Laura was a fantastic coach and really helped me in my development journey. I learned a lot of valuable skills from her that I have implemented into my day to day workings. The techniques that Laura taught me helped me to retrain my brain, the way I think and my approach to tasks. Laura helped me to realise that something as simple as the way you talk to yourself out loud can have an impact on the way in which you view yourself and your abilities. I could not recommend her highly enough.
Matt Duncan - PA to the Director & YBS Agency Manager - Stan Sherlock AssociatesLaura has recently delivered an Unlocking the Power of Rapport, Relationships and Transactional Analysis session for our staff at Eden Valley Hospice and Jigsaw.
Laura completely understood our needs and hit the brief perfectly in terms of content.
Her delivery style, engaging and warm manner makes her sessions extremely enjoyable and informative. She created a real buzz amongst the team (who all particularly enjoyed the Lego section!)
A big thank you to Laura. I am looking forward to welcoming her back to the hospice to deliver another session soon.

Eve Robertson - Head of People Services - Eden Valley Hospice and Jigsaw Children's HospiceI have had the pleasure of working with Laura Cadman at SP Training since November, and it’s clear she is a remarkable asset to any team. Laura played a pivotal role in developing our Transport and Warehouse Operation Supervisor apprenticeship, focusing on Leadership and Management to significantly enhance our learners' experience. Her contributions didn’t stop there. Laura was instrumental in shaping our Level 5 Operational Departmental Management Apprenticeship, adding substantial value through her expertise and dedication.
Laura's capacity for mentorship stood out, as she provided essential guidance to our leadership coach, ensuring our learners receive unparalleled service and support. Her professionalism, hard work, and commitment to excellence have profoundly impacted our team and the services we offer.
Thank you, Laura, for your outstanding contributions and for setting a high standard of professionalism and dedication. Your efforts have truly made a difference at SP Training, and I’m confident you will continue to excel and inspire in your future endeavours.

Ian Silver - Sector Lead for Apprenticeships and Logistics - System PeopleLaura opened our International Women’s Day event which took place on 8th March. An inspiring session which encouraged attendees to give compliments and stickers! The room had a real buzz and great energy and some had a wonderful array of colour thanks to the many stickers they received. Laura’s session set everyone up for a really powerful and inspiring day of keynote speakers, workshops and a panel discussion so thank you Laura Cadman for your contribution and sponsorship
Lesley Robinson - Head of Business Support - Cumbria Chamber of CommerceLaura provided a tailored Corporate Management Team development event, effectively extracting and capturing the challenges and opportunities that exist in the contemporary operating environment.
Laura quickly established a rapport with all of the team, built trust, and was able to facilitate a space in which people could think, contribute, reflect, and plan.
Laura’s approach is adaptable and well balanced.
It was clear from the pre-briefing conversations, and the outset of the event itself, that Laura does not apply an ‘off the shelf’ methodology.
Very pleased with the useable outputs of the development event that Laura was commissioned to deliver.

Richard Rout - Corporate Director - Halton Borough CouncilHighly recommend coaching with Laura.
Laura worked with me to look at things from
a different perspective, taking me from a place of over thinking, procrastinating and feeling stuck to getting things done in a way that’s manageable for me.
Things I was getting bogged down with are now getting ticked off and it feels so good seeing the progress.
That accountability really helped me move out of my comfort zone and gave me the confidence to believe in myself and my decisions and recognise what’s important to me.
Laura’s lovely to work with and I’m so grateful for her brilliant coaching.

Claire Imrie - Office & Accounts Manager - PMS Fabrication LtdLaura continues to work with myself and the leadership team at the Society. From the very first moment she has demonstrated expertise in her profession by showing an understanding of what our leaders require and how she can support and challenge us as individuals and as a wider team to become more confident leaders and a more cohesive and productive team. I have no hesitation in highly recommending Laura to anyone who may be considering investing in her services.
Tim Bowen - CEO - Penrith Building SocietyHaving worked with Laura now for over 3 months, I highly recommend the Coaching Support.
This was an intensive program of focused learning allowing me to dig deep into the core issues and deal with them, giving me some reliable techniques and tools to use now going forward as I need them.
The sessions were flexible, allowing me to face any issues arising as we went. For me the whole process was highly transformative, I completely trust Laura and felt able to be open and honest to face any limiting beliefs. I have learnt lots about how to program my brain to serve me best and to recognise successes and celebrate them.
This coaching is one of the best work decisions I've certainly made and I look forward to working with Laura again in the future.

Naomi Morgan - Skills Program Bootcamp Manager - Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP)Laura is so wonderfully encouraging and has really helped me focus where I would like to direct my energy.
I worked with Laura because I wanted to be the best leader I could be. I wanted to be able to bring people with me on a journey to success. I'm enthusiastic, a motivator and inspirer but often worry about what others think. I was looking for validation everywhere but where it mattered!
One of the things Laura helped make me realise is that I am the only person responsible for my own success. Success is self created and largely through the words you tell yourself.... The way I describe myself to others and the way I describe myself in my inner most thoughts. It's about what I believe. Feeding your mind with positivity will change the way you feel and behave and for me created an inner confidence that enables me to put the need for others' validation to bed. A quiet confidence that I make good decisions. Thank you Laura!

Emma Sherlock - Director of Operations - Stan Sherlock AssociatesLaura worked with us to create our 'Women's Network, Building Confidence and Resilience' programme. She understood our needs, created something that worked and engaged the users, but also had a huge impact on their confidence because they started to understand the impact they had on people, how to reframe that impact and it also gave them tools and techniques they could apply in work or in their personal lives. Laura totally pitched herself to her audience to make them feel comfortable, and I would love to work with her again. Thank you Laura
Heather Grisedale - Employee Engagement Lead - McVitiesEveryone should see Laura. Not only had she helped me reframe and overcome challenges when I actually see her in person but continues to weekly when Laura’s voice in my head catches me reinforcing a self limiting belief and makes me cut it out. She’s excellent.
Emma Porter - Managing Director - Story PlantWhen I first started on my journey with Laura, I thought I was going to learn how to become a more efficient businesswoman and gain knowledge in how to be the best CEO I can be. But what Laura has actually taught me is that I WILL be the best and most efficient CEO if I believe I can be. From the moment you wake up, to the moment you rest your head at night, it's all about mindset. You are only as good as your mindset.
Laura Cadman has taught me to retrain my mindset for success - not just in business but in all areas of my life.
Her services have been invaluable through developing my thinking habits and ideas to increase my focus and drive like never before.
Her eye opening methods and nurturing approach as an NLP professional made me feel at ease in developing brand new ways of thinking to reach new heights in my productivity, clarity in my vision and to have the confidence to know I am capable of my ambitions.

I couldn't recommend Laura more highly to every business owner, or leader who is looking to take the next step in their path to truly discovering their real capabilities and enjoying every step along the way.
Lou Kneath - CEO at +3k Animation Studios CumbriaLaura shines a light into the depths of our conscious and unconscious thoughts. Her teaching style is easy to follow and engaging. I've only been working with her for a short time, but already I can see vast improvements in myself.
Robyn Cowan - Consultant - Muse AdvisoryI found myself, at the beginning of lockdown, feeling like I wasn’t capable of running Fletcher’s Fund, and finding it all just a bit too much. My confidence had been knocked, and the prospect of navigating a national pandemic, being a mother, wife and charity founder / CEO / person that wears all the hats and whilst retaining some sense of who I was as an individual was just awful. Then I came across Laura, quite by chance, whilst looking for something else entirely. Laura was mentioned to me, as someone with a wealth of experience with imposter syndrome, which I was feeling in about every aspect of my life, but also with charity work.
She has given me back my confidence, self-belief and given me tools and ideas and a new way of thinking about it all, that no longer scares or overwhelms me, but fires me up and drives me to take on the (very many) challenges of running a small, busy charity and running with them to succeed. I asked Laura to take away the glass ceiling that I had placed on myself through fear of not being good enough, and my word, has she done that!
Watch out world – Fletcher’s Fund is coming for ya, and it’s a little bit brilliant – or as Laura would now tell me – it’s not a ‘little bit’, it’s really very brilliant!
Thanks, Laura, you’re a star. And a lovely lovely human being to boot.
Leanne Fisher - Founder - Fletchers FundI felt that the training you gave us:
- gave staff a valuable insight in to a different way of thinking
- made us feel that it is ok not to feel ok (if you see what I mean)
- we have the power of change within us
- you were clear and precise in your delivery
- the tasks were very good and understandable
- everyone could participate
- made us feel good in ourselves
- good idea to have 1:1 and small group sessions
- you fitted a lot in to a short space of time
- it was refreshing not to be bombarded with an electronic presentation and Powerpoint overload
It was a great morning and all staff felt included and it was beneficial to them. We will need to do another session some time in the new year.
