Testimonials

  • Charles Jennings, former CLO Reuters, founder 70/20/10 institute

    I hold Nick Shackleton-Jones in high regard. Over the years I’ve known him I’ve seen his consummate professionalism and thoughtful but practical approaches applied in various situations.

    Nick is a practitioner with a deep knowledge of the psychology of learning and an excellent understanding of ‘what works’ with new technologies and innovative approaches to learning and performance. He is equally ‘practical achiever’ and ‘creative thinker’.

    As well as all these things, Nick’s a thoroughly decent man with whom you would choose to take a long walk

  • Laura Overton, CEO & Founder Towards Maturity

    I have known Nick for almost 15 years and have never failed to be inspired by his pragmatic insights that he shares freely. His passion and enthusiasm for learning innovation that delivers bottom line business results is recognised worldwide and the respect that he enjoys comes from a reputation for being grounded in reality.

    He is one of a rare breed of learning leaders who actively walking the walk rather than just talking the talk!

  • Nigel Paine, former CLO BBC, founder nigelpaine.com

    I have had the privilege to work with Nick over very many years in the ever more complex roles that he has taken on.

    Nick is a supreme thinker and tactician who can combine deep theoretical knowledge with intensely practical outputs and products. This keeps him always ahead of the curve and a great innovator who can think abstractly but always find the practical application.

    Never leave a chat without being challenged and enthralled
