Testimonials

“Working with Tina Dulieu has been a game-changer for both me personally and for Aquatech.”

Tina brings a powerful blend of strategic thinking and practical action. From the start, she helped us clarify our direction, identify new growth opportunities, and stay focused on what really matters.

Her guidance challenged our thinking in all the right ways. With her support, we’ve been able to take confident steps forward – not just talking about change, but actually making it happen!

What sets Tina apart is her genuine partnership approach. She’s not just a coach – she’s a trusted advisor who really understands business and leadership.

If you’re serious about growth and want a clear, supported path to get there, I highly recommend working with Tina.

We started our Swish Group Ltd family business in 2021 and were struggling with the usual family dynamics!

Our different personalities were not working well together and we were busy getting not a lot done.

Tina came highly recommended to us from a friend who had previously worked with Tina to launch her very successful business in a tough industry.

From the moment we met Tina we all knew she was going to help us. We all completed the DISC Personality Profiling Analysis which helped us to understand each other’s way of thinking, processing, communicating and working.

Tina asked some tough but much needed questions and the result is that we are now all so much better at understanding our roles in the business and we work smart together and get the desired results.

On Tina’s suggestion, we invested in software that helped tremendously with our time management and delegating out tasks to individuals who were then responsible to carry out those tasks in their own wayand time scale that suited their personality which was taken from the DISC Profiling Analysis.

We were shown the value of social media and networking. Tina was so helpful in this area and gave me the confidence to ‘put myself out there’ and connect with others.

We spent time on understanding our values as individuals and then taking these values and developing our Mission Statement and Vision Statement which is at the core of our business.

The outcome of the programme is that when we initially contacted Tina we were fractured as a family business and now we are whole and work as a functional business team.

I cannot recommend Tina highly enough – one of the wisest decisions we have made.

I recently had the opportunity to take part in sales training led by Tina, and it was truly a transformative experience. With six years of experience in sales, I wasn’t expecting to gain such a fresh perspective but Tina’s approach completely exceeded my expectations.

What sets her apart is the perfect balance she strikes between professionalism and a personal touch. She creates an environment where every participant feels supported, engaged, and truly understood. Her ability to break down complex sales techniques into clear, actionable steps while ensuring everyone is on the same page was incredibly valuable.

Tina doesn’t just teach sales; she brings it to life. The training was enriched with thoughtful resources and practical insights that I’ve already begun applying in my day-to-day work. It really opened my eyes to the nuances and strategies that turn sales from a transaction into an art form.

I would highly recommend Tina’s training to anyone looking to deepen their understanding of sales, whether you're just starting out or a seasoned professional.

With the support of Tina I feel like I have transitioned from a manager to a leader. Upon agreeing to the course, I was in two minds – my public self asking what could I really learn from a classroom that I hadn’t learned on the job over a 17 year career. But my private self was excited by the opportunity to develop skills that I obviously required assistance with. Through a process of self-analysis, self-reflection and discussing with Tina and my colleagues, it was very clear that whilst I had some abilities, there was certainly work to do.

The course was very enjoyable, and the content was excellent. I particularly enjoyed the DISC profiling of myself and others, in order to improve working relationships, avoid conflicts and spot pressure points. The time management and task prioritisation sessions were simple and effective and have allowed me to manage my workload much more efficiently. And finally learning how to prepare and give a presentation to our board of directors was an excellent way to round off the year and showcase some of the skills learned throughout the course.

I still maintain contact with Tina who has helped me through difficult periods in both my working and personal life and have hopefully established a lifelong professional and personal relationship. She is an exceptional person first and foremost, open minded, with a kind heart and an infinite level of patience. So for anyone looking to take a step forward in their career, this course, or any other content delivered by Tina, comes highly recommended from me. A massive thank you for everything.

When I first joined this process, I was at a very low point in my working career.  Work had become a constant battle and I was professionally lost,  I knew I had to change but just didn’t know how, I needed help.

Within the first 2 sessions of the course, things started to change me at work and by the end of the 12-month course, I have to say I am more happy at work, then ever.

Tina played no small part in this. Tina’s training sessions were enjoyable and well structured, each session started with a recap of the previous session and then what we were going to learn that day.  Every work day now, I refer back to my training with Tina.

Thank you, Tina, for all your help and guidance and helping me to become successful.

Tina Dulieu, Coaching Dynamics, has been a rock by our sides in ensuring our senior staff have the resources needed to step into more senior roles with associated expectations.

The team reluctantly accepted the need for a Business Coach but are now asking for Tina’s time to develop their skills even further.

When I head to the gym, I rely on the help of an experienced instructor: to push me outside of my comfort zone. Having Tina in place to push and encourage, whilst steering the guys sympathetically, depending on experience, does precisely this for our senior management team.

Thank you for all you’ve done and continue to do. Everyone needs a business coach or you may be lucky enough to find Tina.

When I was first made aware that the business was going through some restructuring, I didn’t feel there was much else I could learn, having been a part of it for so many years, I thought I knew it all!

I couldn’t have been more wrong. Tina has helped me more than I could have ever imagined.

Tina has not only reshaped how I manage my team, workload, and day to day interruptions, but she did something quite unexpected, which was to give me the confidence to stand tall and know my voice mattered. There is a huge difference between managing a fulfilled and happy team, to just being a people pleaser. Finding the confidence to manage a strong team has made a massive difference and has been paramount to the change that was needed. Tina has been instrumental in making this happen.

Within our organisation we operate in a very close-knit higher management team which on reflection was probably holding us back a little. We were all so worried about upsetting the dynamic that it was stopping us from moving forward and reaching our full potential. With Tina on board, she has allowed us to speak openly, and she constantly guides us in the right direction whilst keeping us all on track, continually giving us sound business advice on how to become better together. We have not only become a much stronger team but can fully understand each other, the way we work as individuals and how better to work as a team. We have clear expectation of our individual roles within the business and can support each other.

I look forward to our business development sessions every month because they are interesting, thought provoking and totally accessible to us all. Tina makes every session relaxed and inviting and very inclusive and it’s such a wonderful environment to learn.

My team have never been stronger and happier. My confidence has grown, and I feel like anything is possible. Thank you so much Tina, I feel incredibly lucky that the company realised how important the investment was to bring you on board. You have made the world of difference to us all.

We have worked with Tina from Coaching Dynamics for over two years, where she has been delivering internal courses for our staff.

Over the past few years, Simarco has had tremendous growth both organically and through acquisition and we identified that we needed to invest in our staff and their development.

Tina has delivered an internal Customer Service course along with a year long Management programme for our Managers who are located across the UK.

I have always found Tina to be very informative and she strikes the balance between being confidential and providing you with feedback that can be used to improve the overall business performance.

We have been impressed with the quality of the content and Tina always goes above and beyond outside of the agreed hours when requested, she has become an extension of Simarco.

I personally would recommend Tina to any business that is looking to drive culture change by empowering the next generation of Leaders and we will be engaging further with Tina to continue this successful programme.

It is vital that employees are engaged with all aspects of the business as this is perhaps the most critical success factor of any organisation. This can only be achieved if everyone in the business benefits from positive leadership which enables them to carry out their work including exercising their judgement confidently. Additionally, it is important to ensure that leadership is consistent throughput the business.

At Evinox Energy Ltd we concluded that these two aims could be achieved through a programme of training of the senior managers and directors.

Having been introduced to Tina Dulieu and discussed her work with her, it was clear Tina could carry out this training for us and as a result she stared working with Evinox in December 2018. Her proposal was to present management and leadership training in a series of 12 modules consisting of one day of training per month during the course of 2019.

The modules covering the whole spectrum of management including personality profiling, effective communication, delegation skills, time management, conflict handling and customer service. Tina is always conscious of the bespoke needs of our organisation and the people that she is training. As a result, she tailors each module to our specific requirements based on what she has learnt as a result of delivering the training to us up to that point. In addition to group work, she has also conducted one-to-one discussions with specific managers on a voluntary basis.

Finally, we realised that the training managers were receiving could also benefit the people they are responsible for. In response, Tina tailored each module and delivered the training to all the team members that their managers had benefited from earlier in the day or during the course of the day before. The material that Tina uses is contemporary and when combined with her flexible adaptable style it has an impact and relevance from which we have all thoroughly benefited, both individually and collectively.

We have worked with Tina since February 2016 having initially been introduced through the Growth Accelerator programme. We met a number of Business Coaches before appointing Tina, as we felt it was important that whoever we chose we could work with effectively.

We have now worked with Tina for just over a year, and have been very impressed at how quickly she has been able to fully understand the detail of our business. She has brought a wealth of valuable information and experience to ensure our business growth is sustainable. Initially we worked through the Growth Accelerator program to develop a 3 year strategy to take the company forward. In developing the strategy we found ourselves discussing wider issues which have helped in developing the company.

Whilst we have now completed the Growth Accelerator programme, the strategy was shared and developed further with the wider management team. We continue to benefit from further coaching sessions and are now working with Tina on Management training and other business improvement strategies to improve the business as we grow, and maintain the positive results we have already started to see.

Dear Tina,
In appreciation of your help so far, please find below a couple of testimonials from us based on your Coaching assistance and also the Time Management & Delegation Training you have recently provided us with.

May I take this opportunity to say thank you one more time for all of your hard work and advice so far. It's be very interesting and a real eye opener.

Coaching

Tina and Coaching Dynamics were highly recommended to us by our accountants as a really good and engaging business coach... And they were right.

We have found Tina's analytical approach, coupled with her friendly nature and genuine interest in who we are and our business a real breath of fresh air and internally extremely motivating. She is providing us with the tools to take our business from strength to strength. Sometimes it takes an outside view point on your business to get you to look in the right direction and take the steps to improvement.

Time Management & Delegation Training

`We asked Tina to provide our whole company with Time Management and also Delegation training as I felt we were spending too much time within the office on the wrong things and not enough on the right things. I also felt that the art of delegation was something was something we could improve on.

We hired a local function venue to remove all the staff from their computers and phones so Tina could have our undivided attention and I am really pleased to say that she engaged with everyone from the start and throughout. Some of the Time Management & Delegation techniques are really quite straight forward and easy to implement and it was felt by all that the training we received was really useful. Although we are all still very much under pressure, with the skills we learnt it now feels that this is controlled by us rather than controlling us. Thanks Tina'.
