Established in 1995, Lakeland People Development Ltd is a people development consultancy that works in partnership with organisations and individuals, delivering a range of development opportunities designed to unleash potential and maximise choice.

We specialise in the achievement of results using effective and excellent communication.

We encourage our clients to be clear about desired outcomes, to consider innovative and flexible ways to achieve them and to work creatively to tackle barriers to success in a way that improves learning.

We believe that in order to achieve success an individual must be clear about his or her own desires and goals in life, and should put maximum effort into ensuring that activity and behaviour is congruent with these. We also believe that successful organisations, and teams take time to look at what is important to individuals within them, so that organisational team and individuals mission is in line as much as possible.

We have the following areas of expertise: Leadership and Management Development (including 360° feedback); Team Development (including a Team Effectiveness tool); Coaching using NLP and Insights Discovery (Personal Effectiveness Profiling); Specialist consultancy services to Family Businesses; Facilitation and Mediation.

A leader is best when people barely know that he exists. Not so good when people obey and acclaim him.

Fail to honour people. They fail to honour you.

But of the good leader, who talks little, when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will all say, 'We did this ourselves'."
