“Dave recently supported our team event within the People Directorate at Sherwood Forest Hospitals, leading a session around ‘Coping with stress’ to approximately 80 delegates. This was our first ever event of this scale and the feedback we have received has been extremely positive.
In a challenging NHS landscape Dave’s session has really helped our colleagues put things into perspective. His session allowed time for colleagues to reflect and provided practical solutions around time management to take forwards as well as supporting resources for colleagues to take away.
I would recommend Dave for any team-building events, his inclusive approach and friendly attitude was well-received and a true inspiration!”

“The staff working within Wakefield Integrated Care Partnership have stepped up to meet the unprecedented demands of the period of COVID19 restrictions. As part of a package of wellbeing support for our people, we asked Dave Algeo, to deliver a series of online webinar sessions on positive coping during these challenging times. The sessions were very well received, with feedback including:

”I feel more positive as I know there are others in a similar situation. I think I understand my own feelings better now and have more ideas of how to manage my wellbeing.” &

”I feel much more equipped now to deal and manage with my emotional health. The 90 minutes flew by. I am constantly thinking about what I am sweating! I really gives a focus and perspective about how I am managing on a day to day.”

Dave delivers great sessions, and strives to tailor them to our needs. I highly recommend working with Dave”

“Dave has spoken several times in person at The Evolve Network Newcastle and has received rave reviews. 

During the lockdown restrictions we moved our events online and Dave shared his ‘Are you Sweating the Right Sprouts’ session. He provided practical tips and tactics using memorable metaphors in a really engaging and humorous event. 

If you are looking for a fun, engaging and down to earth speaker for your online event, I highly recommend Dave and his sprouts!”

“Dave Algeo returned to our Annual Conference this year and shared his ‘Are you Sweating the Right Sprouts?’ Session with our 150 strong audience.  He went down a storm, sharing practical tips in a fun and memorable way.  Comments from delegates included:

”LOVED IT, LOVED IT, LOVED IT! Energised and fun!, “Excellent! Will take this back to the workplace” and “Loved this. Engaging and thought provoking. Made me think about how I can look after myself”

I would have no hesitation in recommending Dave as a speaker for your event or conference.”

“As part of our Wellbeing Week at DFS this year, we asked Dave to deliver a series of short ‘Are you Sweating the Right Sprouts’ sessions to our colleagues. The sessions were informative and fun, and left attendees with tools and tactics they can use to meet challenges positively and enhance their wellbeing, both in life and work. Since the sessions, I’ve overheard a few colleagues using the phrase “don’t sweat the sprouts!” It was great to have Dave deliver these sessions and contribute to our focus on the wellbeing of our colleagues”

“Dave recently delivered two webinars on coping positively with difficult times, during our Doctoral Training Partnership Summer School Programme.  In these unique times, the impact of COVID19 meant a shift from traditional face to face sessions to online provision.  Dave’s session were brilliantly received, with feedback comments including ‘fantastic’, ‘breakout rooms gave time for small group reflection which I found really useful’ and one attendee tweeted: 

’’Just under an hour in and I can say this is my favourite session so far of the @DtpNine Summer School. Absolutely fantastic and so useful. I already feel calmer”

If you are looking for engaging webinars to support the wellbeing of your people, I highly recommend Dave Algeo.”

“Dave supported our end of term online staff day this summer.

Given the challenges of the last year we wanted to focus on supporting the wellbeing of our people and had a range of activities planned.

Dave and his sprouts opened the event with a great large audience online session. This helped set a positive upbeat tone for the rest of the day and the follow-up resources provided by Dave have been greatly welcomed.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Dave and his ‘Are You Sweating the Right Sprouts?’ session as a brilliant conference or large audience online opener.”

“Dave has worked with the CPS across the country for several years now and has gained a great reputation. During the challenging times of COVID, Dave worked closely with our team to deliver some bespoke wellbeing sessions online as part of our national focus on supporting the wellbeing of our people. His sessions on improving sleep and improving our social connectedness were excellent and so well received. Feedback included:

’I thought the training was excellent - it built on information I already knew and was easy to understand. The trainer was very open and honest, and it set a really nice tone for the rest of the session where people really opened up and felt they were in a safe ‘space.

’It was a really good session and liked the breakout rooms as it enabled you to talk to different people. It was just good to have a socially interactive session away from work.’

’Another great session with Dave Algeo.  Really relatable with interesting and actionable content’

’There was some excellent tips and advice about how to switch off and get a better night’s sleep. thank you, Dave Algeo’

’I really liked the emails that included the Audio/Tip Task and evening relaxation, excellent!’

’Thoroughly enjoyed the session and intend to use less devices before bed and really prepare a sleep routine prior to going bed.’

I highly recommend Dave and his approach and work. Professional, friendly, knowledgeable and flexible.”

“Dave provided a number of ‘positive coping webinars’ for our doctoral students to support our wellbeing focus during these challenging times of restriction due to COVID19. Dave was professional, friendly and great to work with, and, amongst our delegate feedback, one comment stands out:

”I found the session extremely useful. I contacted him later that day to say so, and also to mention a specific stress-related issue I have, and to ask him if he had any pointers on that. His reply, giving his thoughts plus details of resources that could help me, was fantastically helpful. Dave is *really*, *REALLY* good at what he does. Not only that but his genuine desire to help people cope better shines through.”

I highly recommend Dave, his sessions and professional, supportive approach. ”

“Dave visited us recently and supported our Wellbeing week by delivering some great ‘Are you Sweating the Right Sprouts?’ aka ‘Developing resilience, enhancing wellbeing’ sessions to our staff at both our sites. The sessions we so well received and feedback has been great. Dave provides practical=, memorable tools to improve our wellbeing and uses humour and props to get his key messages across. I am confident, staff attending will be using the tools, and sweating the right sprouts for months to come! If you are looking to promote wellbeing and support your people in this area, I would have no hesitation recommending Dave and his work.”

“We asked Dave to deliver his ‘Developing Resilience, Enhancing Wellbeing’ session to our staff and contractors at Ratcliffe Power Station in November 2018.  Dave’s session was memorable and engaging and perfectly pitched to our audience. I would have no hesitation recommending Dave to speak at wellbeing related events where you want engaging, memorable and actionable content.”
