Inspiring Cultures Ltd Reviews 20

I have been working with Inspiring Cultures, particularly Stephen and Jenni, across a range of areas within our global business including leadership training, conflict resolution and ER matters. I have always found them to be highly professional and supportive. They quickly build strong relationships and feel like a natural extension of our HR function, bringing both expertise and a collaborative approach.
They recently held an in-person leadership session with us which was particularly impactful, engaging, thought-provoking and genuinely helpful in challenging team dynamics and strengthening how we work across the business.
I would highly recommend them based on my experience working with them.

ICL has been working with us to support the development of our leadership teams, and the experience has been consistently excellent.

Throughout this partnership, ICL has provided high‑quality training, thoughtful guidance, and ongoing support tailored to our organisation’s needs. Their approach combines strong expertise with a deep understanding of leadership dynamics, making their interventions both practical and impactful.

The consultants are true professionals: well prepared, insightful, and highly engaged. They challenge constructively, create a safe space for reflection, and support leaders in translating learning into real behavioural change.

We highly recommend them to any organisation looking for a trusted partner in leadership and organisational development.

I have had a number of great opportunities to work with ICL. I have been supported on building detailed business cases to deliver to my exec, as well as having the opportunity to receive coaching.

ICL have supported a number of development courses I have had the pleasure to attend. These course have supported my personal development as well as the development of wider senior leaders within the business.

We’ve worked with Inspiring Cultures as part of our wider work to strengthen how we handle workplace relationships and conflict resolution across our Multi-Academy Trust.

They have delivered CPD-accredited programmes including Workplace Mediation certification for our People Partners and Positive Dialogue training for academy leadership teams. The training has been practical, engaging and highly relevant to the education sector, with extremely positive feedback from all participants.

Stephen Adams, Jenni and the team have been very supportive and clearly passionate about helping organisations handle conflict more constructively Stephen has been particularly supportive in helping us think through how to embed a Respect and Resolution culture, giving leaders practical tools and confidence to handle difficult conversations constructively.

It is also reassuring to know that Inspiring Cultures can provide independent workplace investigators when it is not appropriate for matters to be handled internally.

Overall, they are knowledgeable, pragmatic and very easy to work with. I would confidently recommend Inspiring Cultures to organisations looking for workplace mediation training, conflict resolution training, or support building mediation capability internally.

Working with Inspiring Cultures Ltd is genuinely a joy. They’re a team who put the human experience front and centre, whether you’re a client or collaborating with them as an associate. You’re treated with respect, welcomed into a highly collaborative environment, and trusted as a partner.

What I appreciate most is how deeply they care about the end user. Their programmes are thoughtfully designed to be both effective and fun — because at the end of the day, it’s about creating meaningful and sustainable results; Stephen and the team consistently deliver on that.

The training delivered exceeds all expectations, with a highly knowledgeable, professional and personable trainers who create an engaging and supportive learning environment. They used a range of techniques to ensure all delegates are included and understand the content, supported by comprehensive materials provided before and during the course. ICL clearly aligns with our values, tailoring their approach to our needs and adapting seamlessly to our environment. Their planning, delivery and overall credibility are excellent, providing value far beyond the course content itself and fostering open discussion and psychological safety throughout.

Working with ICL is always a pleasure. They are very customer centric with a strong values led culture. I appreciate their collaborative approach and how they always seek to genuinely understand the customer needs in full to deliver a quality service.

I completed ICL’s accredited mediation training in January 2026 and found it exceptional. The trainer was highly knowledgeable and engaging, and the course provided tremendous value. I would wholeheartedly recommend ICL to anyone considering mediation training.

I've worked with a number of the team from Inspiring Cultures Ltd for various talks and sessions and they really are just that- inspiring!

The support they give, their ability to tap in to "you" as a human, without judgement or business speak makes for a really fun, engaging and informative session regardless of the topic. No question is too silly, no topic is off limits- they just create a safe space to learn. Highly recommended.

I’ve worked with Inspiring Cultures for over a year now and every time we run something together, it always lands so well. No two projects feel the same, and they always manage to bring something new and genuinely engaging & thought-provoking.

Whether it’s leadership, mentoring, skills sessions or personal development, Stephen and the team really take the time to understand what you’re trying to achieve. They don’t just deliver content and leave, they make sure it connects with people and actually makes a difference long after the session ends.

The team are brilliant at what they do, but also really easy to work with. They use real-life examples, practical coaching and a lot of warmth and energy. Somehow, they even manage to get the quietest people in the room to speak up and feel comfortable getting involved.

From the very first conversation to the final delivery, they work with you all the way. They listen, adapt, and make sure what’s created really matches the brief and the outcomes you’re aiming for.

It genuinely feels like a partnership rather than a supplier relationship. I’d happily recommend Inspiring Cultures to anyone who wants development that actually sticks and makes a difference.

Having worked with Stephen and Inspiring Cultures on several leadership development programmes over the past year, I can confidently say they are a pleasure to collaborate with. They took the time to truly understand our organisation and culture, and the knowledge, expertise, and ideas they brought to the table significantly enhanced our programmes. Their approach elevated the work we do and played a key role in embedding the messages delivered in a meaningful and lasting way. I look forward to working with them again in the future.

Xtrac used Inspiring Cultures to support the implementation of our Dispute Resolution framework. The support we received was excellent and the training first class. Whenever we required any additional help or guidance Stephen and the team were always on hand and nothing was too much trouble.

I am thoroughly impressed with my experience working alongside Inspiring Cultures Limited as part of their quality assurance team. The organisation demonstrates an exceptional commitment to excellence in education and training, consistently pushing boundaries to enhance learner engagement and outcomes. What truly sets them apart is their forward-thinking approach to innovation, particularly in their strategic use of cutting-edge technologies to support both learners and clients. The team's dedication to embracing digital solutions whilst maintaining the highest quality standards has been inspiring to witness and be part of. Their collaborative approach, professionalism, and genuine passion for making a difference in the education sector make them a standout organisation. I wholeheartedly recommend Inspiring Cultures Limited to anyone seeking a progressive, quality-focused training partner who truly understands the evolving needs of modern learners and organisations.

A pleasure to work with. Stephen and the team are trusted advisors to our business, providing clear, practical people direction and coaching. Highly recommended for any organisation looking for professional and reliable support.

Working with Inspiring Cultures has been nothing short of transformational. From day one, they have brought energy, insight, and a genuine commitment to making a real difference, not just delivering learning, but creating measurable, high-impact change across performance and leadership.

What truly sets them apart is their ability to connect strategy with reality. Every programme, intervention, and interaction has been thoughtfully designed, expertly delivered, and rooted in a deep understanding of our organisation, our people, and the outcomes we care most about. This hasn’t been “off-the-shelf” training, it’s been purposeful, tailored, and relentlessly focused on impact.

Their work has elevated confidence, capability, and consistency across our leaders and teams. We’ve seen a tangible shift in how people show up, lead, and perform, stronger leadership behaviours, clearer accountability, and a renewed sense of momentum and belief. Learning has translated into action, and action into results.

Beyond the expertise, the partnership itself has been brilliant. They are collaborative, responsive, and deeply invested in our success. They challenge us in the right ways, support us when it matters most, and consistently go above and beyond to ensure the work lands and sticks.

In short, Inspiring Cultures hasn’t just supported our learning agenda, they’ve helped us raise the bar, accelerate performance, and build leadership capability that will have a lasting impact for years to come. We couldn’t recommend them more highly and are incredibly proud to work alongside them.

I’ve worked with Inspiring Cultures on both team-building sessions and one-to-one coaching, and the experience has been excellent. Their approach is thoughtful, practical and genuinely aligned to organisational needs.

The team-building work has really supported stronger collaboration and communication, and the coaching has provided valuable development support for colleagues at different levels. Feedback has consistently been positive, with people finding the sessions both insightful and actionable.

Inspiring Cultures are professional, responsive, fun and easy to partner with. I would highly recommend them to any organisation looking to strengthen team dynamics or invest in people development.

Having known Stephen for sometime, I trusted him completely to recommend how to become a qualified mediator. His peer Jerome was incredible, so knowledgeable and professional. I would highly recommend Stephen and his team at ICL. Thank you for an insightful and inspiring training programme.

Working with Inspiring Cultures is one of my favourite activities - the focus on quality and ensuring that solutions truly meet organisational needs is at the forefront of everything they do. In addition there is a genuine enthusiasm for the work alongside a deep commitment to organisations beyond the interventions. A pleasure to do business with.

I have worked with Stephen for several years now and have come to rely on him whenever our teams experience conflict or misalignment. As a small organisation without extensive in-house resources, having Stephen and Jenni’s expertise has been invaluable.
Over the years, they have supported many of our global teams—often working in the middle of the night to accommodate time zones like Singapore and Vietnam. They quickly gain the trust of the teams they work with, uncovering the real issues and concerns while maintaining strict confidentiality. At the same time, they keep management appropriately informed at an overview level, enabling us to understand the challenges without compromising trust.
Thanks to their efforts, many of the teams they’ve supported are now thriving. Even when certain factors were outside our control, their contributions have always made a positive difference. Stephen and Jenni have become true partners, getting to know us deeply and responding with speed and commitment that is second to none.
I would personally highly recommend ICL. Their professionalism, discretion, and ability to deliver meaningful outcomes have been outstanding.

I first met the founder of Inspiring Culture Ltd when I was invited to a podcast conversation about transforming HR, and it was clear from the outset that our values were very much aligned. Their core principles of Purpose, Resilience, Integrity, Discipline, and Enthusiasm genuinely resonate with me, and my experience of working closely with Inspiring Cultures Ltd since, has shown that these values are embedded in everything they do.
The mediation training I attended last year was incredibly insightful. The content was practical, thought-provoking, and delivered in a way that challenged the status quo while still being grounded in real-world HR practice. It aligned perfectly with my own approach to people management and left me feeling confident, equipped, and inspired.
I would not hesitate to recommend Inspiring Cultures Ltd to any business who wants to drive positive change and culture.
