The best course I have been on this year.

The buzz word around the office has been “Rest & Digest”. Really hit home so of the points you may about Mental Strength cause, counter-intuitively cause poor resilience.
Stress as a good positive force is useful concept. Especially to get to the peak in your graph without going over the other-side.
The (throwaway?) comments about growing up in an Estate and a learned behaviour to show a bland face - was an good challenge on unconsciousness bias. Which may have exposed how I can incorrectly judge people.

Overall brilliant - thank you.
— Helen A - Transport for London

A quick note of thanks for a fantastic hour on Friday morning. It was an enjoyable, informative and engaging session and I’ve had nothing but really positive feedback from the team. The content is so relevant and relatable for all the team.
— David P - Senior Programme Manager (Direct Delivery) Eastern Region Network Rail

Just a quick summary for you re today’s workshops… The feedback is very positive and everyone is buzzing about it so really pleased. For the session I attended it was excellent, great style and content, well-paced and everyone got loads from it.
5 stars from Oxford.
— Chris Harvey| Organisational Development and Learning Manager| Oxford City Council

I thought the talk was really engaging and interesting and I have heard nothing but good feedback (and our team can be quite cynical so that’s real praise!).
Thanks again.
— Catherine - Head of Programme, 4LM

As Spence & Nathan are aware, I joined the first 7 Futures Wellbeing session that was held today and wanted to say I thought it was brilliant!

The webinar was really well delivered, I thought the content was spot on and the delivery & flow between Nathan, Hannah and Mark was excellent. Thank you for delivering such a great session – it really gave me some food for thought personally.
Thank you all for your support in turning this into a reality. I know this programme will make a real difference to people.

Well done!
— Gemma L - Health & Wellbeing Lead, Siemens Mobility

What an incredible session you delivered yesterday! Your insights were absolutely fascinating and our employees loved it – we had over 100 people join and everyone is singing you praises!

I thoroughly enjoyed it and learned so much from you, so thank you so much for all the hard work you put into this.

The session yesterday was a roaring success and we’d love to have you again.
— Holly C

The series has been great, I’ve followed it through all the way, and for all I was doing quite a few of the exercises already watching Sarah has helped me adjust my technique, and given me a greater understanding of how one area of the body can affect another.
Feedback from the team is that Sarah guided them through with ease, the techniques were easy to understand and follow, and not too difficult that it was off putting, and the benefits have been great.
— Alan M - Siemens Neville Hill

Turned out to be a fantastic event, hosted by a fantastic team.
I’ve had nothing but positive feedback from those who attended, so much so that following the event I will be nominating 7futures for a rail partnership award for their impact on our frontline in the area of health and well-being.
This will be seconded by our Director of HSEQ, Nicola Uijen.
The nomination is well deserved as you and your team have had a positive influence on those who attend our events and we hope the collaboration between NR and 7futures will continue.
Many thanks from me personally for pulling another amazing lineup and content out the bag at short notice.
As always , greatly appreciated.
— Ade - Network Rail

Thanks for this. I have shared with the team and other areas within Alstom.
We would also like to say a big thank you, the feedback we have had (about Mark) has all been excellent – probably the best I’ve seen after a guest speaker. ....
Again, many thanks
— Gavin - ALSTOM

It was very very good, the guys were completely engrossed into. For some of them it was certainly the best part of the day.
It obviously comes as second nature to Matt the stuff he was talking about but to my guys it was something completely different and new to them, we don’t talk about keeping ourselves healthy enough.
— Shaun - Regional Operations Manager, Colas Rail

I’m still canvassing for feedback, specifically from the Techs, but everyone that I have personally spoken to have been incredibly positive. (Some complaints about the calibration of the metabolic age!)

I’d like to have a catch up with you please so we can make sure we capitalise on what I am convinced has been a great success, but that I hope is just the first small step on a much longer journey. I’d also like to get what feedback I can, perhaps some stats and few opinions to put some sort of news article out there.

But, in summary I think it’s been a great success!”
— Simon W - Siemens Ardwick Depot

Thanks to you and Nathan for a great session yesterday, the feedback was really positive.
— Anna - BBC

A huge thank you to everyone that supported our event, you were all wonderful Please pass on my thanks and gratitude. The event was a real success which you all were a big part of.
My thoughts is that it worked extremely well. I personally found this out when I went for advice on one thing that led to another, I got so much out of this and the help and advice is something I can work with to improve my own personal health.
I agree the flexibility to allow people to move around was a good approach which enabled you to deliver the right messages and for people to receive the right advice and help. Having spoken to numerous individuals who used the services all stated that they really grateful for the help, support and advice they received and that moving between the different areas worked really well.
Again thank you to everyone and I look forward to working with you all again in the future.
— Tina - TRU

Can I say a massive thank you for such an interesting and engaging session on Friday. The team are going out of their way to say how much they enjoyed it and that they want more! I think the queue of people you had waiting to speak to you at the end spoke volumes itself
— EON Resilience Workshop

Just thought I’d let you know that I’ve received some great feedback from the engineers you presented to yesterday! They really got huge value from the session, so thank you both!

Hope to see you again soon one day

"Having attended a short training course on Resilience, facilitated by Mark Davies, I can honestly say that my attitude towards my health and well-being has significantly improved for the better. Although as a behavioural coach I have always believed that the most powerful form of help is self-help, I now have a much deeper understanding as to why that is the case ...This knowledge is now something that I promote and include in my work and I have in turn, received great feedback from those that have attended my courses. Additionally I suggested to a friend that she take part in Mark’s course as she was struggling with depression and had previously sought professional help. After attending she stated that her experience was far more beneficial to her than the 6 months’ worth of cognitive behavioural therapy that she had received prior ...I would like to thank Mark for this training and say that the impact is not only due to the content, but the professional and approachable way in which it was delivered..."
