sustainable performance & customer loyalty.

Employee performance specialists, based in Oxfordshire, UK we are dedicated to creating sustainable growth, development and wellbeing through leaders who deliver results. Our mission is to “unlock” potential to inspire individuals and teams to achieve and exceed goals and challenges through a foundation of knowledge, skill, trust and support.

Mid-sized organisations often reach a plateau:

  • Managers are promoted without any leadership training and development
  • Engagement drops, the workplace becomes toxic
  • Performance becomes inconsistent
  • Customer service and loyalty suffers.

That is where we work.

At Green Key, we work with organisations of 100+ employees to strengthen leadership capability and rebuild engagement from the inside out. We build practical management capability that translates into measurable performance. Our programmes help organisations:

  • Increase manager confidence and decision-making capability
  • Improve engagement and accountability
  • Strengthen communication across teams
  • Build cultures where employees feel inspired and take ownership
  • Enhance customer interactions to drive satisfaction and build loyalty.

The result: sustainable employee performance, not short-term enthusiasm.

Our leadership and engagement programmes are tailored, competency-based, aligned to organisational goals and delivered through:

  • Face-to-face development
  • Blended learning
  • Online solutions

Founded in 2013 with experience across UK and international markets. Specialists in leadership capability, communication, customer service and organisation wellbeing that is aligned to performance.

Rachel Shackleton - Professional trainer with 41 years experience

Educated and with extensive experience in the hospitality industry, I have worked all over the world delivering learning and development systems and training for several 5* hotel openings. In 1996 I founded a training company in St Petersburg, Russia that I ran for 16 years providing L & D solutions with a team of local trainers to both national and multinational companies including JTI, British American Tobacco, Dresdner and Raiffeisen banks, Kappa Packaging, Motorola, Intermedia and Oracle, Sheraton, Kempinksi, Radisson SAS and Rocco Forte hotels as well as local companies - MyHotel, Lenta supermarkets, Sperbank, LuKoil, and Rolf Group (car dealers). On returning to the UK I founded Green Key Personal Development and have continued to work with all kinds of organisations in the spheres of leadership, customer excellence, communication and workplace wellbeing. My life long work and calling has been about helping others to unlock their potential and be the best they can be. It brings me great satisfaction and joy to see someone blossom through new skills and confidence acquired through training and/or coaching. In addition to my skills in L & D I am also a qualified and practicing medical herbalist, naturopath and kinesiologist as well as Reiki practitioner. Using these skills I facilitate the return to vitality and wellbeing of individuals. Bringing wellbeing into organisation culture is essential to sustaining company profitability and growth as well as the overall wellbeing of the work environment.

Cath St Leger - Professional trainer with 21 years experience

I work with people, teams and organisations to help them grow through practical, engaging training and coaching that make a real difference in how team members show up at work, and in life. With over 20 years Learning & Development experience, in different industries, initially in finance to now working across all sectors — retail, housing, charity, automotive and global teams. If there's a common thread, it's this: people want to feel more confident, connected and capable. That’s what I help with. Whether I’m running a workshop, coaching a leader, or designing a programme, I focus on what actually works in the real world — no fluff, no jargon, just good, honest development that gives people the tools and confidence to do their jobs better, lead others, and feel more in control. Recent projects include: • Improving Customer Experience (CX), online and in person with global teams • Coaching and train-the-trainer support for a client in Paris and Munich • Designing and delivering leadership development for UK and international organisations • Running ‘human skills’ sessions with everyone from front-line teams to Directors My background is in Psychology and Philosophy, a Level 7 coaching qualification, and a lifelong love of learning. I am skilled at asking good questions to challenge how people think and bring a mix of curiosity, calm, and challenge. I genuinely care about helping people find what works for them to reach their potential. If you’re looking for a fresh perspective, an honest conversation, or someone to bring energy and clarity to a room — let's talk. I am also a fully trained Independent Celebrant — I help people mark important life moments with the same care and thoughtfulness I bring to everything else I do.

Seven years ago I had a pleasure to attended Rachel’s human touch & customer service training held for JTI Saint Petersburg team. I still remember how different it felt from most corporate trainings — it genuinely changed the way I think about customer experience and human interaction.

The training day was organised and informative. I especially appreciated how much the group sessions related directly to our work situations. I came away with useful skills, How to be more confident more positive and how to manage everyday tasks. But most of all I came away in believing more in myself and what I can achieve from what I have learnt. I would like to give huge thank you to Rachel Shackleton for putting on such a wonderful and knowledgeable training event.

Rachel is a Transformational Trainer I had the privilege of working with Rachel during my time leading Oracle’s Development Center, where she consistently delivered exceptional training programs through Green Key Personal Development. Rachel stands out as one of those rare trainers who truly connects with her audience. When we rolled out her sessions to our 400+ employees, the feedback was unanimous: people didn’t just learn—they were inspired. Her ability to tailor content to our technical teams while keeping it engaging and actionable was remarkable. What makes Rachel special: - Dynamic & Engaging – She has a natural talent for making complex topics accessible and even fun. - Results-Driven – Her sessions weren’t just theory; employees applied her frameworks immediately. - Multiple department heads specifically requested her for their teams—a testament to her impact. I can’t recommend her highly enough!

Cath is a phenomenal coach, with exceptional emotional and social intelligence, helping people to see what they can't see and consider what they wouldn't have considered without her support. Cath is creative, curious and able to connect with people at all levels with natural ease. I have personally benefited greatly from having Cath as a friend, and I truly value her insight, advice and guidance, and I can only say that any individual or organisation would be better off for having the opportunity to work with Cath. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

I really enjoyed the e-Learning module "The Art of Self-Empowerment". The structure and content really helped to re-boot and recharge me. The organisation of the module is user-friendly, interesting and simple to understand. I also enjoyed the inspirational quotes in the module from different people.

This training module was amazing. Probably the best session yet. I learned so much, the key take away from this module for me was being patient, staying calm, and being empathetic. I picked up some new tools to help me be successful in my day to day work. My favourite part was role playing the different positions. I learned a lot from others on how I can be better.
