Our Client Testimonials
We’ve worked with many inspiring clients over the last 32 years.
Here's what they have to say.
Andrew Lee
Non-Executive Director, Co-op Bank
Michael has been instrumental in positively modifying the team dynamics in several businesses I have been involved with.
He quickly and intuitively analyses people and teams, gaining insight into the behavioural blocks to create positive change.
Modifying their behaviours and beliefs allows personal and team growth in line with our corporate strategy.
Michael never ceases to amaze me in his ability to inspire individuals and teams to think of the impossible and make it happen.
Martin Andrews
SVP Rare Diseases – GSK
Michael’s challenging style, combined with his unique blend of coaching and business consultancy, results in a clear strategy and helps take the leadership team to a new level of performance: a powerful combination when tackling a turnaround.
Carlos Quintana
SVP, People, PepsiCo Mexico Foods
I was looking to integrate myself into a new team, as well as to consolidate the team impact within the organization.
Working with Michael has helped us to perform at our true potential. The assessment he applies helped us to be conscious of the areas in which we needed to focus to see visible improvement.
I particularly liked how this work helped us to have a better team performance, as well as expand our influence within the organization.
Simon Furnell
Chief Executive Officer, Masthaven Bank
As an executive team, we have been working with Michael for almost 3 years, and the results we have seen both collectively and individually have been notable, with most individuals viewing their progress as transformational.
Collectively, the journey has prompted trust, openness and direct conversation. Individually, we have experienced greater insight, self-confidence and awareness that has enabled us to progress collectively and individually to higher levels of performance and fulfilment.
During this period, we have faced complex business challenges, and the absence of ego and the collective will and trust we have shared have enabled us to optimise how we have worked together in order to provide the support and challenge needed to be a high-performing team. The team, task, and individuals have all been winners as a result.
Garry Reason
General Manager, Mead Johnson Nutrition – General Manager, Northern Europe
Michael, reflecting back on last week makes me smile and take a deep breath.
It will be one of those NLP states to think back to, meaning a situation where I can reflect on something truly different that worked out exceptionally well and generated a massive sense of achievement, tiring though it was.
We were, as predicted, all exhausted at the end but energised and wondering where our new mindset and insights would take us.
Your formula worked very well for us. Great, varied scenery, food, company and importantly, challenge and deep insights on the personal and team fronts.
Mike Smith
President, Red Nucleus
We started working with Michael about six years ago. Our team, individually and collectively, is unrecognizable compared to then.
We are now an incredibly effective cohesive unit as a result of his intervention and have a true belief of what we can achieve together.
This is reflected in our performance, averaging greater than 30% year-on-year revenue growth and an eleven-fold increase in EBITA.
Thank you to Michael and your team for their help, guidance expertise, and honesty to challenge us to achieve great things. “Truly Amazing”
Joanna Baird
CRO, Birmingham Bank
"Michael has made a huge difference to my understanding of myself and my approach to work, which has enabled me to move into and be successful in senior leadership roles. I found his direct, no-nonsense style invaluable in being able to tackle difficult issues openly and honestly with the rest of the Executive Team. I do not believe we would have been able to achieve what we have if it had not been for Michael's involvement."
Alex Manisty
Head of Strategy, DS Smith
I have worked with Michael for many years on a range of areas affecting personal, team and business development.
I have found him to be insightful, challenging, and creative, particularly in circumstances where clarity is required in complex situations and where disparate teams need help to come together to achieve real change under pressure.
I would recommend him as wise counsel to anyone faced with a new or unusual leadership challenge.
Jean-Christophe Barland
President – Bristol-Myers Squibb (Japan, Korea, Taiwan)
I have very fond memories of our sessions. Your introduction to the Inner game of tennis, the golf workshop and our sessions inspired and still inspires me.
Your level of energy and ability to pass it on are truly amazing.
Ian Forbes
Ecosystem Lead – UK and Ireland, UCB
Michael and the “Truly Amazing” programme helped me achieve last year what I would have previously thought as unachievable.
I had half the resources and 6 months to deliver our business goals in a disease area of which I had no knowledge. On top of this, I had to build a new team.
We exceeded our 2021 objectives and were recognised company-wide as a team, including my role as their manager. My biggest lesson over the last 18 months has been just how powerful the mindset of an individual and team can be!
Jeanette Barrowcliffe
Finance Director, Meridian Business Support
Michael has worked with our team over a number of years and has proven his worth to us time and time again.
He has an uncanny knack for seeing exactly what the issues are and is bold and brave enough to say it as it is, holding people to account and driving change at a leadership level.
Michael’s experience as a Strategic Behaviourist gives us confidence that his behavioural interventions are backed up by a solid business understanding and linked to our corporate strategy.
A must for any business that is growing and developing where change and performance are the key drivers.
Vince McDermott
Manufacturing Director
Michael Romeling is a truly inspirational behaviourist who has a proven ability to substantially improve business performance through leadership development.
I would thoroughly recommend him to business leaders at all levels as he delivered genuine continuous improvement in a challenging, stimulating manner that I have not experienced in previous mainstream management training.
I have worked with Michael over several years and I can confidently say he significantly contributed to my career progression into senior leadership roles.
He demonstrated his talent at sharing his expertise to facilitate productivity improvements in excess of 20%, but more importantly, inspiring the confidence to enable a strong personal belief that every goal is achievable.
In practical terms, Michael has been an integral part of my success in achieving a PhD in Organisational Change while translating my leadership skills into real practical improvement.
This has culminated in several promotions into senior management roles but is most evident in my recent progression into my first Director role.
I would encourage all business leaders to grasp the opportunity to work with him as he will deliver a step change in the individual and their organisation.
Mattijs Backx
Senior Vice President & Head of Global Business Services, PepsiCo
"I have been working with Michael for over 10 years now and have greatly benefited from his ability to pinpoint the underlying behavioural unlocks to achieve high performance both at the individual and team level".
Ricardo Wolf
Vice President & Digital Factory Demand Management Lead, PepsiCo
"A couple months back, I faced the stressful situation of being involved in a company re-organization process. Although my role was on the list to be eliminated, my existence as an employee was not clear. Doubtful on how to proceed, I reached out to Michael, with whom I was already working with supporting my Truly Amazing journey with outstanding results. Together we built a strategy based on my training: Believing, Thinking and Behaving. Over the next 2 to 3 months, I challenged myself to do things differently and to go above and beyond taking control of my career.
Today, I can happily say that everything worked out marvellously. I received the news of a confirmed role within the company doing something Truly Amazing.
Michael you are a rock star! Thank you very much for everything!."
