Nick Toombs - Management Development Consultant – Profile

Nick a Chartered Fellow of the CIPD has worked for many years for blue chip companies within HR and Learning and Development.
Having set up his own Training and Consultancy practice he now specialises in the design and delivery of Leadership and Management Development solutions for a wide range of organisations.

Why choose Nick’s services when there are a number of training organisations in the market? The answer is simple. His training programmes do not rely just on theory and models. Having worked as a Senior HR and Training professional within Media, Healthcare, IT & Finance Sectors he has managed teams of his own and shares his management successes (and failures!) with his delegates, bringing practical experience and tips and techniques into the learning environment that can inspire confidence and allow participants to gain skills to make them the best they can be. This also makes business sense because better equipped managers contribute to the bottom line, something that is crucial in today’s world of economic uncertainty.

With overseas experience delivering Leadership and Management programmes in Dubai, he is able to undertake work internationally as well as in the UK.

Nick believes that successful Leaders/Managers are those who are able to be “authentic” in their management style. This requires being able to adapt behaviour to meet the needs of the situation and connect with individuals in their world not just rely on good processes and procedures.

To quote Stephen Covey….”Leadership has two sides – what a person is (character) and what a person does (competence)”

Qualified to level “A” and “B” in psychometrics, he has the ability to help managers understand their preferred behavioural style and the style of others in order to reach the best solution in a range of situations.

He is also experienced in 360 degree feedback which can be very powerful when identifying strengths and development areas for self improvement.

Often asked what magic ingredient makes a business successful. His answer is always the same – the people! Whether it’s Apple, Virgin, or Google, the ability of organisations to unleash the talents, aspirations and creativity of the workforce is what makes companies successful. Managers can either be the enablers in this process or unfortunately sometimes the barrier!

That is why choosing Nick Toombs Consultancy to support your business rather than just another training organisation makes perfect sense. But don’t just take Nick’s word for it – See his testimonials page on this site for an unbiased view from Chief Executives / Senior Managers who have commissioned him, as well as feedback from participants who have been through the Nick Toombs Experience!

Specialising in the delivery of in-house management training events, there are a number of management skill workshops that can be tailored to suit the requirements of individual organisations. These are delivered as part of the “Managers Toolkit”. The workshops contained within the “Toolkit” can be commissioned as a suite to give managers all the essential management skills they need for success, or taken separately as one off workshops dependent upon level and need.
