About Us

"Nancy ran a workshop on facilitation skills for us. It definitely hit the mark.

It was one of the rare occasions when people wanted to give feedback and came to let me know about the great results they had seen."

~ Jo-Anne Chidley, People Development Controller
McCurrach UK Limited

The information on this web site was very informative and exactly what I was looking for. I was able to see each days lessons and apply the information to what I needed to learn. Thank you!! It was great! :-)

~ Wendy McMahon

I just wanted to pass along my praise for your e-documents available for download. The price is fairly reasonable and they are helpful little tip booklets, including the one on performance and PowerPoint best practices, both of which I purchased. People are often busy and need short, easily accessible materials to help them learn and apply information on the job. Americans often call those "job aids."

As well, your performance booklet was "spot on" and alluded to the key factors in individual performance, based on Thomas Gilbert's Behavior Engineering Model and Douglas McGregor's Theory X. I have a Master's in Human Performance Technology from the US, so I applaud you for that. Keep in mind, that there are also organizational or systemic factors at work that can prevent an individual from performing as they need to or want to. Of course, wider organizational issues affecting performance are a lot more difficult and expensive to correct.

Keep up the great document production!

Just a quick email to say 'thank you' for yesterday's Teleseminar - 13 Ways to Deal with Bullying at Work.

I found it very useful and really enjoyable.

Kind regards

Hi, I've have just finished reading Nancy's book 'Difficult People Made Easy' which I found fascinating!  I know some of the information from here will help me with a particularly difficult person in my organisation, I am reflecting on our interactions up to this point and revising my approach with some fresh ideas from the book.

A link to your site was sent to me by a colleague in HR and I have found the site and information available amazing, also the service I received when ordering some books - I ordered them mid-afternoon Friday 5th Feb and received them in the post on Saturday morning (6th).

Thank You

~ Julie Batson

Thank you for all the excellent and valuableinformation you have given me.

Thank you so much for such a terrific, engaging and thoroughly enjoyable session. All the feedback has been extremely and exceptionally positive. You were awesome and greatly appreciated by us all.

Your name will be advertised and recommended on all future invitations as a 'CAPD Presenter' and on the forthcoming CAPD web site. We shall certainly recommend you to any interested CAPD members and we wish you every good luck and success for the future. 

Kindest regards

I can honestly say that Grapevine is the one newsletter that I always read and frequently refer to. The newsletters are full of common sense, practical advice and interesting anecdotes - a pleasure to read and very easily applied in the workplace.

I have really appreciated all of your very useful items over the time I have been a subscriber - always very practical, relevant  issues dealt with with the utmost common sense.

Thank You.

~ Anne Lasckey

Your advice on writing objectives was really useful – I now whiz through a task that I used to agonize hours over!

~ Joanne Conaty
Sr Director, Clinical Strategy & Planning

Hi Nancy,
Just wanted to thank you for a very interesting teleseminar.  I’d previously purchased the booklet which I read with interest and subsequently passed to certain members of staff to read.  The teleseminar reinforced the contents very clearly.
 
I strongly believe the key to an effective workforce is objective setting, clear responsibilities and being consistent with all staff – if you have those three elements in place it’s much easier.  We’re a business that’s grown rapidly from two members of staff to seven in five short, or so it seems, years.  Finding clear information on dealing with employees can be a struggle so I’m extremely glad that I came across your website and services.

Keep up the good work!

Kind Regards,

~ Diane Styles

Thank You Nancy, that was very good. I think I'll sign my team up for your next time management seminar.

It may come as a surprise, but managing people really doesn’t have to be difficult or complicated.

It’s true that everyone is different, and there are many variables – but performance management isn’t a dark art – and I can show you how to make it work for you and your team.

I’ll show you how to sort out your problem people and turn failing managers around. How to make those who struggle to manage their team - costing the company money and time in the process - into valuable assets. How to set SMART objectives, set targets and goals and carry out performance and staff appraisals that motivate people to succeed. How to make unsuccessful departments into winning teams.

At Vinehouse we can give you the tools and techniques you need to manage your team effectively, and to deal with those difficult people that are a part of everyone’s business or private life.

There’s no magic in doing it - it just feels like that when you get it right.

Welcome to Vinehouse.

Prices for books, booklets, CDs and DVDs now include postage and packing in the UK. You will also find there are discounts for larger orders and bargain packs of products.

New! Vinehouse booklets are now available as downloadable files following many requests from customers.

"There are some objectives we as a company have always struggled with, with a creative background we tended to shy away from setting particular objectives with the fear that this would stifle our ‘creative culture’, but as a growing company we knew these objectives were necessary to set the correct structure for future growth. When I approached Nancy to address some of these issues, I was amazed! The answers were so simple.

What Nancy helped us realise was that we were constantly using the same approach (and hence applying the same fears) every time we broached these objectives. With Nancy’s help we were able to view these in a different, more results driven way, which in turn not only led us to solving the particular objectives I originally approached her about, but has also set us up with a system for tackling these types of objectives in the future.

I would happily recommend Vinehouse to anyone who has the same problem, particularly if, like us, you thought the problem was unsolvable."

Jacqui Roberts, Operations Manager, Ash Gaming

I first heard of Vinehouse Essential some time ago, and since then have found their various publications very useful.

Whilst working for a multinational I was asked to introduce a computer based appraisal system across the whole company (worldwide) and knowing some of the work that Nancy had done in the past felt that she would be able to help out with this.

I had a very short timeframe to propose and introduce this system and after one meeting with Nancy was very happy that she was able to help.

We designed and implemented a competency based appraisal system that was totally web based. This was presented to the company who were very pleased with the system, and they adopted it across the whole organisation.

It has now been in place for over a year, and I recently checked with the Head of HR how well it was working, as I was concerned because most of the organisation had not used any form of appraisal in the past.

I was delighted to hear that it had been embraced by all managers who were delighted to have a simple and effective performance management tool. It had clearly been a huge success, and one which will benefit the company in the future.
