Business Training

Training Programme

We’ve developed a range of training programmes for Leaders, Directors, Managers and Team Leaders.

Courses take place in great places with fantastic food and great people.

All courses help you think through what’s going on in your business, use your own expertise and learn from others in the same situation. You’ll also learn new approaches and have time to reflect on a one to one basis.

There is also the chance to maximise your learning through pre-course work and coaching sessions depending on your time and budget.

Emotional Intelligence
Communication in any business is key to getting things done, whether it’s communicating strategy, targets or who’s doing what.

This two day training event covers:

• Communication and learning styles
• Barriers to effective communication
• The impacts on your business
• Rapport and influencing skills
• Language that inflates and deflates your people
• Metaphors that boost your business

Coaching Skills for leaders and managers

Coaching is a growing approach in management. As a community worker 17 years ago I used coaching techniques with people – finding out what the issues were, listening to their views and ideas to make a difference – questioning to clarify meaning and help a group of people decide what their goal was. It just wasn’t called coaching!

Coaching in business is a way of getting the best out of people. It helps people think through what it is they want to achieve, understand their barriers – whether real or perceived and helps them develop strategies to meet their goals and most importantly – take action! – So how do you coach people – firstly come on the course and find out!

A two day training course to discover:

• An understanding of the coaching approach and how it works.
• What coaching is and isn’t
• The coaching framework
• Listening and questioning skills that get the best from people
• Models and techniques to inspire you, your people and customers.
