BECAUSE THEY
What We Do
At Develop Your People we believe that our role is to support the people strategy of your business, not just come in, deliver an ‘off the shelf’ training course and then disappear. Whether you are looking for a one-off course or a modular Leadership Development Programme, we will work with you as a Business Partner, meeting with you to understand the challenges you face, as well as the outcomes you are looking to achieve. Following this discussion, our experienced consultant will scope out a bespoke training solution to meet your needs, whether that be classroom-based or virtual/online. Once you are completely happy with our proposal this will be designed, delivered and evaluated.

Who We Are
Matt Brown
Founder
“I find that I learn best in an environment that is conducive to the experience and I aim to bring this into my delivery style. I thoroughly enjoy what I do and always strive to display this in the training room, understanding that if I don’t enjoy it and show interest in the course, then I can’t expect the delegates to buy into the experience.
Theories and models are important as they provide structure, but what really matters is how does it work? I support my delivery with relevant examples from my own management experience to illustrate the topics and help the delegates to see how they can apply what they are learning to their day to day roles.”
