| Date/s | Course title | Description |
| Wednesday 24 April - Thursday 25 April | Brilliant Thinking Made Easy | This course is for anyone in business who needs to build their confidence and capability in helping and influencing others with their questions, insights and ideas. |
| Thursday 2 May | Coaching: an introductory workshop | Coaching takes an individual and personal approach to learning and development. Well done, it is wonderfully effective in liberating performance. However, it isn’t always well done. This single day’s programme will show you how to coach your team with confidence. |
| Tuesday 7 May | Supervisory Skills | Taking a supervisory role is the first step into management - an exciting but often challenging move. This one day workshop covers all the essential skills that you will need to ensure that you feel confident to carry out this role effectively. |
| Thursday 9 May | Managing Meetings | Meetings are part of many people’s day to day work and yet few of us are trained to understand what happens to us in groups or how to facilitate effective meetings. That’s why we can often leave meetings wondering “What just happened?” unclear what the outcome was, or feeling we didn’t get the result we wanted. |
| Tuesday 14 May | Managing Performance Motivationally | This one day programme enables managers to raise performance in individuals and teams with greater effectiveness. |
| Wednesday 15 May - Thursday 16 May | Influencing & Persuasion in Business | This course will help you bring people around to your way of thinking, reducing resistance to new ideas and eliminating conflict. Delegates will learn how to build rapport more easily by utilising appropriate communication styles and they will practice persuasion techniques for dealing with difficult people and situations. |
| Wednesday 22 May | Facilitation Skills Workshop | This one day workshop will give you the skills, tools and confidence needed to facilitiate effectively. This workshop is appropriate for anyone who needs to work with groups to achieve change and improve effectiveness. |
