"The personal growth and organisational impact resulting from participation in TPI's work signifies the potency of the techniques transmitted. They are as relevant to community and voluntary organisations as they are to private and public sector agencies. TPI's approach taps into the underused potential of individuals, teams and communities - it is a positive force for change."

Joe Montgomery,
Director General,
Places and Communities

"Our work with TPI has been a journey that's been the most productive I have ever encountered in any management change activity. We've gone from good to outstanding and are now in the top 5% of colleges for inspection grades and the top 2% for value added. An absolutely critical part of our improvement has been the contribution of The Pacific Institute."

Peter Tavernor,
Principal,
The Manchester College (formerly MANCAT)

"Working with TPI has enabled me to understand how beliefs and attitudes shape our lives. It has helped me develop self-confidence, self-esteem and a strong sense of purpose in my colleagues here in Leeds. This is unleashing power and magic, making a real difference and delivering brilliant outcomes."

Chris Edwards,
Chief Executive,
Education Leeds

"TPI's approach offers our community and the variety of social groups and organisations there in a tool kit which allows them to make lasting change and use more of their potential. Such sustainable changes in attitudes, beliefs, expectations and aspirations are an essential element in local regeneration."
