporate with the younger start-up - so the question is not so much why I still use Simon and Value Partnership but why you don’t?"

Andi McCann, Global Design, Business Architecture and Innovation Lead, HSBC

"Without Value Partnership’s support I can truly say that I wouldn’t have achieved what I achieved in my professional life."

Jan Bolz, CEO, Tipico (2011-16) & NED, Flutter Entertainment Plc

"Value Partnership have been a valued and trusted partner with Electronic Arts for 14 years across many of our sites. The work that they have done as coaches, team coaches and as offsite designer and facilitators has been focused on our business needs, of the highest quality and has led to some great outcomes."

Andy Billings, VP Profitable Creativity, Electronic Arts

"Simon and his company, Value Partnership, have provided services on many occasions to Renault and to Lafarge when I was in charge of HR. Working with him was always very positive and effective both for me, for other senior executives as well as for my HR team. Simon is a great coach and deep thinker as well as a highly impactful speaker and facilitator. Training and consulting delivered by Simon and his team has always been very valuable and always addresses the real issues!"

Mike Vereshagin, HR Director, Renault (formerly at Lafarge)

"Having finished Module 2 of the DYLI program - it was like an airstrike ‘BOOOOM’! It was my pleasure to join the great and outstanding program – it was (and I will keep it as) a precious gift for me. Thank you so much for enabling, coaching, leading and energising me!
"

Marc Hennig, Senior Sales Manager Factory Outlets, WMF Group

"My career path is very specific, therefore I used to hold on to many certainties in life, and you have managed to challenge some of those in the course of this program by making me aware of the power of feedback, deep listening and adapting my behaviour & style to others more."

Jean Waku, Innovation Research Group Leader, Groupe SEB

"I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for last week’s session [...] It was truly inspiring and I genuinely enjoyed each and every moment of it. I have attended several trainings before but I can’t recall any of them having such a strong impact! Your professionalism, commitment, energy and kindness were pivotal in making this a great learning experience. I look forward to working with you again in the near future.
"

Sarah Meskell, HR Manager, Groupe SEB Deutschland

"I keep thinking this is an outstanding programme with long term effects. I think about it nearly on a daily basis."

Groupe SEB, DYLI participant, Thomas Leveque

"Value Partnership supported us in finding and establishing our corporate culture. We believe that our culture is the foundation for strong growth in an ever-changing environment. Working with Value Partnership has improved engagement and has taken the productivity and commitment of our team to a whole new level. We look forward to further co-operation with you!"

Thomas Hajek, CEO netinsurer

"Your input, direction, support & help has been excellent! It’s a pleasure to work with you."

Peter Santo, CEO, Tyman plc

"Value Partnership truly live up to their name in EA. They play a vital partnership role and do invaluable work with some of senior teams where they have been a trusted advisor along the path of gaining clarity on where the team wants to go, where they are now and how they will get there. A perfect blend of theory, practical application and logical implementation."

Hilda Barrett, HR Director, EA

"Many thanks again for your great and continued support. You helped the team and me tremendously! I was really proud to see what the Executive team has achieved and I am happy to admit that we never would have achieved this without your support and constant hard work on the group!"

Jan Bolz, CEO Tipico 2011-2016

"I choose to work with Value Partnership for two reasons. One is their flexibility - we worked together to design the approach and secondly they don't use standardised programmes, they use building blocks and help you to leverage them. They ensure there is a strong personal fit. Value Partnership always listen to briefs, focus on objectives and have the experience to drive change. They helped us to make a creative leap that pushed our people to reinvent themselves."

Luc Gaudemard, Executive VP Americas Continental Division, Groupe SEB

"Value Partnership have been a fantastic catalyst in driving improved business performance at Miniclip. As a fast-growing entrepreneurial company, in a very dynamic sector, Simon and his team were quickly able to understand the needs of our business. They helped us to develop a practical framework to improve the effectiveness of the management team and to implement positive change throughout the company."

Rob Small, CEO, Miniclip

"We are a small, not for profit organisation with a big ambition – for our members to see GS1 UK as vital to their success. We realised that for us to do this, we need to make significant changes in our organisation and that it had to start with the executive team. We also knew that we need help to guide us through the transformation process, not only because we all had busy day jobs, but we were all too close to the business as it was now. The challenge for any small company is finding expertise that is affordable and (frankly) good enough. We were very fortunate that we found Value Partnership. Their experience and credentials are very impressive of course, but the people that we have worked with for the last year have become truly trusted advisors and coaches for our business. We are now truly on the path towards our ambition, it’s full of bumps and twists, but I know that we can rely on the partnership to help us succeed. "

Gary Lynch, CEO, GS1 UK

"Simon has been my coach in the past and I continue to use him for coaching my direct reports. He is a great professional and a great friend and partner. He has extensive experience coaching executives in EA, and understands our business very well. His results with me and my team has been nothing less than phenomenal."

Jaime Giné, VP, International Development Services, Electronic Arts

"I'm happy to recommend Marisa from Value Partnership to other groups and to work with her again. Marisa was a keen listener, very flexible and particularly adept at honing in on the key things people were saying (or not saying!) and aligning those with our goals. I especially appreciated her readiness to go the extra mile to ensure that we got what we needed out of our sessions."

Eric James - Team Development - Field Ready

"I now feel that I am leading the business, I have stepped up and am less worried about detail. The key has been providing the narrative and ensuring a good communication platform is in place to deliver that narrative. I am now clear, concise and unapologetic."

Simon McGinn, Allianz

"Value Partnership’s work with I CAN was exceptional. They grasped I CAN’s purpose and values quickly and intelligently and worked effectively and sensitively with the organisation to make significant change. I CAN had set up a social enterprise business to develop a sustainable income source; Value Partnership worked with the CEO and her team to get the new business model functioning smoothly and embed it in I CAN’s charitable culture, to develop new ways of measuring and tracking results and to develop the team skills for the new business to flourish. The Value Partnership team’s generosity, wholehearted commitment and integrity was a pleasure to witness and vital to the Leadership Team’s growth in skills and confidence."

Susan Hitch, Manager of Lord Sainsbury of Turville’s pro bono activities

"I wanted to just thank you and the team for the great week and your commitment. I had a very good and intensive week with a lot of learnings and also a lot of great points to reflect. [...] I am very thankful that I was part of this training, this really wonderful group and again, thanks for all the patience, the passion and the commitment e.g. to counsel and feedback our presentation group until 12:00 at night. I am also happy that now more and more people are participating, this will be a great way to become one company and initiate a change in the way we work."
