SPOTLIGHT

ILLUMINATING THE WAY TO BRING OUT THE BEST IN YOU, YOUR PEOPLE AND YOUR BUSINESS

Unlike the lengthy and sometimes costly consultations offered by some, Spotlight provides a swift yet thorough review of what your business may need to release untapped potential in your human resource. Dale Stafford carries out the review personally because she knows precisely what to look for. She then considers her findings and reports back to you, usually within a couple of days. In addition, full details of the solutions she considers would be of most benefit to your business are included. It’s that simple. 

SALES & PROFITS UP

“The daily grind of running a company can sometimes make you forget why you went into business in the first place. That's where Dale and The Department come in. They've a real knack of bringing out the best in people - me included.  Since we called them in our sales have increased by 20%, we're more profitable and I'm confident that's just the start."

EXCELLENT STYLE

“I have to say Dale, that you helped us run the most successful conference we've ever had in our history. Due, in no small measure to you and your excellent style of facilitation.”

She drew out skills and talents previously hidden in our team, helped us get the management team on board formulating and then implementing plans for growing the business. Her approach is totally different and tailored exactly to what you need. With her help, we’re transforming the way we think, work and perform and I’d highly recommend her to you.”

There's definitely such a thing as the 'Dale Effect' and it's really supporting us in achieving our objectives."
