"The Spiral Dynamics Workshops are hugely stimulating and thought provoking; I found them thoroughly enjoyable. The model is robust and adaptable and has helped bring clarity to many of the issues I work with. Spiral Dynamics is not just a splendid theory, it is an eminently practical model that can be applied to a surprisingly wide range of issues and situations. I warmly commend it to anybody trying to understand the unintelligible (or just having a thirst for learning)."
- David Burnby, Director, Common Purpose in Hull, 2001

"I had a great time. It was a pleasure to work with your and learn so much more about Spiral Dynamics."
- Wendy Baxter, Partner, Summit Consulting, 2001

"I definitely need time to reflect on the material. I appreciate its usefulness and appropriateness to life/work. I enjoyed the 'colours' – a very useful framework and tool. I will definitely use it - and have used it since day one. Thank you."
- Catherine Bainton, Director, Preston Road New Deal for Communities, Hull

" I like the colours! I would like to read up more on this...and would like to try and apply it more specifically to my project 'community houses' Thanks. It's been interesting – may need to re-visit this in a few months?"
- Fran Hodgkinson, Project Manager, Preston Road New Deal for Communities, Hull, 2002

"There was agreement amongst all six of the team that the day's outcomes would not have been possible without the SD training.
In fact, Max said at the end of the session that he was surprised to realise that he had gained far more benefit from the course than perhaps he and Paul realised at the time."
- Bernard McGuinn, Operations Manager, Hodgson Sealants Ltd, Beverley, 2002

"Exposure to this new concept has most certainly enhanced my understanding and commitment towards ensuring that I take into account people's modes of thinking and learning when going about my professional work."
- John Buttrick, Project Manager, Children's University, Hull, 2002

"Thank you. The two days were very interesting, hopefully useful, well presented and delivered. I especially like the use of music and pictures....I particularly liked the way the build up to the vMEMES on day one worked. Thanks again."
- Lou Howard, Community Liaison Manager, The Learning Shop, Hull, 2002

"It has uses for all areas of life - if life gives me enough time to apply it!!!!!"
- Jacky Wass, Community Investment Team, North Lincolnshire Council, 2002

"I've done lots of management training; and bits here and there have been really useful. But this seems to bring it all together. It seems to apply in all circumstances. I can't think of any situation in which I can't use it."

"...definitely gives the scaffold [for other models, tools and techniques] that you promised."
- Angela Lambert-Dowell, Freelance Trainer & Consultant, Howden, 2003

"I enjoyed your sharing of the ideas in Spiral Dynamics. There were things that challenged me and which I'm still considering and elements that I can get to grips with from the off. The point is that you made it a very enjoyable learning experience.... Thanks again for your generous sharing of expertise and openness."
- Lewis Lynch, Teacher, St Mary's College, Hull, 2001

"...has come at a time when I am engaged in a lot of personal change 'work' which I'm able to fit with the SD stuff. It clearly adds to present knowledge."
- Peter Smythe, Senior Lecturer in Social Work, University of Lincoln & Humberside, 2001

"It has given me a new reason to develop a belief in what I want I want to do - and how to do it. I may stop in teaching a little longer."
- Dave Southall, Teacher, Whitgift School, Grimsby, 2001
