We have partnered with Robert since 2015 and he has consistently delivered a high standard in all that he does. From his consulting skills, to design and delivery, Robert always brings a positive attitude and a great energy, resulting in an impactful learning experience for our employees.
We consider Robert a valued partner and look forward to continuing this partnership.

We have worked with Solstice Consulting since the start to the 2019 season. I’m sure I speak for the whole Leitrim squad when I say that Robert’s positive influence on the team has had a major contribution to us achieving our promotion to division 3. He is particularly skilled at understanding what our needs are and then working in partnership to co-design the right solutions.

I also really liked the way he was able to positively influence the team from session to session to ensure we achieved our high performing team objectives.

In the past year Robert has coached myself and twenty of our senior and middle managers as part of a leadership development programme. Not only has he successfully increased the awareness of the managers around the standards of what great leadership looks like, he has helped the managers to get clarity and commitment in coming up with their own realistic, yet stretching personal action plans to increase their leadership effectiveness and improve their positive impact at all levels of the business.
Due to Robert’s positive enthusiasm and professional approach, we are now seeing sustainable positive behavioural changes in the majority of the managers involved in the programme. I personally enjoyed every minute of working with Robert which I found very inspiring and effective.

Solstice Consulting were engaged to deliver a Leadership Development program to 12 middle managers which commenced in March and was completed in November 2018. It consisted of 6 initial coaching workshops before leading into team projects which were supervised by internal mentors. The results were transformational for the business in that we now have a group of highly ambitious employees who are completely aligned with the strategy of the business and are ‘promotion ready’ in terms of taking up senior management roles within the business as they arise. Solstice led the project from the outset, establishing an implementation program, designing the course material in collaboration with the senior management team, facilitated the workshops, designing and moderating the assessment presentations at the end of the project.

As an ancillary benefit the organisation responded to the positive signals in terms of career advancement and supporting this journey in terms of a marked reduction in staff ‘churn’ rates. We believe that this resulted in savings of over 200k in shadowing, training, induction and lost productivity costs in a financial year.

During the feedback sessions the participants praised the support and management/leadership training provided by Robert as it prepared them to face the challenges of adopting specific projects, managing time and taking on more responsibility. The program also provided the participants with time off site to work on their own skills and personal development facilitated by Robert and Solstice with professionalism and empathy.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Solstice to organisations with ambitious growth plans. The partnership with Robert has prepared us to meet future challenges and enabled us to clearly define strategy while equipping the business with the necessary skills and expertise to achieve and exceed our goals.

Robert assisted with the planning, preparation and design of our two day company wide Strategy and Culture conference in October 2018. He also successfully facilitated 200 attendees in sessions on values and behaviours and the launch of our monthly one to one conversations programme. This conference was an opportunity to look back and celebrate success and to look forward and engage and motivate all employees by creating clarity on the 2020 strategy and what we as high performing teams and individuals need to do to achieve our goals and commitment in living the values and creating the culture that will make Cluid a great place to work.
What I particularly liked about the way Robert worked was, it felt like a genuine partnership working with him as he always had our organisations best interests at heart. He provided great support and also challenged to help us get the most out of the conference and the attendees.

After meeting a number of different coaches, and looking at various options for personal professional development, Robert stood out. He is very friendly, very focused, and works to an effective program. I believe that the work I did with Robert has had a very significant influence on my approach and my career. I wouldn't hesitate recommending working with him, and wish him every success.

I have worked with Robert over the last four years. The main area that we have collaborated on was the introduction of "Greenline Conversations" to my sale & marketing team, which was led by Robert. ‬
I have also had personal experience with Robert as a coach. Again I found this relationship very professional and productive and I would have no hesitation in recommending Robert for executive coaching work.

Robert facilitated a change management programme that I managed during my role as Head of Bottling Operations. Robert is very good at taking stock to ensure that we were on track to achieve the goals I set for the programme. We achieved the goals.
Furthermore Robert is a trusted coach and mentor to me. I would have no hesitation in recommending him to facilitate any leadership and change management programmes in your organisation‬

Robert has managed our team and I for 10 years. As a boss he is unusually well liked and respected by the team. He's very capable of landing the tough messages when necessary, quick to praise and to thank and even to apologise. As a coach, helping others to develop their management skills, Robert is the real deal. He is capable of drawing on his genuine experience base, rather than just spinning out the latest model or feel good mantra. There's no bullshit with Robert. He's honest, skilled and fun. In recent years when faced with management challenges myself, I've realised how much I learned from Robert. Thank you Mr Moorhouse. ‬

Robert has done a lot of work in my company over the last 5 years, particularly in the areas of culture change, managing growth and team coaching. He gained a very good insight into the workings of the company and was able to use this knowledge to customise his methods to our peculiarities. He built very good relationships with all of the staff and I would recommend him for similar work in your organisation. I would intend on using Robert into the future.

Whether as coach, consultant, facilitator or trainer Robert always has our best interests at heart and he has made a very positive difference to the performance of our organisation.
