What our clients are saying
“I have really enjoyed the Stepping Up Programme and coaching sessions. Orbit have been hugely beneficial in helping me work out what I want my career path to be at Alpha and how I am going to get there. It has also made me think about what I want to achieve and therefore where I need to focus my time and attention.”
“Gill has been acting as my coach for the past 6 months since my promotion to the CEO role. This step-up has happened at a time of significant change and challenge for the organisation. Gill has acted as a valuable sounding board to help me unpack and find clarity on complex issues. She has been instrumental in my development of a stronger and authentic ‘voice’ to better manage the diversity of my stakeholder community, be that internal, my Board or the broader, external market. Between our face-to-face sessions, Gill is always available to offer advice and support, and regularly sends over articles, models and insights to further my leadership and strategic development.”
“I have worked with Orbit for a number of years. Initially they undertook a programme of increasing productivity in our telesales team and this was entirely successful.
“More recently I needed to explore the behavioral profiles of my executive team and engaged Orbit for this exercise. They used Everything DISC and the results have been both enlightening and rewarding – we can move forward with a much greater insight into how our teams operate and need to develop.”
“As a new Sales Manager with a new team the Orbit programme was very timely.
“The combination of coaching coupled with structured account development and workshops helped to establish a common language across the team expediting our account planning process. We experienced a number of quantifiable benefits including an increase in the number of services engagements and meetings with more senior client contacts within our target base. The process has become integral to how the team works using ongoing coaching to ensure that personal and company goals align and account development to maintain momentum. I feel the regular coaching sessions has enabled me to increase my understanding of underlying team member’s motivations and values giving me real confidence in the team and my ability to execute on opportunities.”
“It is actually quite easy to engage with Orbit, as they do understand they’re dealing with very busy executives, so they make it pretty easy, by being very respectful about your time. Their whole approach, behaviour and delivery is incredibly professional. They have a good challenging style, they will push back, and offer you an alternative perspective. It’s positive, it’s fun, it’s engaging, it’s supportive!”
“Current numbers show volume sales for Consumer Finance will be up by at least 20% by for the financial year. At the final celebration workshop the team quoted numerous examples of where the change facilitated by this programme has made a huge impact, i.e. examples of new accounts opened, struggling relationships revived and significant growth in accounts.”
“We wanted something tailored to really help those Senior Managers step up to that next level, as we are very keen to promote fantastic talent from within. Orbit took the time to understand Alpha, what we stand for, our core values and what drives us as a business. This has been absolutely key to tailoring the programme, and the great results we have seen.”
