What people say when I am not in the room.
Ten of these, in full, from people who put their name and their job title to them.
-
I've had the privilege of working with Craig through the IOD and projects, and what truly sets him apart is his extensive knowledge, continued deep empathy and openness to speak from personal experience. He doesn't just talk about wellbeing, he lives it.
-
Craig has led the IoD's activity in Cornwall as a most effective ambassador. He promotes the ideals and values of the Institute and has been incredibly energetic and successful in deriving closer engagement with members and the local business community.
-
Others have rightly recommended Craig as a great Wellbeing practitioner. I would like to recommend Craig's Leadership, Organisational and Interpersonal skills as the Cornwall IOD Ambassador. Craig has been instrumental in bringing business leaders together.
-
Craig is an absolute workhorse, with a mission to change lives through better governance and a real understanding of what wellbeing means. Much more than an 'Employee Assistance Programme' which is a box-ticking exercise.
-
Craig has had such a profound and positive impact on Book of Beasties, its vision, continued growth and ongoing success. He came into the company with a level of understanding, empathy and guidance that was truly transformative.
-
It would be hard to imagine a better qualified Wellbeing practitioner than Craig Fearn, in an area that is attracting people who have little experience or real qualifications. Craig stands out as a true professional.
-
Craig is the ultimate professional. From start to finish, it is so clear that his aim is how he can help. Over my course, I had challenges yet he stretched me to think differently and achieve more than I thought possible.
-
I recently completed one of Craig's online courses on mental wellbeing and resilience in the workplace. I found the course to be insightful and I could use the learnings in my own business. Highly recommended for any senior leader.
-
Craig is an exceptional mentor. He supported me through preparation for pivotal moments in my professional life, helping me present ideas with clarity, pace, and a strong narrative arc. My TEDx talk preparation with Craig was transformative.
-
As an Ambassador for the IOD, Craig has started and sustained a local IoD member networking group. This group has been meeting monthly for almost two years now. He has built strong engagements with local communities.
