‘’This course has not only improved my skills but has also made work more enjoyable…’’

This course could not have come at a better time for me. I recently joined a procurement shared services function, responsible for the procurement of professional services across multiple large and complex organisations. I was admittedly hesitant to sign-up to the course at first; I mean, what is there to learn about 'soft skills', right? Wrong**! I signed up at the 11th hour and I have not looked back since.**

While technical skills are important in procurement, I've learned that soft skills are equally, if not more crucial in delivering the full procurement value proposition. Tom's teaching materials and course delivery were excellent. The practical frameworks provided covered fundamental aspects essential for procurement leaders of all levels, including influencing, negotiating, building effective stakeholder relationships, and managing difficult conversations. This course has not only improved my ‘soft skills’ but has also made work more enjoyable and has helped me to manage stress more effectively.

It was a pleasure to get to know my fellow course mates and learn from their experiences (networking is powerful). I would sincerely recommend this course to anyone, regardless of role and experience. Thank you Tom, keep up the good work :)

About Tom Mills

In case we haven’t met, I’m Tom Mills, founder of Procure Bites, and recognised as the Procurement Protagonist on LinkedIn.

With over 12 years in Procurement leadership roles and a similar period leading Buying and Purchasing functions across major food grocery, sports nutrition, fashion, catering, and financial services brands, I’ve honed a core set of Soft Skills that have set me apart and propelled my career forward.

A decade ago, I was tasked with transforming a Procurement team that was merely skirting around the edges of the organisation. They were:

I came to realise that my success in driving Procurement transformation relied less on ‘what I knew’ and more on ‘how I communicated that knowledge effectively’. This transformation not only advanced my professional standing but bolstered my personal confidence.

Today, I feel equipped to tackle any Procurement role with confidence, even if I don’t perfectly match the job criteria.

Why? Because I’ve cultivated the soft skills – the self-awareness and emotional intelligence – needed to foster top-tier engagement and deliver game changing Procurement outcomes across any organisation.

<aside> 🙂 *“I will get the procurement aspects out of the way first. Tom clearly knows his subject inside out and this brings direct and tangible benefits to businesses.

He came into an organisation that needed guidance around procurement and immediately began to deliver by working out what worked and pulling, pushing, nudging, cajoling, influencing to make improvements. And he did all this in a constructive helpful way. Both within and outside the procurement discipline, Tom demonstrates soft skills a-plenty.

I fondly remember him chairing a ‘herding cats’ style meeting, remotely, never losing his temper, keeping things on track, untwisting gnarly points and taking us to a good conclusion. No mean feat! A strong communicator and influencer, Tom brings positivity, pragmatism and good sense to all interactions whether procurement-related or not”*
