Bespoke Insurance Training

I have been working with Empower Development for the last few years and they have become one of my top ‘go to’ providers for training solutions. Sam has the unique ability to take a complex development brief and design and deliver bespoke training solutions. She not only captures all of the learning objectives we’re looking for, but goes above and beyond to provide additional content and support to our employees. Her materials are always produced to a high professional standard, and her delivery is engaging, challenging and she has begun to drive real behavioural change for our organisation. Sam’s knowledge of and reputation within the Insurance Market stands her apart from other providers, and means our employees benefit from training which is directly applicable to their roles. Many organisations reported huge disruption to their L&D delivery as a result of Covid-19, but working closely with Sam, our organisation has been able to smoothly transition our key programmes to virtual delivery, whilst maintaining cost effectiveness. Sam has been instrumental in providing training to our Leaders in how to manage remote teams, and to our new joiners who we now offer Group Coaching to in place of the former induction process. I cannot speak highly enough of Sam and her entire team, who go above and beyond to provide a quality, innovative and unique training offering.

“I experience the coaching environment as a great place to bring business related problems whilst transitioning into my new role and managing a new team. I was able to explore challenges that have been whizzing around my head for a while by bringing them to the table and discussing honestly with my coach.”

“Samantha hosted the SDI course for our Global Terrorism strategy day. Underwriters from the London team as well as our international offices came to take part. Samantha organised the training day very well and was extremely knowledgeable on all aspects of it. She coached individuals on the results and what it meant to them and their daily jobs. The whole global team was extremely impressed, and I would recommend this course which has been highly beneficial to everyone that took part.”

“My Underwriting team has a real mix of personalities and working styles. The SDI session has really helped us understand each other and made my communication with my team a lot more effective. The trainer’s pragmatic approach and understanding of what we do made the session relevant. I did not expect to gain so much from one morning.”
