Training
Facilitating team and people development sessions with proven ROI.
Training has always been defined as a couple of people sitting down, schoolroom style, listening to a trainer. This “spray and pray” model is so outdated. So too are canned, “off the shelf” programmes. Anything that comes out of a can has preservatives!
I have have perfected participatory, custom developed soft skills development interventions, and have been presenting using my unique experiential and conversational styles for over 10 years!
Clients who have completed our training programmes have shown not only increased employee performance, but by engaging me on an ongoing, contractual basis, have cut their training expenditure markedly.
Because I'm hands-on, you are assured of high impact, quality and a fresh approach. In fact, I'm so "hands-on" that your team will never be left in a room with a trainer. All programmes are personally tailored and presented by me.
I often hear that because I'm not manual-bound, that an equal amount of learning takes place along the periphery of the content. In other words, my management experience allows me to answer questions relating to real-life situations immediately. This means that you get on-the-spot solutions to the challenges you face in the workplace.
Interpersonal Skills
Based on the philosophy that we can get the best out of business and personal relationships by treating others the way they want to be treated (contrary to popular custom), this programme is a must for all teams, managers at every level of the organisation and, especially, sales personnel.
The programme equips each delegate with the fundamental skills to build effective, lasting relationships and also provides them with an easy-to-use method for creating a better understanding of themselves and the behaviour of others.
Brilliant Speaking and Presenting
With greater time pressures and an increased focus on written communication in business, the art of speaking and effectively getting your message across has become even more important.
No matter what level of the organisation people function in, they are invariably called upon to present to others in the form of meetings, presentations, interviews, sales calls, television interview or conveying corporate policy to the public.
In response to this, and on the request from my clients, I have put together this two-day programme.
Managing Time for Results
The time we have saved using technology only became more busy time. We now probably do less in more time. The world, our clients and our bosses have become more demanding. 10 years ago we were quite happy to find out that our insurance company will take 10 days to settle our claim. Today we want it done in 24 hours.
Time Management is one of the common misconceptions of modern management. The fact remains that it is impossible to manage time, because whatever we do during our business day, time will tick by. The concept of “time management” therefore relies more on a person’s attitude towards time and how they manage their tasks in relation to business priorities.
Creativity and Problem-solving
Most of us are aware that in order to survive in the corporate arena, we need to adapt to changing circumstances. Innovative companies however, go one step further. They don’t just want to survive the changing tides; they want to create the future!
To achieve that, innovative companies venture into unknown territories and unseen places. They are not scared to experiment and fall on their face every now and again. They know that successfully creating the unexpected goes hand in hand with a great tolerance for failure and the ability to learn from mistakes.
