Many unsung but vital factors contribute to the success of excellent consultants: thorough research; detailed development; precise implementation and professional delivery – Herman is no exception.
All these skills have been grouped to create a powerful approach to mentoring through a new mentoring innovation called RAMP® standing for ‘Raising Achievement Mentoring Programmes’.
Flexible enough to cross the public and private sectors the main goal of RAMP® is to bring the best out of people through coaching and mentoring. Also facilitating aftercare (an essential element to sustained success) this product is for those who are more interested in ‘real change’ that is sustainable than just a quick fix.
But don’t take our word for it. Investigate what the experts, leaders and managers of numerous sectors have to say: Education Watchdog Ofsted cites his brand of mentoring as ‘high quality’ – needless to say that Herman’s peers hold him in high regard.

Leaders Forum© - ‘Helping leaders, to lead themselves, so others can follow’
Leaders abound: charismatic; strong; pragmatic; assertive; result driven; possessing characteristics which men and women are compelled to follow. Unfortunately this is not much good if they are leading them in the wrong direction.
The Leaders Forum helps to define positive pro-active leadership skills, their importance, and how to recognise and utilise this gift for the healthy growth of your community, regardless of the potential obstacles. (S) (H) (A) (P)
Helping Hand© - ‘Sharing the journey, sharing the success’
Young people are processing information at an alarmingly fast rate, (being exposed to more of our world than previous generations). As our youth can be a sensitive part of life the societal transitions involved can appear intensified and traumatic for those going from Primary to Secondary school.
This is why Helping Hand was developed, to assist Primary school children how to make that change. It provides a productive and seamless transition by being able to identify and resolve ‘prospective issues’ that could be carried into comprehensive education.

Parent Support Forum
Parents are the most important investor in their child’s educational experience, so would it not make sense to take full advantage in collaborating with parents to help shape their children’s success?
The Parent Support Forum provides that opportunity. Through continual dialogue a parents involvement in their child’s affairs is enriched, enhancing your extended schools model and projected academic results. The combined effort (which Herman has witnessed) does not go un-noticed by the child and also provides an organised and collaborative approach truly desired by many ridding existing loopholes between school and home.
