The RailStaff Awards 2024

Daniel Taylor

Said the following about GENIUS Performance Team:

““As a delegate on the GENIUS Performance 2 day Advanced Leadership Training Programme in May 2018 held at the National College for High Speed Rail I was completely blown away by the style, content and delivery of the training.

Having been on plenty of training courses throughout my career, my expectations were fairly standardised - within the 1st hour my interest levels along with the wider group of rail industry delegates shot through the roof. Insightful, challenging, interactive, real, eye opening and humorous would be words I’d use to describe the coaching Peter Schofield, Andy Duncan and Steve Powell provided.

I can fully understand and respect why a major rail company and an English championship football club have retained GENIUS Performance future leaders and advanced leadership training for the next 2 years.

Well done Pete, Andy and Steve.

Look forward to receiving my letter in 6 months’ time of reminding me of the leadership tools, commitments and promises I made to myself.““

Craig Grundy

Said the following about GENIUS Performance Team:

““I attended a two day effective leadership and management course run by GENIUS Performance and his team.

The way in which the team designed and delivered the course had every delegate engaged from the moment the course started.

The focus was not only on the course itself, but forming lasting connections between the delegates to help push each other forward in the future.

The team has a very unique and engaging training style that is far different to anything that I have experienced before.““

Jamie Cruise

Said the following about GENIUS Performance Team:

““I recently attended GENIUS Performance Leadership training.

From the outset the relaxed environment created the perfect surrounding to learn and enhance my skills. After two days training with the team, I returned to work a changed man. I had a greater understanding of my personal values, where I wanted to be within my company and more importantly, how to get there!

I am now recharged and ready to deal with people in a positive manner.

Thank you for your guidance Peter, Steve and Andy - Good luck with your nomination.““

Michael Baker

Said the following about GENIUS Performance Team:

““I attended a 2-day leadership and management course run by the GENIUS Performance team and found the course to be an enjoyable and inclusive two-day experience. I found Peter, Steve and Andy to be very encouraging and supportive throughout the course and would welcome the opportunity to attend more courses run by him.““

Emily McKinley

Said the following about GENIUS Performance Team:

“I believe Peter, Andy and Steve should win because the training they delivered to us over two sessions were unlike any other training I’ve experienced. The three of them each brought something different to the training which meant they got the best out of everyone. It was very clear from the start they had such a great relationship which created a lovely environment for the group, it didn’t feel like we were learning as it was so enjoyable. I’d happily attend further training with them in a heartbeat!“

Andrew Woods

Said the following about GENIUS Performance Team:

“Pete, Andy and Steve have really helped me realise my potential and grow in confidence. In the three months since I finished on the course I have been able to make more risks, judgements and been confident to take on more tasks which has allowed me to really increase my potential. I’m now harder worked but happier and confident!“

Thomas Johnson

Said the following about GENIUS Performance Team:

“I would like to nominate the GENIUS performance team for the upcoming RailStaff awards based on the fantastic course they delivered earlier this year. It was delivered in a professional but yet engaging and rewarding manner. All three of them were incredibly knowledgeable and helpful throughout the course duration and stated they would be happy to assist once the course had finished.“

Chris Richmond

Said the following about GENIUS Performance Team:

“The training was excellent, some of the content was a refresher for myself having managed teams previously, however the way the training is delivered is an inclusive method with the emphasis on getting out of it what you need – I would recommend this training to any manager or leader specifically new managers – great work guys..

Pete, Andy and Steve are the epitome of natural leaders. They executed the Management Training Course with passion, ease and thoughtfulness. As a developing consultant I found the training extremely enjoyable and interactive and see the value that all three bring with their knowledge and experiences of how they have progressed their careers. I believe any aspiring leader, or current leader would benefit from the tools and advice Pete, Andy and Steve can share with you.“
