“Due to the success of the first few encounters, we engaged further with Nora to assist us post Covid with the implementation of new technology and systems. Most importantly Podd Consulting helped formulate, develop, execute and implement a People Resource Strategy closely aligned to our Vision , Values and key Pillars for Success.
Nora has also assisted to forging a more contemporary and current approach to all things “Human” and people orientated, from our ability to attract, to their experience when with us. It is a partnership that works well, and one we are still currently engaged with.”

“Our team recently had the pleasure of attending the Enhancing the Customer Experience - CX training course, and I must say that the benefits were outstanding. The training was expertly delivered by Nora Douds who provided a positive and interactive learning environment. Throughout the course, the team learned valuable strategies and techniques to improve our customer service skills. The benefits were invaluable, and I am confident that any team that takes this course will see positive results in their customer service operations.”
Katie Jackson, Business Manager, The Regency, Belfast
“Having no hospitality experience whatsoever, Nora has become a guiding light for me over the six months that we have been working together. In our sessions to date she has helped me to organise my own thoughts and formulate a path ahead in many departments across the business but particularly marketing and team development and recruitment. I would highly recommend Nora to anyone who feels they would benefit from some strategic guidance – she will reassure you and challenge you with a perfect balance!”
