Enhancing Skills and Nurturing Talent

Enhancing Skills & Nurturing Talent

Effective skills development is critical to every organisation’s success and competitiveness.

Our one-to-one mentoring and coaching support delivers real advantage to those wishing to develop their skills, tackle a challenging in-house project or for recent hires getting to grips with a new role or a new sector.

Our interactive in-house seminars are designed to address the real challenges faced by staff. They focus upon tangible skills development, measurable action planning supported by case studies, best practice insight and “surgeries” for live problems.

Rosemary Stamp is a sought-after facilitator and Leadership Foundation Key Associate. She facilitates the Stamp Consulting Master Class series and skills development seminars. She teaches on the Institute of Education’s MBA in Higher Education Management, the University of Warwick’s International Programme in HE Management and contributes to the Leadership Foundation’s Leadership Development, Governor Development and Strategic Leaders programmes.

“Rosemary Stamp has facilitated our annual support staff skills development for several years: she is excellent at motivating staff, stimulating discussion and getting the best out of people in the skills development environment. Those attending the tailored seminars work in a range of roles in a diverse Directorate. Rosemary’s skill has been bringing this group together, getting them to think outside their own areas of work and, in doing so, contributing to creative ideas to help the Directorate continue to move forward. This is achieved thanks to Rosemary’s careful planning, plus her flexibility in responding to group dynamics on the day.”

“Rosemary Stamp presented a series of marketing skills development seminars for us aimed at helping student money advisers to more effectively engage students with financial issues. She took the time to speak to us and several money advisers to gain a real understanding of the problems and challenges we sought to address in the skills development. In the seminars, Rosemary showed great skill in communicating marketing concepts in an approachable and relevant way. She also supported the advisers in the identification of practical ways to implement good marketing into their everyday work, helping to ensure that the training led to improved practice on the ground. Feedback from the Student Money Advisers on the day was overwhelmingly positive and we are still receiving enquiries about future training events with Rosemary.”

Rebecca Harrison Senior Policy Associate, Money Advice Service

“Rosemary Stamp facilitated a specialist seminar programme for senior academic staff from across the University to address strategic challenges. Her skills in translating key issues for a particular audience are second to none. Seldom have I experienced such a productive yet enjoyable day’s event. Rosemary’s credibility and wealth of experience were invaluable, but most importantly she was able to gauge the interests and mood of her audience to fully engage them in the materials and tasks. She uses a variety of innovative approaches to retain her audience’s attention and relates to participants with real warmth of personality and humour. I am still receiving positive feedback from colleagues – many of whom are not easy to please!”
