CPD Business & Coaching Conference (Midlands / North) 2013 testimonials

“The SMART Way Forward CPD Business and Coaching conference was an excellent and well-planned event. It brought together a good balance of skilled and experienced presenters from both business and sports coaching, and made clear parallels where there was a crossover of skills between the two areas. There was a really good and lively bunch of delegates that was a big factor in the buzz through the day. I’d recommend it to people looking to develop their work and coaching skills.”

“We would like to thank you for inviting Clive’s Collectables to be an exhibitor at the SMART Way Forward CPD Business & Coaching Conference at Leicester Tigers. The conference was absolutely fantastic!

“Having an exhibition stand at the conference was ideal for us to network with potential customers / clients. We also found the speakers at the conference delivering the different workshops to be really inspirational and innovative. The management team from Clive’s Collectables who attended the conference had a thoroughly enjoyable and informative day, and we would certainly encourage management teams from other businesses and sports clubs to both attend and send their staff to future conferences, or maybe sign up to become exhibitors.

“Thank you once again. All the staff at Clive’s Collectables would like to wish SMART Way Forward all the best and hope to see them again at future conferences.”
