It equips line managers and project leaders with tools and techniques that will enable them to progress smoothly and effectively from a team member to a management role.  The three days are based around John Adair's 3-part framework of managing the individual, developing the team, and managing the task.

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.
