Nick Corbo

“I love developing others and working with leaders at all levels. I bring energy, empathy and real-world experience into my work. I bring a healthy blend of support and constructive challenge to the groups I work with, understanding that within that mix is the place where personal growth truly emerges. I help people understand more about how and why they might be reacting to their environments which allows them the space for deeper reflection and long-lasting change.”

After heading up several large operational teams he took his commercial experience into L&D, successfully delivering a number of management and leadership development programmes alongside large-scale sales training programmes, all with a clear focus on ROI. For the last three years, he has been a freelance consultant, facilitator and executive coach.

Waverley Learning are very vested in what they’re doing, very committed. They’re dynamic individually and collectively, they are 100% invested to the learners when they go into a program, it really is a sense of ownership of the experience that I don’t necessarily always see with every other vendor or learning partner that we use.

Lisa Smisek - Director of Learning, Kearney

There’s a credibility and a humility that you just sense when you’re engaging with Waverley Learning. I’m personally very drawn to that.

Karen Brown - Director of People and Talent, Tearfund

It is the extent to which Waverley Learning understood all the requirements, the innovation that they brought, the talent they brought. Their whole style takes the frantic pace at which we work out of the equation, the messages comes through really clearly. They’ve tuned into the challenges of our organization and made observations that have given us added value. It’s always based on our needs.

Alison Maher - Head of Learning, GWR

Their Developing Skills course consistently gets the best feedback of any standard developmental course that we offer. They’re clearly doing something right in terms of engagement, for those individuals to realise their own development within that situation. Waverley Learning listen to what’s going on, the chats that they’re having with my colleagues. They’re able to play that back, this is what’s going on in your business. As an organization, they provide great insight into to us.

John Probert - Director, Mercer
