What is training from experience?
We have developed a number of interactive in-house products and information sessions that distill the key learnings and skills from our work over 2 decades.
We have found that to build skills, training must engage the interest of participants, be directly relevant but also extend participants and not be too easy.
We provide end-to-end pre-workshop analysis to ensure we are clear on the goals of the organisation and group, in-room facilitation and coaching and post-workshop evaluation and implementation where that is required.
We have workbooks and electronic information that can be customised.
