All training is devised, written and delivered by Helen Thomson, a multi award winning business entrepreneur in her own right.

Helen shares over thirty years experience in business, as both the MD at the sharp end and has unusually 'walked the walk' simultaneously as an award winning in house trainer 

since 1990.

This is the relatively 'factual' information page but if you are interested in a narrative 'story' please click here. Warning: I do find my fingers run away with me (as it were!)

​

I have knowledge of a range of concepts, systems, tools and knowledge bourne from experience and can call upon them with objectivity and creativity to help businesses become or remain the respected leaders in their field.

​

• I launched my in-house, tailored training company 30 years ago after gaining top marks in the Institute of Employment Consultants Recruitment Practice Examination.

• Over that time I have won numerous business and personal achievement awards including Hertfordshire Businesswoman of the Year in 1991

• I was on the very first team of Investors In People Assessors in 1992, and so can draw on many years of diverse experience including corporate consultancy, KPI analysis, induction, review and evaluation systems, devised and embedded mainly for SME's

• I have established an enviable reputation for personally crafting and delivering creative and highly effective training solutions

• They span a varied range of change and development requirements with robust experience distilled over the years

• My work also delivers a clear return on investment and value for money.

 

I've been told I am something of an enigma, and have attracted attention from academia. Dr Linda Wilks at the Open University requested to study my leadership of a major project for a year to conduct an indepth study on the 'secret of mysuccess' in two key areas surrounding an ambitious community interest company (CIC) I set up in 2013. The resulting papers were published in academic journals and have been presented at lectures at Universities, both for Brand Management and Social Media Marketing as well as Leadership, whereupon an exciting new model was conceived around the vital concepts of Inspiring, Caring & Sharing and Delivery. More about this here.

​

It's fair to say that marketing, branding, PR and the associated business growth are the key areas where I can help businesses achieve results quickly.

 

Over the last two years (since 2020) I have been a mentor on various schemes run/funded by the Herts Growth Hub, University of Hertfordshire and the Herts Local Enterprise Partnership. I am in a strong position to share the knowledge and help you develop the tools to help your company achieve the results it is dreaming of! If you think there might be a fit between my skills and your goals, I would love to hear from you!
