“Koru is a great way of understanding yourself and managing your life. It helps you work out a healthier balance between action and thought and creates both physical and mental harmony.

" One more testimonial. ‘Gill and Viv of Koru opened up the minds of me and my colleagues to a new vocabulary which described our lived experience, helped us to understand it, and - most importantly - helped us to handle it. Many if not people are resistant to change, but change is increasingly unavoidable. To be happy and successful is to learn how to thrive in an environment of constant change. A growth mindset helps you to achieve this."

Catherine Brown Associate Professor in English at Northeastern University London

"At UAL we have partnered with Koru Development on several learning programmes including the High Performing Teams workshop for line managers. Their approach is based on numerous research with a clear evidence base to give credibility to the content which is very important in a higher education setting. Koru Development balance this with a warm, enthusiastic, and interactive facilitation style that lands incredibly well with our staff. Their High Performing Teams workshop is our highest rated session across our staff development offer with a Net Promoter Score of 80. What is also rewarding to see is the manager’s confidence in applying the learning back into their role, and it has provoked many managers wanting bespoke sessions for their teams. We are expanding our partnership with Koru Development on topics such as wellbeing as we feel confident and safe in their partnership and their ability to deliver for our organisation and I would recommend them in the highest regard."
