In-House Workshops

Attending public workshops is most applicable when your participant numbers would not make in-house training commercially viable (less than 8 people to attend a training session), and when you perceive a benefit from being exposed to learning how other organisations do things. 

If your company has 8 or more people requiring training, you might like to discuss the option of holding the workshops in-house at your premises, or off-site at another venue, with only your organisation's employees participating. Also, private, in-house training programs may be more desirable if there are issues of confidentiality, or for the benefit of team-building. 

Please contact me via the contact page to discuss possibilities.

Personal Coaching

I provide individual coaching to people interested in developing their skills and results in any of the content areas mentioned in this website.  Coaching is often utilised after participating in a training workshop, to reinforce the learning and help fully implement the new behaviours into the workplace.  

Of course coaching is also available and beneficial to people who choose not to attend a workshop, but prefer highly personalised advice and assistance in their development.  This might include my observing your current practices in the workplace, followed by personalised feedback and suggestions for improvement.  Or it may involve goal-setting, strategy structuring, and follow-up discussions to motivate and ensure the achievement of those goals.  

Because the coaching sessions are individual, I am happy to tailor the approach to whatever will be most beneficial to you.  

Please contact me via the contact page to discuss possibilities.
