Presentation Skills is a new course that we have developed in response to requests from our clients

The course takes delegates through the design, preparation and delivery of presentations.  It uses a framework that helps delegates to discover and develop their own authentic style,  build their confidence, convey their message, and understand and adapt to their audience.  It addresses both the emotional and intellectual aspects of presentations.  There are lots of opportunities for discussion and practice, and the course is tailored to the delegates' areas of expertise.

Introduction to Lean and Six Sigma takes delegates through a detailed approach to a topic that is touched upon in the Introduction to Management course

The course provides a foundation of sound business practices to ensure that participants can fully understand what their customers value, can deliver that value as efficiently as possible, and can free up the talent within their organisations to continue to innovate and grow.  The training event combines process mapping and improvement approaches to help participants make the most of their time and resources, and to ensure that each member of their team is making the most of the best business practices available to them.  The knowledge gained will enable them to critically review their deliverables (products and services), how they go about their work, and how they can work more effectively and efficiently on a continuous basis. 

The First Steps in Selling is a unique opportunity to gain the skills and confidence for achieving a diagnostic approach to sales.

The course is targeted at business developers and scientists responsible for negotiating sales for their company’s products and services with new and existing clients – with little or no formal training in selling.  Diagnostic selling is a proven holistic approach to sales that focuses on understanding your client’s requirements and how best to address them. The approach aims to build a strong and lasting relationship between supplier and customer, founded on mutual trust and understanding.
