Handling Difficult People (Assertiveness Skills)

Of course, there are no difficult people, only difficult people situations! This one day course focuses on both mind and body in changing situations that are perceived as ‘difficult’.

Visualisation techniques combined with best practice techniques on how to deal with tricky situations raises awareness and confidence in attendees.

Time Management Training

Guaranteed results on this one folks or your money back! Recent attendees have reported a saving in time of 2 hours per day (Simon Turner, Carlsberg) and reductions in stress (Andrew Sharman, Airwair International) due to implementing tried and tested techniques to prioritise to achieve projects that matter and to know what work to leave undone.

Train the Trainer Course

A 2 day course covering leading edge design, delivery and evaluation techniques. The psychology of how people learn, group dynamics and structuring a session to maximise learning is covered. Attendees have the opportunity to implement the learning on day 2 by running a short training session they are currently working on to the other attendees. Feedback is provided and delegates are sent their videos for self-assessment.

Presentation Skills

Good presentation skills are vital in communicating ideas and for influencing others to follow your direction. In customer negotiations your presentation skills determine success or failure and large contracts hinge on your ability to put across your message. Once learned, good presentation skills reward you for the rest of your life. This course uses video filming and playback to provide feedback and help delegates see themselves as other do.
