// Training

Too often training is toe-curlingly dull. Which is such a shame, because learning is one of the most satisfying things we can do. I create sessions which blend expertise, fun and constructivist learning to make a real difference to learners.

I deliver in-house training on the following topics:

Online Meeting Fundamentals

A thorough grounding in running meetings online, including the opportunity to develop your skills by leading part of the session. Includes managing software and hardware along with three basic meeting principles to help your sessions be a success. Perfect for those who need to run online meetings and want to do it well.

  • Ideal for project officers, administrators, chairs and people who would really prefer to be face to face.

  • 2 ½ hours

  • 5 People +

Using facilitation fundamentals, this programme focuses on maximising participation and engagement in an online setting. You’ll get to try out a whole host of tools and techniques, and perfect an approach that works for you. Suitable for those who are confident at running online meetings, and want to increase the impact of their sessions.

  • Ideal for managers, leaders and anyone who needs to get engagement from their next meeting.

  • 3 x 2 hour sessions plus 1 hour of individual coaching

  • 5 People +

If your meeting has a chair, terms of reference and/or elected members then this training will help you to get more done. Covering agenda setting, time management and avoiding circular conversations this is the route to increased effectiveness you’ve been after.

  • 2.5 hours for the entire committee plus 1 hour for the Chair.

  • Your full committee or group.

Generating ideas is one of the most exciting things we can do as a group. I use 20 years of design experience and a huge library of tried and tested creative techniques to train you in ways to generate ideas and get unstuck from where you are.

  • Ideal for design and marketing teams, charity enterprises, starts-ups and senior leaders.

  • Available as ½ day, 1 day or as an add-in to an existing programme.

  • Groups of 3+

When it comes to delivering content online, some people have just got it, others haven’t – right? Wrong. There’s lots you can do to become more and more engaging in how you present your message. From your use of tone to the methods you use to convey information I offer training in how to wow the world whilst still wearing your slippers.

  • Ideal for managers, conference speakers, lecturers or anyone who wants to have more credibility working online.

  • Programme runs as 3 x 1 hour session for groups of up to three plus individual coaching.

Often training courses don’t provide exactly what you are after, and sometimes the best solution is to start from scratch. I’m always interested to hear what you’d like to know more about and see if I (or my network) can help.
