Proclaim Academy

"Because Information Security at Allstate had seen substantial growth over the past three years, coupled with an international location strategy, we had a need to align as a leadership team on how we would lead the organisation into the future. We wanted a facilitated session for all global leaders across Security. Andrew Toogood spent an exceptional amount of time before the week long session understanding our needs, our growth, and where we wanted to take the global function in future years. As a result, the sessions were engaging, and fit our needs exactly. We have seen marked improvements in our leadership alignment after the week long sessions. Many times people quoting ‘what we learned in the Proclaim sessions’. I don’t think I could have offered any places where the content or delivery could have been improved"

“I am delighted to recommend this course to our members. As someone who has struggled with nerves in communication & presenting I found this course helped me enormously in building my skills and confidence whilst allowing me to be myself. This is a key skill for women today in the workplace and having the ability to influence & persuade effectively has a huge positive impact on our work

Andrew Toogood is one of the best communicators that I have ever come across. In my role as CEO Business in the Community we invested a lot in training and development - I have therefore been exposed to a significant range of "consultants" over many years. I would place Andrew at the very top of the Premier League of leadership specialists. His background research on his client is faultless. He makes sure that he thoroughly understands the organisation and its needs and objectives rather than regurgitating a formulaic program. He also ensures he understands the individual  participants and manages to tread the fine line of empathising with them as individuals while focusing on the  demanding requirements they must meet in their job roles. Andrew appreciates the commercial realities and demands of the business world. Andrew is a fairly unique individual  because he encompasses such an array of skills. He has real  business experience and understands what it's like to have to  'close the deal'. He is also a great teacher and councillor so  combines  the skills of getting the message across in a simple,  succinct and engaging manner with appropriate pastoral care for the individual. I have absolutely no hesitation in giving Andrew my recommendation”
