I am delighted to share this testimonial for Graham Herbert, with whom I have had the pleasure of working closely as part of my consultancy business, Cadman HR. I met Graham over 20 years ago, as Graham held the role of L&D Manager when I was HR Director for Capgemini Infrastructure in Northern Europe.
Graham has consistently demonstrated exceptional expertise and passion in the field of leadership and personal development training including coaching.
Graham’s delivery of leadership sessions has been nothing short of transformative, creating an innovative approach whilst we worked in Capgemini together facing a burning platform for change.
He brings an engaging and practical approach to every session, creating an environment where participants feel safe and empowered to explore new concepts and challenge their existing perspectives. His ability to tailor content to suit the unique needs of each group ensures that every session is both relevant and impactful. Graham’s sessions are not only informative but also inspire genuine growth and confidence among leaders at all levels.
A particular highlight of our collaboration has been Graham’s effective use of the Insight psychometric tool. Through his facilitation, teams have gained a deeper understanding of individual behavioural preferences and communication styles. This has greatly improved working relationships, fostered mutual respect, and enhanced overall team dynamics. Graham’s skill in translating psychometric insights into actionable strategies sets him apart as a truly effective development professional.
Working alongside Graham to deliver these programmes for various organisations has been a privilege. His commitment to excellence, collaborative spirit, and unwavering support have not only benefited our clients but have also enriched my own professional journey. I wholeheartedly recommend Graham Herbert to any organisation seeking to elevate their leadership capability and strengthen team performance through expert L&D facilitation.

I have had the pleasure of working with Graham for over a decade, first at Capgemini and more recently as fellow business leaders running our own companies. During this time, I have seen Graham in action countless times and remain consistently impressed by his outstanding facilitation style.
Graham is not only an expert in his field, but he also delivers with real gravitas and a participant-centred approach that makes his sessions deeply impactful. Together, we have co-designed and delivered a range of programmes - from Inclusive Leadership and Unconscious Bias to a comprehensive People Management development series, and Graham’s contribution has always been exceptional.
He combines deep theoretical knowledge of personal development and leadership with the ability to bring content to life in an engaging and accessible way. As an experienced coach, he also brings a reflective, collaborative style that enables participants to explore ideas fully and embed their learning. Graham’s thoughtful, inclusive approach ensures that every session he leads makes a lasting difference.

I've had the privilege of working closely with Graham as part of the UK Learning team at Capgemini, where we collaborated on a wide range of leadership and personal development programmes, and I continue to work with Graham now in his capacity as an independent coach and facilitator.
​
What sets Graham apart is his deeply authentic approach to coaching and development of others. He is a natural coach - calm, patient, and incredibly supportive. Graham's ability to create a safe, reflective space is a strength that shines through in both his coaching and facilitation of broader leadership and personal development programmes. Whether working with individuals or teams, he fosters an environment of trust and psychological safety that allows participants to fully immerse themselves in the learning experience. His calm, structured, and methodical style helps participants to feel at ease, encouraging openness, engagement, and meaningful reflection. Participants consistently feel supported and empowered to explore challenges, build confidence, and take ownership of their development.

I wholeheartedly recommend Graham Herbert to any organisation looking for a coach or facilitator who brings authenticity, expertise, and a genuine desire to support others.
