Miller Insurance Services

“Over the last 3 years we have seen considerable expansion in our business. We have hired a number of new people and broadened our product range.

It was important to us to integrate the existing people and systems with the new recruits and to build a common culture that would enable us to move in the same direction with a sense of purpose. The Mindset team have worked with us over this period and have been instrumental in helping us build the culture, challenge our assumptions and move the business forward.

We now have great momentum and a strong team spirit that will stand us in good stead to face the challenges ahead.”

Events Management International

"The Leadership Forum 2006 was held in University College Dublins William Clinton Centre with Ruth Benson from Mindset as anchor for the entire day.  Her input in the planning of the event was key to the event’s enormous success.  Ruth’s delivery, content and presentations were world class."

Beechcroft Wansborough

“As HR Director for Beechcroft Wansbroughs, l commissioned Ruth and Greg of Mindset to run a leadership programme for the Senior Partners of this law firm. The purpose of the programme was to get greater ownership by the owners in the running of the business, to increase accountability, engagement and energy in the roll out of the mission, vision and values for the next few years.

Greg and Ruth were excellent. Greg is very good at outlining the business rationale for doing things and had some strong conceptual models which helped sell in the messages. Ruth's strengths are in facilitation and getting commitment. She can see when people are saying ‘yes’ and meaning ‘no’ and will challenge people to confront the lip service in a very professional and humane way. They are a good double act. They are keen to see a difference as a result of their work and they have enabled change amongst a challenging group of people at Beachcroft Wansbroughs.”

Actionaid

“One of the smartest activity sessions I have had the pleasure to take part in which has changed the way I think. Very memorable and great fun too. I look forward to putting the valuable lessons we learned in just one afternoon into practice”

EMC Computer Systems

"We engaged Mindset for Senior Management Team Building as well as Field Team building events. Here is what I/we observed as impact of this joint engagement: We uncovered clear boundaries and road-blockers for the successful integration & discovered jointly how important communication & trust within the new environment would be to make the change happen. We also agreed that only by personal commitment and initiative of each person we would be able to achieve our goals would we clearly understand the challenges ahead and core things we needed to change

The impact of the engagement with Mindset can be best described as a perfect initiation for what we have to make happen and acted as an eye-opener for the majority of us, giving us major visibility where we need to focus on, this was our first step in the right direction. Now the hard work is still in front of us and we face challenges every day, but we feel more ready, more aware and more enabled to make the change successful."
