TESTIMONIALS

We’re very proud of our track record. Here’s what a few of our recent clients had to say about working with us:

“We have used RDL’s expertise for over 8 years to advise on leadership assessment and development. This has included assessment and development of the Board, individual Directors, senior clinicians and managers. It is essential to our business that we recruit senior leaders who have the competencies and behaviours we are looking for. RDL take the time to understand our needs and select the right assessment tools. Most recently I have been impressed with their ‘telephone approach’ to assessments. This is a really useful, cost effective way to get information about candidates to us quickly. Their analysis and presentation of information has played an important part in enabling us to assemble an extremely talented leadership team..

David Dalton, Chief Executive
Salford Royal NHS Foundation Trust

“I have relied on RDL’s expertise for nearly 20 years. My organisation has benefited from work undertaken in Board development, senior manager team and skills building and one-to-one coaching to help them meet individual goals. Our recruitment processes for very senior appointments have been enhanced by the outcome of RDL assessments which provide insightful information to get us the right candidate.

Tony Whitfield, Deputy Chief Executive and Executive Director of Finance

“I would like to thank you for organising the clinical leadership course. It was a great success - I think that people will genuinely go back to their units and be more effective. I’ve had lots of emails from the consultants, all of which were very positive. Here are some excerpts:

-  I think everyone genuinely thought it was excellent… 
-  I’ve already started to use the skills with success!
-  I had a very enjoyable time…extremely useful…
-  The feedback I got throughout the day was excellent
- Thank you for such an important and useful course…

“RDL kept us working hard and on-track - whilst enjoying ourselves - but most importantly, successfully producing a Performance & Development Review tool that everyone was signed up to - a miracle!!
I’ve also had personal coaching from Carol Rothwell, which prepared me for a career change and indicated what my development needs were - highly recommended”.
