“Attending Sarah May’s HR Masterclass in Brighton was a truly enriching experience. Despite making a 140-mile round trip to attend, every mile was worthwhile due to the engaging and insightful nature of the workshop. What stood out the most was Sarah’s exceptional ability to listen to each attendee’s personal circumstances, ensuring that the content was relevant and tailored to our individual needs. She expertly covered all the topics we hoped to learn about while fostering an inclusive environment. This approach was particularly effective in helping us realise that it’s okay to have HR concerns and issues, as we are not alone in facing them. The strategies and knowledge gained have been invaluable in enhancing my business practices. For anyone considering whether to make the trip, I assure you it’s a worthwhile investment. The opportunity to network with fellow business owners and learn from Sarah’s expertise in such a supportive environment is something not to be missed.”

The feedback from my clients has been overwhelmingly positive. They all highlighted how Sarah created a welcoming environment where their concerns were addressed with empathy and professionalism. This has significantly reduced their stress and allowed them to focus more on their core business activities.”

“I recently attended Sarah Mays’ training course on how to have difficult conversations, and it has been a transformative experience. As a business owner, I often find myself in situations where I need to deliver negative or constructive feedback, and it has always been a challenge. Before attending the course, I rated my confidence in these situations at a 5. After completing the training, I now confidently rate myself at an 8.5.

Sarah’s approach was insightful, engaging, and incredibly practical. She provided tools and techniques to manage people and handle tough conversations with more ease and effectiveness.

I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to enhance their skills in people management and feedback delivery. Sarah May truly knows how to turn a daunting task into a manageable and even empowering experience.”

“Giving a review for the course on how to have difficult conversations is anything but difficult!

Sarah delivered the course openly and allowed everyone their turn to discuss what they individually wanted to get out of the course, which led to some great collaboration amongst us taking the course, which ultimately is why we were all there. Sarah wrote down the various points and when they came up would highlight them to how this particular need it relevant in this scenario, engaging with the room but a focus on those who requested what they needed.

Going away from this, I now feel comfortable how to have these conversations, understanding there may be more to the initial topic than it seems and how to comfortably negotiate around difficult problems that may arise, and maybe avoiding having to have them altogether.

I would more than happily recommend Sarah’s courses, and I will be on the look out for future ones myself.”

Sarah is knowledgeable, approachable and a joy to work with.”

I had the pleasure of working with Sarah when we were taking our first steps towards hiring an employee. It was a dark area of unknown for me, so I needed an expert who understood that we were small and feeling our way. Sarah was like a shining light through all of the unknowns. At the end of our meeting we had a full idea of what we needed to do, what we didn’t have to worry about, and how long it was all going to take.

Since then, Sarah has advised us countless times, checked over our job advert and drawn up an employment contract.

I am going to avoid platitudes, suffice to say, we have an HR company looking after us now, and of course it is Mayday HR. If you are considering speaking to an HR person, then stop right now and speak to Sarah. It’s not just hat you won’t regret it, it’s that if you don’t you’ll never know peace of mind like it.

As a young entrepreneur, with no prior experience of hiring and maintaining a team, being able to discuss things with Sarah has taken a huge weight off my mind. She not only explains every decision making process, followed by the correct procedure, she also adds a personal touch. By explaining what she might do and what outcomes could come of that. She also strives to understands my business and my needs, before working on possible solutions and then offers tangible options/outcomes.I highly recommend working with Sarah, whatever journey you may be on.

Sarah did just that and indeed she got it just right. From the outset Sarah took the time to understand our employees needs and dealt with the situation in a seamless yet professional manner ensuring our employees understood the process and what to expect.
