Testi­mo­ni­als

Bar­rier Break­ers’ work in human devel­op­ment is cut­ting edge. If you have a need for organ­iz­a­tion con­sult­ants, or for human cap­ital devel­op­ment, do not hes­it­ate to con­tact them.

BBM provided my team with a bril­liant way of look­ing bey­ond cur­rent bar­ri­ers, adopt­ing more enter­pris­ing approaches, and being increas­ingly adapt­able and respons­ive to change. It’s a power­ful approach that chal­lenges you to put aside pre­vi­ous habits of thought, and is of great value to indi­vidu­als and groups from all walks of life need­ing to sur­vive in our rap­idly evolving culture.

I found work­ing with Bar­rier Break­ers to be an entirely pos­it­ive exper­i­ence. Con­tent, plan­ning, present­a­tion — all bril­liant! I have no hes­it­a­tion in recom­mend­ing them. The advant­age that BBM has over other meth­ods is that it does not limit people within a clas­si­fic­a­tion and is con­text based, enabling each learner to be meas­ured in terms of their indi­vidual pro­gress rather than in a com­pet­it­ive environment.

Every­one should attend the BBM Found­a­tion day; it’s so worth­while and has so many applic­a­tions in work and per­sonal life. It really helped with my coach­ing tech­niques for oth­ers and my per­sonal busi­ness devel­op­ment as well. Thank you!

BBM pro­duced res­ults that were insight­ful, thought pro­vok­ing and pro­duct­ively chal­len­ging, both for our organ­isa­tion who com­mis­sioned the work and also for the indi­vidual inter­viewees. BBM’s tools for tack­ling the bar­ri­ers to com­mu­nic­a­tion in a vari­ety of ways were very helpful.

BBM has provided me with a great, simple, effect­ive struc­ture that I can now use to mon­itor my work envir­on­ment for bar­ri­ers — it’s already helped me pin­point and break through some really intransigent ones, and that’s saved a lot of time.

The day after the work­shop I had a con­ver­sa­tion with a col­league that I didn’t think would ever hap­pen. It had been caus­ing a massive drain, a lot of stress, and now that’s gone because I knew how to deal with it…result!

I came away from the work­shop feel­ing inspired – it gave mean­ing and struc­ture to my thoughts. I loved the day! BBM is such a fab thing and so inspir­a­tional!!

Excellent…I’d like another ses­sion! 10 out of 10 for everything!

I am thrilled to have found BBM. It provides a really use­ful sci­entific, rig­or­ous base to sup­port and enhance my work.

Bar­rier Break­ers is an ima­gin­at­ive and dynamic organ­isa­tion that strives to meet the needs of every­one they work with in a flex­ible, non-judgemental and access­ible man­ner. I have found them to be con­sist­ently respons­ive, reli­able and cre­at­ive in their plan­ning and delivery.

BBM has the poten­tial to trans­form indi­vidu­als and organ­isa­tions. Penelope is an amaz­ing change agent!

Judith Cherry

Head of Research and Insight, Oppor­tun­ity Now

BBM allows me to see what I need to provide next for each child to enable them to make pro­gress. It helps me to identify strengths and weak­nesses and address them appro­pri­ately. It’s import­ant to look at these skills at this stage in children’s devel­op­ment, as they have a key part to play in their learning.

This was a work­shop I wont for­get! And for all the right reas­ons. The con­cepts make sense, and I saw straight away how I’d apply them to improve things at work and at home.
