We ran a C-Me session with our team of temp summer staff with Alex. Our staff needed to hit the ground running during peak season. What an amazing session!
The energy in the room was electric and the team all went out for dinner together like they had known each other for years.
C-Me Colour Profiling is fantastic, the accuracy is scary and for me from now on an absolute necessity for us.

Alex and Charlie are powerhouses when it comes to delivering leadership and training courses for young people. Having personally benefited from their coaching, as well as collaborating with them on a leadership programme for The Prince’s Trust, their energy, due diligence and expertise is inspirational and transformative! Their programme has gained the backing of a Celebrity Ambassador and is supporting hundreds of young people. I couldn’t have asked for more!

We asked Flying Start XP to deliver a week-long programme which would help our Trainees to understand themselves better and focus their development on becoming effective future managers. Feedback from both managers and Trainees has been remarkable and the positive comments have continued to come in even months later, as the Trainees reflect on their learning and apply it to their projects.

I’m so grateful that Alex (Webb) was able to have conversations with my son that I simply couldn’t. They have led to many seeds being planted in his mind. He found the sessions very well-organised and smoothly-run, with very transparent, real world applications. Alex is enthusiastic and great at spotting and suggesting opportunities. It was a win-win for all of us and I would thoroughly recommend her.

This course was simply invaluable. It allowed me to understand the key skills required for Interviews. The opportunity to put these into practice during the course, including a practice interview for a university degree or job preference for the future was extremely beneficial.
Both Alex and Charlie delivered an exceptional session; it really is worthwhile if you’d like to learn the fundamental techniques and preparation tips that will allow you to fulfil your potential and improve your employability in the modern world.

Impact Workshop (Interviewing)
Charlie's passion for helping others is so eminently obvious from the first second that you begin to speak with her. Her excitement as she guides you and allows your brain to find the right answers is very hard not to replicate and I truly feel more ready and eager to tackle my future after just a short conversation. Her energy is exactly what I needed to stop procrastinating, clear the rust in my brain and really get to work! Her knowledge of business is matched by her understanding of the human mind, how to communicate with different individuals and help them to answer their own questions, rather than simply thinking and speaking for them.

I am so fortunate to have been introduced to Alex. Back in October I was a university graduate feeling directionless and adrift, not knowing how to answer people asking "so what do you want to do?" and I often found myself completely forgetting what my potential. But three months down the line, the work we have put in has allowed me to regain a purpose and I now even know what I want to do as a career. It seems so simple now! I wouldn’t mind betting that this will be one of the best investments I make this decade and I would highly recommend Flying Start XP to anyone.

Charlie could not have been more supportive. After being on the hunt for over 10 months and applying to over 60 jobs, she provided me with such relevant advice and guidance that saw me land my dream role within 2 weeks of our first chat. If you are a young person who needs a helping hand or feeling a little bit lost in the current job market, I could not recommend her services more.

The highlight of Cranleigh Careers has to be our Futures Week with Flying Start XP. They put our lower sixth formers through their paces with a plethora of activities from personal impact; body language and social media workshops; negotiating tasks; team dynamics and challenging interviews. Pupils are now equipped with essential tools and top tips to support them in their search for their future. The facilitators were highly professional, approachable and knowledgeable, a pleasure to work with.

Our course focused on personal profiling using C-Me followed by the ‘Interview with Impact’ workshop. It was a great kick-start to help with interview preparation and to prepare you for working in a professional, team environment. It gave me the confidence to be able to perform well in an interview.

I was having trouble getting my son to focus on his future. I needed someone whose judgment I trusted and could help him build his awareness and focus to ensure that he had the skills, belief and techniques needed to maximise opportunities when entering the world of work.
I am so grateful that Alex was able to have conversations that I couldn't which have led to many seeds being planted in his mind. He found Alex "very organised, with smoothly run sessions which all have very transparent, real world applications. She is enthusiastic and great at spotting and suggesting opportunities."

Through the techniques taught to me by Charlie, I now know how to combat my nerves and am immensely more confident than I was prior to our session. If you’re looking for an edge when it comes to applying for jobs, look no further than Flying Start XP.
When exploring the world of self-improvement, it can be a difficult task to find a company that not only has the knowledge and ability to aid your development but also one that truly cares about its clients and I can safely say that Flying Start XP is that needle in the haystack.
I have recently secured an internship at a global consultancy in London. Without my course at Flying Start XP, this quite simply would not have been possible.
