Testimonials
These are some of the things people have said about us and our work.
“I have been inspired by the Zeida Lane course I attended. It confirmed to me the reasons why I want to stay in this job. Their amazing energy has given me renewed desire to be the best I can be.”
“The training was delivered with warmth, energy and a commitment to seeing the joy and fun in it. It makes me feel that we have a fantastic profession with the potential for relationships everyone can grow into.”
“I have learned so much and I can’t wait to put what I have learned into practice”
“It’s sometimes easier to develop a mechanical approach at work. This course has taught me that there are ways to help people to find that spark for life. I had an uncle in a Mental Heath service and I wish the staff there had this approach. It’s the kind of way we should all work and certainly how I would wish a member of my family have access to should they need support.”
“I have come to realise there is nothing we can’t achieve now that I know how to explore opportunities thoroughly.”
“Having the opportunities and attitude and giving yourself truly really does get you great results. This approach has shown me this in real way. And the benefits from simple techniques have immediate effect.”
“I have discovered that I now manage my staff with much more warmth and understanding. We were almost instantly better at sharing challenges and finding solutions together. My staff are noticeably more motivated to do the best they can for those we support.”
“My staff tell me almost daily how much more valued they feel. I wish had discovered this approach years ago.”
“The approach is simple to use and easy to learn but the results are amazing. For an small investment in time and a comparatively insignificant amount of money I have put the approach to work and got almost instant results.”

Our Story
Zeida Lane is a collaborative team of consultants, trainers and coaches who work alongside people with learning disabilities and everyone who supports them in their lives. Our aim is to work together to improve the way good support grows great lives.
We build ‘Partnerships for Progress’ with allies – so that we can create the conditions for everyone to thrive and to reach their own potential - making Positive Changes, step by step, on the way. We support this with our one-to-one work, groups, workshops, training, events & web-based approaches (to share good practice, start quality conversations & inspire learning).
Together, we establish wellbeing and resilience as the basis for individuals and teams to find their own agency and autonomy – before taking action. In this way we have developed projects that have a real transformational impact and lasting change that matters. We believe our approach is a vital balance to the heavy focus on risk and safety that can stifle the most promising of lives.
We draw on a number of influences - with a foundation in communication and coaching approaches and blending the best of person centred and self development approaches. There is a vast range of wisdom in the world from real people and places that is a rich resource to fuel our work and inspire us to be creative and think outside-the-box to maximum effect.
Our values are important to us and we constantly seek ways to show them in our actions. We work with individuals, families, communities, Organisations, Local Authorities, Voluntary Organisations, Services, Consultants and Health and Social Care professionals.
Early in 2010, three people from very different backgrounds and experiences came together to work on concerns that will be familiar to many reading our story:
The company was formed in 2010 following a successful local government funding bid for a Person Centred Approaches project working with people with learning disabilities in East Sussex to explore these questions. Zeida Lane Associates is a collaboration of individuals sharing common values and goals. The company acts as a platform for us to bring the right people together, at the right time and place to help find good answers.
As an organisation we have a fresh, innovative and focussed approach; our consultants and trainers are experienced, knowledgable and united in their belief that there is always room to reflect on the past and do things better than before.

Early in 2010, three people from very different backgrounds and experiences came together to work on concerns that will be familiar to many reading our story:
- Why are many people's lives not changing dramatically for the better despite Person Centred Approaches, increased awareness of flexible communication approaches and the emerging complexity of support staff training?
- What needs to be done differently to ensure that people get the maximum benefits from contempory policy and practice?
