We partner with

I have known Laura for many years and I cannot recall a single conversation with her that hasn't left me feeling enriched and uplifted. Her emotional intelligence and ability to analyse things so clearly has always impressed me. She is clearly in the ideal profession and is thriving, doing what she does best to help others. It is a joy and an honour to have her as a friend.

The Salmon Swimming team possess a great ability to work cross industry and in different contexts. Providing and extracting from you insight with practical steps to help. It's been great working with them and you always leave with a sense of clarity on how to tackle life's challenges. I would certainly recommend the team.

I think I can speak for all of us when I say (the 5 Voices workshop) was really, really useful for us as a team... I felt that the goal and purpose of helping us facilitate better communication as a team was met and I feel that we have been able to better communicate, mindful of each other’s natural voice tendencies since the session.

Laura Mears of Salmon Swimming Team & Leadership Development provided a fascinating training session for our students... It was a very worthwhile session and we are sure the practical suggestions and Laura’s encouraging manner inspired everyone to manage their time more effectively, making adjustments that will help with this.

Working with Laura has been life changing. For the first time I'm beginning to really understand & know myself which is already having a huge positive impact on my leadership. It feels my eyes have been opened & I'm seeing the world in a different light. The team workshops have been engaging, interactive & empowering. Seeing my team respond & interact in such a positive way in the sessions can only lead to better collaboration & a healthier team culture.

The toolkit and vocabulary that Salmon Swimming has provided through workshops led by Laura have quite simply revolutionised my behaviour! I only wish I had been given this support years ago when I worked as a behaviour management teacher.

Excellent, well-pitched workshop, both informative and enjoyable. Getting our team to really look at our different voices of leadership and how to work to get the best out of each other. I cannot really think of an improvement, it was pitched and timed just right. While working on our own self-reflection it was also very interesting inviting some feedback on the observations of others on how we work.

I just wanted to get in touch to say a heartfelt thank you for the Healthy Leader Course. You really inspired me to be more reflective and intentional as a leader. It was also great to get to know other members of the Organisation, which is not always very easy. You were also good at putting us at our ease.

Laura was an extremely inspiring coach for our team workshop series. She is very clear in her messaging and encouraging to people that may not normally 'speak up'. Highly recommend her!

Thank you for delivering a brilliant workshop. I’ve heard such wonderful comments across the team!

Everyone in the business loves these training sessions. Really useful in helping understand self, how we interact, and work as a team. By spending some time with Laura a few weeks before our latest session she was able to tailor it to target an area where our business needs to have a mindset change.

Our leadership 1-2-1 session is the conversation I most look forward to in the whole month. It is so helpful for getting outside my own head, for processing the most important presenting challenges, and receiving strategic input on next steps. I just value it so much.

Thank you for really helping me to be aware of, and celebrate my good qualities (something I struggle to recognise!) ...as well as how to improve elements of my personality that may hinder my effectiveness in the role. I feel like I am on the way to becoming a much better leader, wife, daughter, friend and mother too!

The highlight of our recent conference was the 5 voices Personality session led by Laura Mears, which empowered participants to discover their foundational leadership voices and build confidence in applying them to their unique journeys. It was exactly what we wanted and needed!
