“Emilie and Ruth have been instrumental in transforming Savills Academy over the last 3 years. The overwhelmingly positive feedback from their sessions is that they are enjoyable and the effects are long lasting.”
Andrew Perratt, Director of Country Savills

“Fantastic course, both Nick and Emilie adding their own vast experience and energy to appeal to a wide range of skills and personality types. The training was perfectly pitched and very relevant - excellently done!”
Marcus Hodges, Director, SPF Private Clients

“Thank you for a brilliant two days, we all found it invaluable.”
Cal Lee MRICS, Head of Workthere

“The progress I've made thanks to Nick’s coaching is phenomenal. I recently presented confidently to over 1000 colleagues – unthinkable before our sessions. I never imagined I'd be where I am now when we first started working together.”
Tom King, Willis Towers Watson

”Incredibly engaging, interesting and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend Yellow Door to anyone looking for impactful training.”
Evie Rolfe, Managing Director, Full Circle

“Nick did a great job in making the remote sessions interactive. I’d recommend his training to others looking to develop their teams and grow their business during this challenging time.”
John Gentleman, St James Place

“You exude passion and ensure full and productive participation, without putting anyone ‘on the spot’ but also by challenging the team to think differently. The fresh, relaxed and energetic approach ensured everyone left the session energised and with a renewed focus”
Claire Whiteford, Multi-Property HR Director, Marriott Hotels

“Having Nick as a coach over the past few months has been immensely useful and couldn’t have come at a better time having recently moved into a more senior leadership role. I’d have no hesitation recommending Nick as a coach if you get the chance to work with him.”
Louise Dorrian, Director, Willis Towers Watson

We had such a lovely day with you both and the team have come in with a new lease of energy. Thank you Ruth and Emilie for all your hard work with the team!”
Melissa Wooler, Sales Director, The Wedding Shop

“Superb, felt uncomfortable in parts but that’s a huge positive. Having someone of Keir’s expertise was amazing - the day flew by!”
Nick Shaw, Savills

“What can I say? Wow! Thank you so much for the training, it was all so relevant.’’
Charlotte Bayliss, Director, Savills

“I gained a huge amount from Nick’s coaching. Nick is very genuine, approachable and relaxed. He encourages a natural but frank style of dialogue that ensures progress against agreed objectives while eliminating the scope for any awkwardness."
George Beattie, Head of Incubation Underwriting, Beazley

“I've never had more engaging hosts of a training program - they really did make the whole course enjoyable and digestible.”
Simon Farrer, SPF Private Clients

“Emilie is superb, she knows the subject inside out and also hugely energetic and brings everyone into the discussion, irrespective of experience and confidence. Particularly impressive on an online forum, rather than face to face.”
Alex Lawson, Director, Head of UK Rural Agency, Savills

“I have probably been on over a hundred ‘training days’ in my career so far, and this presentation training was far and away the best.“
Matthew Taylor, Thomas Legal

“Emilie and Nick were fantastic. The Course was invaluable and we came out of it a much stronger team.”
Piers Mallitte – Workthere

"An enjoyable and useful session - both Emilie and Kier brought real energy to the process and kept an opinionated group focused on the purpose of the day."
Matthew Scott, Operations Director, Altus Consulting

“Thank you both so much for the training day yesterday. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute and I have to say, it’s probably the best training day I’ve done so far.’’
Nicola Gemmell, The Wedding Shop

“Your endless enthusiasm was infectious and we had such a positive feedback from the whole team. Your ability to lead the discussions to ensure we got the most out of everything was key.”
Rosalind Shelley, Managing Director, Venue Search London

“I just wanted to say how valuable I found it, I have had sales & management training in the past and it felt like a waste of time out of the office — your training is the polar opposite.”
Jemma Scott, Head of Venue Sales & Events, Venue Lab

Emilie came into a completely alien environment and a culture which is primed to generate antibodies to anything that has the faintest whiff of being corporate and effortlessly integrated into the team - that takes some real skill."
Dr Timothy Bonnici, Consultant in Intensive Care & Acute Medicine and Digital Health Researcher, UCLH

“Nick’s input has been instrumental to changing my mindset and my business and reigniting my enthusiasm for the challenge ahead. I would strongly recommend Nick’s services to anyone who is struggling.”
Mark Glanfield, Glanfield & Associates Wealth Management

“The training was tailored precisely to our needs and targeted exactly the areas where the team needed support. I would recommend Yellow Door without hesitation.”
Tom McCann, Venue Director, Arsenal FC

“After our training, the team saw significant improvements right away and, just 3 weeks since the training, we have seen an increase in seasonal renewals. This success was largely down to Yellow Door and the training we received.”
Rob Lees, Head of Premium Sales, England Rugby
