Practical and relevant one-day workshop

Get interactive guidance, relevant notes and personal feedback.

Theory takes second place to practicality; delegates are helped to ‘own’ the ideas and apply them to their own situation. Our training will involve interpersonal exercises to support the learning.

  • Making recommendations that colleagues will listen to – and act upon
