Sev Necati Training works in partnership with "Fit for Legacy" Programme and East London Business Place

Sev Necati Training worked in partnership with East London Business Place’s Fit for Legacy programme to support female-led SME’s in developing the required business confidence to bid for and win bigger and better contracts and works opportunities!

Read more about this here:




As a consequence of attending these workshops, a number of ELBP’s female entrepreneurs have felt inspired enough to go on and start bidding for and winning contracts!
Read more about this here:




Sev delivered a series of 5 workshops as part of her “Self Esteem Programme” focused on improving female business confidence. Participants were given the opportunity to attend the whole series, or a more flexible approach was offered to those entrepreneurs who could only attend specific sessions. With this in mind each session was advance-planned and tailored to meet every participant’s expectations of a flexible approach to training. The sessions were all focused on allowing female business owners to develop an improved work-life balance, look at ways to win more business, and learn how to deal with and manage business and personal conflict in a positive and assertive way.

So …in their own words what do they say!!??




Some sound-bites from SMEs who attended: 

“Fantastic workshop – really liked the how the speaker dealt with some of the questions.”

“Sev has an interesting style that many in the group, including myself found quite motivation.”

“This workshop has been inspiring. I would like to implement this into my work / business and life. I am hoping for the best.”

“Superb! Thank you!”

“The quality of the speaker was exceptional.  I was a bit sceptical about the event but I found it truly enlightening.”

“Sev was a great speaker who made me feel at ease, as I am not very keen / comfortable with group workshops.”

“This is one of the best workshops I have been on.”

“Honest training.”

“Sev, you gave a 1st class workshop!       

“Aspirational.”

And what else do they say ….?


“Sev is one of those unique individuals who has the ability to communicate effectively and passionately on her subject matter across all ranges of groups and individuals (staff, management, end-users), and never fails to keep a small or large audience energised at any stage of the training or consultancy she provides.
Having vast experience of being a Consultant, Sev absolutely prides herself on having and working to extremely high levels of integrity, confidentiality and trust.
Always willing and able to respond to any line of questioning on her key subjects, and not only that, but with her pragmatic but professional way of translating 'words into actions' Sev Necati absolutely delivers on what she promises.
The above qualities alone mark her out as someone I would recommend without hesitation to any individual or organisation requiring her services.”

Glen Addis, Head of Client Relationships at East London Business Place

East London Business Place – “Fit for Legacy” Programme aim is to help local SMEs become aware of the enormous continuing opportunities from the major development and regeneration activity in east London.  They help SMEs understand the requirements of the procurement process, and gain the confidence to bid for contracts from buyers and larger suppliers.
The purpose is also to raise awareness among larger organisations of the benefits of contracting from London-based SMEs and to help large contractors and buyers fulfil their purchasing needs by putting them in direct contact with qualified smaller businesses.

Sev Necati Training works with Brent Council & Wykeham Children's Centre

Sev Necati worked in partnership with Brent Council and Wykeham Children’s Centre to deliver a series of workshops for women in personal safety and self-defence that access the centre and live in the local community.

The free programme “Women and Young People’s Safety Solutions” took place at Wykeham Children’s Centre and the women who were mostly mothers took part in discussions and practical exercises in self-defence, including floor work and knife exercises.



We had women access the programme from a range of different backgrounds, cultures, ages and abilities.  All the women that took part thoroughly enjoyed the session with many of them expressing how their self-esteem, confidence levels and level of fitness had increased and improved.

Some Comments from the females when asked what they enjoyed about the session:

“The partner work and team activities were very enjoyable – we learnt alongside each other and were able to develop our practical self-defence skills together.”

“Sev is amazing a very inspirational woman.  When I first meet Sev I was unaware of what to do.  She has given me the confidence to carry myself and become stronger.”

“The floor work was useful and built confidence.”

“I have appreciated the help and understanding given”

“Trainer was working with a lot of wisdom, professional, approachable and passionate!”

“I have more confidence!”



“I am more aware and alert.”

“The course was very informative and enjoyable.  We were able to share our own experiences, learn new skills, our rights and how to stay safe in particular situations.”

“It was very well taught and enabled people to ask questions about their own personal issues.”
“Excellent training.  Enjoyed the techniques, practising and the theory.”

“I am a 73 year old woman and work normally with a passive and agreeing attitude.  However I enjoyed the course and appreciated I am accepted with my limitations (not much!).  Theory and practise was very well-balanced”

Our projects work to inspire females from all backgrounds and abilities.  We work towards building the confidence of these women and girls and hope we continue to inspire them to make positive changes in their lives for their benefit.



“We were delighted with the Personal Safety Course that Sev facilitated at our centre. 100% of the women, who attended, reported an improvement in self-esteem and also felt that they had a better understanding of their rights. Sev brought a positive energy into the centre and provided a positive role model for the participants of this programme. We would highly recommend Sev to inspire and motivate women to feel better able to protect themselves and to keep themselves safe.”
