Trusted when it really counts

Credibility when it matters
When the audience is demanding and the subject is sensitive
Training that lands at every level of the organisation
“We have really enjoyed working with Arrisan on the roll out of a large mandatory programme. They listened attentively to our needs and have been flexible and responsive throughout every stage. The quality of the training, and especially the trainers, has been highly praised. Participant feedback, from entry level roles to the most senior, has been universally positive.”
Katherine Hallam | Director of Talent Management | Baker McKenzie
Authoritative, empathetic delivery of sensitive content
“Arrisan’s psychological safety training was appreciated by both managers and employees in my team. Graham explained the concepts and impacts effectively, and with empathy, resulting in a potentially contentious session being received constructively. The delivery was both authoritative and informal, producing a positive environment for discussion. Highly recommended.”
David Chisholm | former Regional Director | Apple
Best-in-class legal training trusted by senior leaders
“Hilary's training sessions consistently receive excellent feedback from business leaders, lawyers and HR specialists alike. Her ability to engage an audience on legal issues in an authoritative yet entertaining way is second to none, and summed up in this client feedback: 'Hilary is frankly the best legal trainer out there”.
Monica Kurnatowska | former Partner (Employment & Compensation) | Baker McKenzie
Credibility and humanity that secured genuine buy-in
“The duty to prevent sexual harassment was the platform I needed to run culture training. While compliance was important, our goal was to empower everyone with the confidence to recognize and address any type of inappropriate behaviour effectively. Low cost options were a false economy as they fail to engage and would have undermined how seriously we take our culture. I knew how good Arrisan are at training, and that their experience meant they would be able to handle whatever questions came their way. The training was exceptionally well received, and the positive impact was acknowledged by our General Counsel. The combination of credibility, practicality, and humanity got the buy-in I was looking for.”

Changing behaviour, not just awareness
“I’ve seen many providers in my decades in L&D, but Arrisan is best in class. Beyond exceptional feedback, their work changed the conversation, created a culture of openness and gave tools senior leaders could use immediately. It’s not theory: it changes behaviour and strengthens culture where it matters most.”

Building inclusive, respectful leadership capability
“Graham and Hilary from Arrisan have distilled their deep legal expertise and substantial experience of handling dignity at work, discrimination and dispute issues in the workplace into a high level, fast paced and thought provoking training programme, which was very well received by the Southbank Centre's Leadership Team. They do not shy away from exploring the subtleties, complexities and challenges of creating and maintaining a genuinely inclusive and respectful workplace culture, equipping leaders with the confidence, skills and understanding to work towards achieving this aim.”
Katy Dent | Director of People & Culture | Southbank Centre
Equipping leaders with tools that improve resilience and performance
“Arrisan provided our senior leadership team with an exceptional training programme.

The input from the trainer was always grounded and applicable to the real world. Outstanding.”

Authority that brings complex legal risk to life

Hilary brings humour and an element of fun to her work which colleagues and clients always enjoyed. I would not hesitate to recommend her”.
John Evason | former Head of Employment and Partner | Baker McKenzie
