WHO WE WORK WITH

WHAT THEY'RE SAYING

We have worked with Leading Minds for several years now.  They have assisted us with our trainee development programme and we always sign up to their series of multi-firm webinars which complements our annual wellbeing programme brilliantly.  I find the fact that the multi-firm sessions are aligned to many of the national and international awareness days that we’d be acknowledging as a Firm anyway really useful and helps me in my role as Development & Wellbeing Manager.  The content of all their sessions is always hugely relevant to our people as the coaches and trainers have a unique and in depth understanding of the key challenges and pressures faced by those working in the legal industry.  It’s always a pleasure to work with Marie and Claire – they’re hugely knowledgeable and passionate about what they do and it’s this along with their sector specific content that sets them apart from other resilience and mental health training providers.  I’m not alone at Clarke Willmott in saying we all look forward to their sessions.

Moving into continued uncertain times and following the profound changes to the way we work these last few years, Burges Salmon identified that Leading Minds could offer an authoritative and practical support programme for our Client Support Teams. Having adjusted the way that they support their legal teams, this was a cohort who faced a significant change to their traditional way of operating, and did so with professionalism and no end of enthusiasm. As more people return to working from our offices more regularly, we commissioned Leading Minds to support this team around their emotions around, and the practicalities of, this next big change. Having launched the programme last week, we are certain that our people will benefit significantly from these sessions, helping them to continue to thrive.”

We have been working with Leading Minds since 2020, when their multi-firm webinars provided practical and cost-effective support in a difficult time, and now form a regular part of our mental health and wellbeing programme. A number of staff also took their Mental Health Awareness course and found it valuable and relevant. Leading Minds demonstrate a strong understanding of the legal environment and are unfailingly professional, enthusiastic, and a pleasure to deal with.

From the moment we spoke with Leading Minds, we were impressed by their professionalism, their understanding of the market, and their ability to adapt the training they provide to our specific requirements. With experience in the commercial sector, they showed a deep understanding of the concerns facing our members and they were committed to going above and beyond to ensure we were satisfied with the training our members received.

The Corporate Law Academy 

We were looking to engage with a provider that understood the legal sector and could support our supervisors and trainees/apprentices within a hybrid environment.  Leading Minds provided our supervisors with some really useful tools and through their trainee programme, allowed us to create a space for our trainees and apprentices to talk through any challenges they were facing.  In addition we’ve used their multi-firm sessions to complement our overall wellbeing strategy and have found Leading Minds to be very knowledgeable both in terms of the challenges the legal sector faces and the tools that make a difference to the wellbeing of our people.

The session was really helpful and informative.  Very useful tips and a more clear understanding of how to look after yourself and others, understanding more about options to reduce stress such as mindfulness and meditation, mind-set and relax and release. I feel like the presenter had a good understanding of the pressures of we face and was able to relate to us based on her own corporate experience.

Multi-Firm Session 

The course was fantastic, based on the current covid-19 pandemic that we are facing, the course was held online,
and the resources sent in the post. I feel much more confident about approaching / assisting an individual should I need to do so. Marie Dillon was very informative and a great mental health first aider provided, I would highly recommend.

The session was really helpful and informative. Claire is a great coach and I love how she refers to her personal experiences within the legal environment. Since implementing my habits from the last session I've noticed a big improvement in how I handle the stress of my role and the knock-on benefits to my productivity.

Trainee Programme

Laura was great in our MHFA training - very energetic and relatable.  She navigated us through the materials sensitively and was very encouraging. I feel I have a better understanding of mental health conditions and feel better placed to recognize signs of strain, so I can offer help and start a dialogue with anyone who might be struggling.

I have loved the Leading Minds trainee sessions. I actually find myself actively looking forward to them as I am someone who is really trying hard to build a better working from home routine and appreciate all the tips. I'm really keen for more sessions from Leading Minds.

I found the Mental Health Awareness course useful and thought-provoking. The tutor hit exactly the right note with a mix of teaching and group discussion. This sort of training would be a helpful foundation for managers and team leaders and was a good starting place for our office initiatives.

That was the most useful webinar I've attended! It really helped me understand the how I can start to apply the habits and strategies to my daily life that will help both my health and performance.

Marie has been fantastic at getting across the key points of the course. She is a brilliant instructor, great listener and I feel well equipped to begin my role as a well-being ambassador within my firm.

Well presented. Very friendly. Appreciated the openness with which the coach approached taboo topics e.g. feeling isolated/overwhelmed.  I feel these sessions have hugely supported me both personally and professionally.

Trainee Programme

Learned a lot of information in a short period of time. With the help of Marie it was understandable and relatable. Really enjoyed the course and I have taken away a lot of information and confidence.

I particularly like that there are actionable solutions to issues raised so you not only come away feeling motivated and understood but empowered to actually make positive lasting changes.
