"We invited Rob to deliver training and facilitation for Sonnet because we wanted to strengthen how we work together as a team and how we show up with clients - particularly around emotional intelligence, prioritisation, and handling challenging or “crucial” conversations with confidence and clarity. As a consultancy operating in complex, relational and often high-pressure environments, we recognised the need to build shared capability in these areas.

Since the awayday, we’ve seen tangible benefits at Sonnet. Team members are more confident having difficult conversations, clearer about priorities, and more intentional about how they support one another. This has improved collaboration, reduced friction, and strengthened how we work together under pressure. We’ve also noticed a positive knock-on effect in client interactions, with more confident facilitation, clearer boundaries and stronger relationships.

I would strongly recommend Affinity Training - and especially Rob.  He brings deep expertise, warmth and credibility, and his facilitation leaves a lasting, practical impact on both individuals and teams. The content he explored with us is particularly valuable for consultants, leaders and teams working in complex, people-centred environments where trust, communication and emotional intelligence are critical.”
