Who Trusts Us
Dan BarlowWe recently worked with Deloitte Indirect Tax team in London, UK, providing a comprehensive personal branding program for their Consultants.
Here's what their Partner had to say
"Lesley & Walking TALL provided the Deloitte Indirect Tax team with an initial keynote at our annual conference, followed by an in-depth Personal Brand Development program of training and coaching for 50 of our consultants. The program was highly successful and led to our consultants reflecting on their own personal brand and how to build it.
The Personal Brand Development programme provided us some key areas of support with great results in:
* Communication excellence and relationship building
* Clarification of our absolute expertise we provide for our clients
* Confidence in the value our consultants bring to our clients
Working with Walking TALL and Lesley was a good experience – they brought an outside perspective to our people and business that we continue to benefit from."

“It has been a crazy few months since the “brand me” course, but life changing. Your course helped me focus on myself and what I need to do to get what I want. I am now an operations manager and I put that success down to the Personal Branding workshop at the waterfront. I have had to work hard but I still remember that simple message every time I walk into a new situation” you don’t get a second chance to make a first impression. Thank you”Steven Shaw
Operations Manager, WSH

“On behalf of the Talent Development team at CA Technologies thank you, Lesley! Leading with Your Personal Brand was our first Global Management and Leadership Academy speaker series event held outside of North America. It was our highest attended event ever with 710 employees accessing the event live from across the globe! The content, your delivery and the relevance to our employees was clear throughout the session and based on the number of questions and “chatter” from employees post-event you really connected with them. We are delighted with the impact of the event and we look forward to working with you again in the near future”Angela McKenna

“In a tough economic climate, retaining focus on people development is critical. The way our people behave and project themselves, in line with the corporate brand, becomes incredibly important. The work that Walking TALL does for organizations on the subject of personal branding and development is, in my view, an essential element in retaining customer loyalty and the best staff.”Judith Nelson

“One of the highlights last year was having Lesley come and talk to the department, which was discussed for many weeks following the event, I genuinely have never arranged a development session with such positive results.”Niall Garner

“Having attended Walking TALL’s course on Personal Brand Image it is something that all company secretaries should attend. The role of the company secretary has changed significantly over the last few years becoming a key member of a company’s executive, acting as the interface between the board, and the business and the custodian of governance. The key to this is to ensure that the company secretary is equipped with the personal attributes to have a real impact with their key stakeholders. Walking TALL provide the tools for this”Matthew Timmons
