"Steve has been an inspiration. With his gentle, focused, non-threatening and thought-provoking questions, he has challenged me to think about my leadership, rationale and actions. I loved every session."

Jane Holloway, Deputy Head Academic, St Andrew's Preparatory School Turi, Kenya

"We have been participating in the 100X Leader with Steve from Foster Leadership for several weeks. It has immediately made an impact on both my professional & personal practice.  Steve brings his extensive knowledge of School Leadership to the training and has helped us reflect on our own practices whilst being perceptive in his insights with our present approach to situations.  I have always felt ‘safe’ with discussing scenarios with Steve as he has made the training fun, affirming, and challenging through his care and attention to the participants.  I would recommend anyone who is interested in being an effective leader to spend time with Foster Leadership as they enable you to understand your true potential."

Mike King, Releasing Potential – CEO, Releasing Potential Independent Special School – Executive Head Teacher, West Sussex

"The 5 Voices has been an extremely positive experience for myself and the team that I lead. The process of becoming more self aware about my own voice and the voices of those that I work with has unlocked our teams' potential and has helped everyone feel empowered in the workplace. The way Steve delivers the programmes is relatable, thought-provoking, and creates extremely valuable conversations within the team. The 5 Voices and 100X Coaching Programmes have been invaluable to our organisation."

Amanda Leach, Transition Learning Programme Manager, The Outdoors Group, Exeter

"Personally I loved it – interesting content delivered whilst doing something I really enjoy. A day away from my desk felt like a real treat. A key difference to similar courses I have done before (as well as it being outdoors!) is the follow-up coaching and support you offer. This will help in ensuring that change is implemented, and in relation to the content I mean personal change, even if this is just recognising that team members think and behave in different ways. The location made a big difference to how I processed the information. Perhaps this is down to my personality type, but not being in a conference room was a real plus for me. This goes hand in hand with Steve’s delivery style, where he listened and processed answers without any hint of judgement, and this is a big reason why it works. In terms of content, the Voices were a big revelation. What I learned is already having a big impact on how I am dealing with people in day to day life, and has also made me think about how I face tasks myself."

Susan Kivell, Entrepeneur 

"As an experienced leader I was initially unsure how much I would have to learn from the course, or if I would just have a couple of nice days out on the Moor.  Within the first half of the first day, I was guided to some very significant insights by Steve and more followed as the course progressed.  His very careful guidance of situation, course material, and environment provided a powerful combination, and I know I will be considering the learning from the intensive course for years to come.  Thanks Steve."
