Results

"When I came back to M&S, one of my key priorities was to quickly improve the skills of our managers and staff. The Mind Gym's approach delivers practical results quickly and cost-effectively. Our people found their methods refreshing and stimulating". Stuart Rose, CEO

After 4 weeks, 94% of participants gave examples of how they had used the techniques to improve their performance.

"When I rang the stores to ask for their figures, they were often difficult and wouldn't give them to me. Since going to The Mind Gym, when I ring them I ask them a question - it doesn't matter what - and I listen. Only when they've finished telling me, do I ask for their figures. Now they give them to me."
