Endorsements

I engaged That People Thing to help me in a programme to transform the culture at AXA Personal Lines. The whole process was incredibly intensive, touched over 2,000 employees and took around a year to complete. Success was definitely achieved as we definitely moved the culture from three disparate parts to one empowered team. I don’t think we would have achieved the success we did without the determined, consistent, honest and challenging support that Blaire and her team brought to the project. Steve Hardy
Former CEO, AXA Personal Lines.

I feel that undertaking this programme with That People Thing has greatly improved my performance. I wish I could have done this twenty years ago! I have met and still meet with colleagues that I have established a professional bond with, who I know I can always call upon to share ideas and opinions Delegate

Working with That People Thing as our business has grown and repositioned itself to become a leading provider of support in Built Asset Management, has helped us become clear about our direction and how to operate as a single unit. Our management team I believe have benefitted hugely from their support, using a series of workshops we thought hard about what we were here to do and how we were going to do it. The results were immediate for us as a team and for the business. David Plester

Blaire Palmer was everything the EAIE wanted in a leadership speaker. In only 45 minutes she was able to turn everyone’s perceptions of leadership and management on its head. Blaire was extremely relevant and was able to clearly and simply get her message across to our international audience. She is a must have for any conference! Highly recommended! Nicole Hardaker
Conference Programme Coordinator (EAIE)

Blaire's presentation was inspiring, relevant, fresh and fun. There was a great sense of collaboration at our Top 100 Leaders meeting today and that was, in no small way, down to the thought-provoking messages and enthusiasm that Blaire brought to the event. Just what we needed. Petar Cvetkovic
