CASE STUDIES
HOW THRIVE FUTURE WORKS
Meet Janine Eden-Riley, Founder of Thrive Future
A brief insight into Thrive Future's working methods.
ANDREW'S STORY
The truth behind blockages to performance
Janine, Founder of Thrive Future introduces Andrew who had lived life with his back to the corner ever since a violent incident in childhood. The realisation of how the incident had impacted his entire life was brought about by a meeting with Janine at Thrive Future.
That meeting changed everything ...
12 X ROI IN THE PUBLIC SECTOR
Thrive created a revolutionary turnaround programme for Job Centre Plus, DWP
Thrive Future delivered a 12x ROI in four months.
​
We delivered an organisational transformation. From a workforce of 26,000 we took the 3 worst performing teams.
We tailored a programme and those 3 teams achieved a 35% improvement in productivity. They also turned around to become the top 3 performing teams within the year.
​
"We saw a marked improvement in attendance management results as well as a greater maturity of behaviours from the managers in the offices covered by Janine’s work."

STUART'S TESTIMONIAL
Finance Director turns around himself and an underperforming team
Stuart explains how Thrive Future took a team from one of the worst performing teams in the company to one of the best.
COACHING FOR LEADERS
Executive coaching with truly life changing results
J BAKER, HEAD OF INTERNATIONAL LICENSING, DREAMWORKS ANIMATION:
​
“Janine has a unique ability to navigate through surface level behaviours and get to the essence of who you really are – and explore how to make you a more effective leader. Her approach is targeted, specific to the individual and truly liberating.
I would recommend to any senior executive looking to challenge themselves to consider spending coaching time with Janine – the results can be life changing.”

ANDREW'S TESTIMONIAL
Andrew finds a new way forward
Restricting behaviours can be so habitual they become normalised, stifling happiness, freedom, progress and fulfillment. Andrew tells his story here, with warmth and pragmatism.
APRIL'S TESTIMONIAL
How preparing April for promotion had far reaching results
With palpable increased confidence in herself, April introduced her team to Thrive Future so they could benefit as she had. April tells here how their productivity and collaboration improved along with their care for their work ... and for each other.
CREATING A HIGH PERFORMANCE GRADUATE
PROGRAMME
Thrive turned around an underperforming programme into one that now ranks in the TIMES TOP 100 GRADUATE PROGRAMMES for Mercer UK
A measure of the success of this programme that it took Mercer just 3 years to rank in The Times Top 100 Graduate Programmes from the time we re-designed their graduate scheme.
​
We found the sweet spot that aligned Mercer's strategic goals with the needs of the graduate participants. We recognise the personal investment is intensely high for both the company and the graduates, we created a relevant, energetic, vibrant programme that journeys the graduates from their first days right through to becoming Mercer's future performers.
​
PAUL'S TESTIMONIAL
A life long barrier is knocked down
Paul explains with genuine warmth how his introversion turned to isolation at work. With Thrive, he moved forward with freedom to form meaningful relationships that matter.
"CHANGING THE MANAGERS THAT CHANGE M&S"
An innovative multi-level leadership intervention.
M&S wisely invested in their managers. We we created bespoke Leadership Development Programme specifically for M&S's management layers.
It was an intervention later credited by M&S bosses with "changing the managers that changed M&S".
​
Their feedback says "I would describe Janine’s (CEO) approach in organisations as a bit like a Stealth Jet - she can go unnoticed but her impact is widely felt. She is brave, engaging, emotionally adept, and authentic. She will always be herself, and will fight for what she believes in.”
RADICAL TURNAROUND:
CRAIG'S TESTIMONIAL
Every day, Craig dreaded going into work.
Here, he talks openly about the barriers he faced on a daily basis. This moving account explains how Thrive brought about positive, radical change, not just for Craig, but for his colleagues and managers too.
​
INNOVATIVE ONE-TO-ONE COACHING
Genuine, careful, personalised coaching brings about true change. It is never about teaching new 'coping strategies'.
A KNIGHT, SENIOR MANAGER IN 13,000-STRONG REGULATORY BODY:
​
“Integrity is at the heart of Thrive Future, this and the commitment and enthusiasm to provide a whole person experience has proved much better than the formulaic process approach I have experienced through other systems and with other providers. When I approached Janine and David, I thought I was looking for solutions by identifying flaws in my personality to improve my personal effectiveness and business relationships.
I was expecting more emotional clutter, another a label leading to another classification and a pack of good advice on how to interact with the other labels and classifications for the benefit of all. I have spent a long time allowing myself ,and others, to scribble on my self-picture to the point that I had lost sight of my greatest asset; me!
The innovative and professional approach of Thrive Future has allowed me to reconnect with who I am, and what I have to offer, to value my contribution and the contribution of others. Great teams are groups of individuals working for shared goals. The power comes from individuality not conformity. This, in my view, is real and sustainable business improvement because it is believable, achievable and you can live with it.
This is not purely a business programme. I have received positive feedback from colleagues, friends and family that they have seen a rapid, significant and fundamental change in my approach to work and relationships.
Thrive Future care at an individual level and as the old saying goes: – take care of the pennies and the pounds will take care of themselves.
