It’s great working with =mc. They provide energising and motivating training on priority management that really tackles our core challenges. I have already seen tangible results in our team’s work and, best of all, it has completely reinvigorated the team!

Andre Wilkens, Director, Open Society Institute Brussels


I have always turned to =mc for my professional development. They offer everything I am looking for – creative, professional, and practical solutions – toolkits that work across management challenges and fundraising and communications issues! These have helped me generate step-change, delivering threefold increases in income. The range of training they offer is extensive and they are constantly developing and offering new programmes to meet the changing needs in the charity sector.

Laurie Gardner, Director of Fundraising, Quarriers


=mc provides solutions to all of our essential development needs – from effective time management to powerful communication skills. We have seen fantastic results emerging from the training which has really strengthened the work we do at ODI.

Sau-Wah Lam, Senior Human Resources Officer, Overseas Development Institute


We're very impressed with the quality of =mc's training. They deliver high quality, relevant and enjoyable programmes that have really benefited staff at WWF. I look forward to working with =mc to meet our future training needs.

Ajay Barai, Training & Development Manager, WWF


As a new customer, we’re very impressed with =mc’s intelligent and practical training solutions. The in-house programme delivered was a great success and we’ve seen tangible benefits across our team. We’re very excited to see what other success lies ahead with =mc as we continue our partnership!

Jane Arnell, Director of Fundraising, Sense


I consistently receive execeptional feeback from staff who really value the relevance and real life application of =mc's training. They are responsive to our needs as an organisation and deliver work that is pitched just right for us.

Debbie Prince, HR Development Manager, Macmillan Cancer Support


NSPCC staff have consistently benefited from the high standard of training delivered by =mc over the years. We are looking forward to seeing excellent results again in the forthcoming year.

Jo Higginson, Training and Development Co-ordinator, NSPCC


You can really see the positive effect =mc’s training has had at the Authority. Staff have been able to directly apply the learning to their work and we continue to successfully implement the tools and techniques at all levels. The support from =mc has been fantastic, both pre and post course, and we’ll definitely come back for help with our future training needs.

Ian Nicholls, Personnel Officer, North York Moors National Park Authority


=mc's ideas and practical approaches have consistently proved powerful and helpful in our work. I would whole-heartedly recommend =mc to anyone looking for high quality training and consultancy.

Kate Gilmore, Executive Deputy Secretary General, Amnesty International


=mc has a wealth and breadth of knowledge, a terrific understanding and vast experience of the ethos and culture of the not-for-profit sector. This together with their 'anything is possible' approach made =mc an obvious choice for the RNLI to partner with, to develop and deliver in-house training for our staff.

Marie Smith, Training and Development Manager, RNLI


The training delivered by =mc is highly creative and makes you really re-examine your own approach to learning. It's refreshing to work with a training provider that is supportive and really understands the culture of our organisation.

Valerie Joseph,
Personnel Officer,
