What Clients Say

On Esther Cameron and Nick Mayhew, working together: “Over 12 months, with a very focused use of time, Nick and Esther supported a step-change in business performance against our key business metrics and helped us to deliver some fundamental shifts in the organisation's culture. A 'double-act', they offer an unusual combination of edgy insights, human warmth, creative tension and supportive skill-building, and an ability to respond to changing client needs while keeping a constant focus on business needs.” Ton Wielers, Production Manager in a Global Manufacturing Company "Nick and Esther had a unique ability to see our issues in an holistic way. They worked alongside a wide range of leaders, helping us to align our people, and supporting us to see things from the point of view of followers, staff, stakeholders, partners, Politicians and Board Members." Eric Robinson, Director of Social Care and Health, Staffordshire County Council On Esther Cameron: “Esther brought the expertise to ensure that theoretical models were put into situational context and become real value added tools, rather than remain as the pages of a text book. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Esther. She doesn’t pull the punches (some people who practice in this area are too "fluffy") and works hard to make sure that people don't hide behind the many veils that sometimes shroud their behaviours. This leads to a freshness and honesty in individuals and groups and allows them to focus on what they need to do and how they will go about it. ” Mark Holloway, ex-Commercial Finance Director, Allied Domecq Plc, Bristol, UK "Esther’s facilitation of our team session at the Senior Management Team off-site was absolutely first class.... It was the best conversation we've ever had together… We would never have got there on our own...” Chief Technologist with a Global Manufacturing Company “Esther worked with myself and my executive team through an intensive period of change, offering coaching, facilitation and change management advice. We gained clear alignment on priorities and action plans through this collaboration. She is fun to work with and able to formulate and deliver some tough messages, but without losing the plot or the engagement of the teams.” Howard Orme, Director of Finance, Civil Service On Nick Mayhew: “Performance has dramatically improved and we are now ahead of plan... What I had seen up to the offsite was a group of individuals all wrestling with their own objectives and priorities. What we came away with was a more collective team, with a clear set of priorities - just what I was looking for. It certainly brought the team together more and unified it around the key tasks. So, thank you, Nick!” Chief Executive, Financial Services firm “Nick, I am grateful to you for the work you did with us ... Our discussion at meetings now shows a maturity and level of respect which simply wasn’t there a year ago. Everyone is now making much more effort to bring discussions to the team in a timely way and contribute positively. I am far more confident in managing the agendas and chairing meetings, even when the discussion gets heated or difficult. The energy is really positive...” Chief Executive in the Health Sector "It was a pleasure to work with you. I firmly believe that your involvement was the key to the programme's subsequent success with the Directorate management team group. As a result of your work, the team dynamic shifted remarkably and their ownership of the transformation work was itself transformed. I would not hesitate to use you again or recommend you with confidence to clients and colleagues." Transformation Director within Capita plc
