When I first attended a session with David, my biggest fear involved putting on any kind of presentation or sales pitch. David enabled me to tackle that phobia very quickly. More importantly, he taught me how to focus my attention not on my own insecurities but on getting a really good result from pitches that would bring rewards to me and to my company. As a result, I now thoroughly enjoy the buzz of pitching for business, and speaking at conferences and dinners. This may sound dramatic, but what I learnt from David has not only been wonderful for my career, it has also changed my life – and changed it very much for the better.

The Najberg Milne presentation skills course was an astounding success. All of those who attended thoroughly enjoyed the two days, having gained enormous confidence and the expertise needed to be effective presenters.

Neville Baker, Resources Director

Najberg Milne’s unique ability to inspire even the most reluctant, confidence-lacking individuals and transform them into polished, seasoned and sparkling presenters is amazing.

The critical launch of our company to key members of the industry received rave reviews; it is genuinely a presentation that people still remember and a great deal of its success was down to their input. I would heartily recommend their services to all but my competitors.

Marc Swallow, Managing Director

What I have learnt over the past two days will stay with me for a lifetime.

Graham Harman, MD Emap Construct

The Najberg Milne course was a personal turning point for me as it gave me the confidence to start doing presentations with a lot more enthusiasm. And doing presentations, frankly, leads pretty directly to many good things.

The management training enabled me to put the skills I’d developed in my own haphazard way into a much more robust and useful framework that I could use much more effectively. Thoroughly recommended.

David Davies, MD Heat Magazine

Successful professional management could be defined as ‘achieving extra-ordinary results from ordinary people’. In order for managers to achieve this they must receive the right kind of training conducted in the right kind of atmosphere.

Najberg Milne’s experience, knowledge and presence enable them to extract the best from people who are lucky enough to work for a company that recognises their skills.

Whether considering training for sales, development or senior management, I would strongly recommend Najberg Milne as a company of outstanding quality.

Andrew Foster, Sales Training & Development Manager

What I learned from the course? To manage better, to get the best from people, to address problems / difficult people in a more direct efficient way.

David Milne worked for our company as a management consultant and trainer for three years. His unique approach to training had an immediate and lasting effect and, I believe, enhanced company performance generally. David’s success is based on his philosophy that companies will automatically be more successful if the individuals employed within them are able to attain personal fulfilment.

His experience in the theatre enables him to increase an individual’s awareness, not only of themselves and the part they play at work, but also of the team in which they work. This self-awareness, combined with an enhancement of self-esteem, enables them to work more effectively and achieve better results. David’s approach is very theatrical and colourful and, without losing the common touch, he is able to warm the coldest of hearts and effect change.

I have no hesitation in recommending David. I find his personal approach to training, whether it be specifically for managers or for teams, communication skills, presentations skills or “one-to-one” personal development training, important in the quest for an improvement in the quality of working life. David is able to put a human face on what is very often the hard face of business.”

Donald Sinclair, Personnel Manager

It’s a cliché but not an exaggeration to say that “Winning Hearts and Minds” changed my life. I did the courses over 10 years ago, and have felt their impact in every presentation, meeting and professional conversation I’ve had since.

David creates a framework for communication via storytelling that – if taken to heart – can change the way you explain yourself and your ideas forever. He also gives the kind of real-world presentation advice that is useful every single day.

Najberg Milne’s “Company success through personal fulfilment” approach cut through all the barriers that had been built up over the years and brought everybody on board to support the new vision.
