"Graham had excellent presentation skills and a good feel for the organisation. The whole course felt entirely suited to our needs."

Deborah Goodbody

"I think a lot of us were sceptical of it when we first went in to the workshop, but it was very well bought out, the fact it was interactive aswell as a classroom based training program, so we got to try it out with Graham on hand, making sure we do it."

Eleanor Dandy

"Graham and Think Productive have provided training over the past year at all levels of our company - particularly on managing workloads, email and 'getting things done'. His training has had great results for us because it is very practical - giving people the tools they need to make long lasting productivity changes. His investment in understanding our business and culture - and therefore how to apply theories to the way in which we work has been very impressive."

"BA is the land of meetings! This was refreshing, to the point and interactive session which has really made us think about using our time for meetings more productively and in some cases questioning our need for a meeting at all. A well prepared, presented and superbly timed 'meeting' which gave us an opportunity as a group to share problems and helped us to find practical solutions."

Vandana Sood

"I know this sounds completely bonkers but I really think the 'Inbox to Zero' and 'Managing Workflow' sessions are the most useful training sessions I have ever been on. I never say things like that but it's true! I'm still keeping my inbox pretty much to zero which is a minor miracle. I don’t know if this is connected but I have definitely felt calmer and less stressed since the sessions and I genuinely feel a bit more in control of my workload."

Workshop delegate

"Emails have always annoyed me – the way they control my life! This session brought these issues to the forefront of my mind and we were able to deal with them!"

Nick Matthews

"That despite my extreme scepticism and my protective feelings toward my inbox, it has reduced by a huge amount."

Steven Symonds

Workshop Participant

"1/3 theory, 2/3 getting it done. It was great."

Workshop Participant

"Simple, practical advice delivered in a 'user friendly' manner."

Adrian Procter

"Great style, format, clarity and communication flow. It was energizing, stimulating and empowering."

Baba Israel

"We found the workshop very interesting, it contained some very good time saving tips. It helped me to focus more on the way I work rather than getting consumed by the amount of work I have to do. It also prompted us to share tips and best practice within the team. Its much more thought-provoking that the usual time management workshops."

Louise Bunn

"I really liked the immediate action....the results are visible immediately."

Workshop Participant

"The training opens your eyes to simple methods and techniques to managing your working day and ensuring you remain as efficient and productive as possible. The Inbox to Zero training has worked brilliantly for me - my Inbox is still at zero and my weekly review sessions are great for setting direction for the coming few days. Brilliant and great value for money."

Natalie Reynolds

"It was well thought out, practical and the best use of my time I have had in a training session in years. Thank-you!"

"I very much enjoyed Lee's presentation [How to be a Productivity Ninja]. It was both entertaining and packed with useful ideas on how to increase individual productivity. I thought the content was extremely useful and thought provoking. I had heard some of the ideas for increased productivity in the past but this presentation was a refreshing change and presented old concepts in new ways."

Heath Heatlie

"We will definitely be applying what we have learnt as a team."

Jenny Aldridge

"I think it all made us be a bit more respectful of each other's time."

Lucy Austin

"I liked the presentation style & the individual approach to each participant."

Tatiana Aleshina

"It was very specific and useful despite a very obvious topic ['Getting Your Inbox to Zero']. There were almost no 'common tricks' that everybody already knows."

Sergey Khit

"I hired Graham to deliver training to my peers and team and it went down brilliantly. The training opens your eyes to simple methods and techniques to managing your working day and ensuring you remain as efficient and productive as possible. The "Getting Your Inbox to Zero" training has worked brilliantly for me - My Inbox is (as of this morning!) still at zero and my weekly review sessions are great for setting direction for the coming few days. Brilliant and great VfM."

Tom Levitt,(MP) House of Commons

Workshop Participant

"I have gained the ability to accomplish more each day."

Workshop participant

"The whole idea of getting things done is quite amazing and life changing."

Workshop participant

"The session was brilliant! I've experienced a lot of training situations in both my current role and my last role and the session you ran was better than anything I've experienced before. I feel so much better equipped now to manage my emails particularly in regards to internal communications - my natural priority are my clients’ emails. Unbeknownst to my colleagues they owe you a massive debt of thanks."

Katie Boddy

"It was great as a line manger to understand how much time my team spent responding to e-mails, and then as a team we implemented the changes suggested. It has made us more efficient and aware of our weak spots. The challenge now is sticking to the change and not going back to old habits. The course is great fun and well worth the time and money."

Charmaine Sainsbury

"I found both courses we did very useful. People were amazed that they could get their inboxes down to zero. Within the organisation we’ve been trying to promote a ‘clean desk’ policy and improve our environmental impact. We’ve noticed a definite dramatic change within the organisation. So many people have adopted the changes that it’s actually followed on to other people within the organisation. It’s just alot more healthy and environmentally friendly, which is great."

Cassandra Jones

"The session and workshop above all helped clarify in my mind an improved way to categorize items and focus on output."

Workshop Participant

"I enjoyed it all, especially the interactions. This should be rolled out to everyone."

Workshop Participant

"Great delivery - pacey, funny and VERY useful."

Jackie Soulier

"For many of us, the concern for losing time at our desk is in part due to the overwhelming number of emails in our inboxes. Yesterday morning I had around 800 emails in my inbox – by the end of the day I had 0 – honestly! I now have a much clearer focus on what my priorities are and what my next actions should be. I feel liberated! Highly recommended (and should probably be compulsory!)."

Amanda Kanojia

"I Liked the way it was easily shaped around our specific concerns and proved how universal our problems are!"

April Tapping

"Concise, useful and not padded out with extra stuff." Workshop Participant

"It may seem very simple to many but until you are forced to do it and carry it through you do forget how essential it is. Think Productive has reminded me and helped set me on the right track to be more productive. Thank you."

Workshop Participant

"Think Productive set out the pieces of theory well and alternated well between the process and specifics about our own projects and working situations."

Workshop Participant

"I particularly liked the combination of presentation and group discussion, it felt very grounded in the issues we as a group were facing."

Salwa Dallalah

"As a students union officer, we have a lot of emails, meetings and decisions to make. I wish I had done this course a year ago and would recommend it to every student."

Josh Blacker

"Graham’s training allowed our students to develop practical techniques to manage their workloads, taking principles that were developed for the workplace, but put them in a context that students could relate to. The benefit of the at-desk coaching was that we were able to implement new twchniques straight away, rather than returning from a days’ training out of the office with twice as much to do."

John Braime

"It was a great session which made me think differently about meetings and how to get the most out of them. It was interesting listening to my colleagues."

Emily Marshall

"The ‘How to Survive Information Overload’ topic went down extremely well with our delegates who found it be both very insightful and entertaining. The session was well structured and the team were great at adapting to the needs of our conference."

Claire Brophy

"So much needless stuff gets in the way of doing a good job at work and ends up making life more stressful than it needs to be. Think Productive helped our staff "spring clean" their schedules and set them on a new course free(ish) of work clutter."

Christian Carter

"The at-desk coaching really got me going. Some very useful tips which I’ll stick to."

Workshop Participant

"Think Productive’s practical solutions to the problems most of us face on a daily basis have helped us not only rethink, but also implement positive changes that affect the way we approach our work. The Think Productive methodology is inherently complimentary to the management doctrine of Conceptual Continuity employed at Whitechapel Gallery: aiding the perpetual realignment of all activities to our core objectives and values."

Tom Wilcox

"Even 6 months on, the "How to Get Things Done" training we had is making its mark on our team, in fact, it’s even more evident now."
