Testimonials

"This is definitely the best course I have been on for a very long time and the trainers were excellent. Very well done."

Lecturer on Responding to Change, Canterbury Christ Church University

"I wanted to thank you both again for the great session you ran on Thursday. I know it was a challenging brief for you, with the limited time for the session and the huge number of people. From our side it worked really well and everyone had a lot of fun working together in such a creative way. The workshop gave us great practical tools that we can go on using. We’d be delighted to recommend you in the future."

Helen O'Brien, Head of Corporate Fundraising, Sense

"When we advertised Opposite Leg's Art of Presenting workshop on our staff development programme it filled up quicker than a rockpool in Blackpool at high tide. The participants thoroughly enjoyed the day and came away with creative and useful ideas to put into practice. We will definitely be requesting their services again!"

Rody Bristow-Jones MA MSc, Staff Development Advisor, Goldsmiths, University of London

"We have worked with Guy and David from Opposite Leg on a number of successful projects over the last 4 years. These projects have included courses for teachers to improve their teaching skills, courses in presentation skills as well as inspirational courses for teenagers. Guy and David have endless energy and enthusiasm as well as being very talented, knowledgeable and skilled. They are both very reliable and hardworking. Feedback from students who have attended their courses is constantly of the highest order"

Tim Rudd, Director Summer School, Middlesex University

"YouthNet engaged David and Guy to conduct a series of role play scenarios. The training brief was to ensure that our marketing team would bond together through an experience which would stretch them professionally by recreating real life stressful situations. Opposite Leg exceeded all our expectations. They met the brief by balancing an entertaining approach whilst creating a safe environment for the team to participate in stressful role play situations. Many of my team said that these sessions were the most memorable part of the three days. I cannot recommend Opposite Leg highly enough to any organisation for presentation skills or role play training."

Colin Jones, Development Director, YouthNet

"Just to say thanks to you both for the training course on Monday. It was by far the most interesting, stimulating and fun training course I’ve been on since my time at Pearson. I’ve taken away some key learning points too, largely that I can actually stand up and present without much (or any!) preparation beforehand, which was my main aim – in order to reduce my reliance on rigid, inflexible and scripted presentations with cue cards."

Daniel Naish – Trade Marketing Executive, Pearson Publishing Group

"Opposite Leg were engaged to develop our staff's awareness on communication issues. The session was snappy, succinct and enjoyed by all. They were able to quickly tailor their material to meet our staff's needs, taking no prisoners in challenging perceptions and ideas but with a sensitivity to members with less experience and confidence of working in front of a large group of their colleagues. They had their finger on the pulse of the staff dynamics and were very quick to 'move on' when a situation or technique was not working."

Roland McCabe, Dulwich Wood School

"The activities were fun and presented us with opportunities for insight in a non-threatening and ultimately energising manner. I'd thoroughly recommend this course to all staff, even those who think they don't need it. Would be great for an Away Day!"

Senior staff member, Canterbury Christchurch University

"Thanks to Opposite Leg for their unique approach to developing presentation skills! Musical chairs, silent presentations and mating koalas!"

"@OppositeLeg You were fantastic! By far one of the best workshops re public speaking I've ever been involved in. Thank you!"

Joshua Harsant, NCVYS Young Leader

"I would like to thank you and David for the course. I have enjoyed the week very much. Really good fun in a very relaxed environment and lots of challenges. I am sure it has helped all of us to evolve in many different ways. In fact I think it is a revolutionary course, congratulations for your fantastic work."
