This course covers the essentials to be an effective minute taker: organising the meeting, where to sit, active listening, note taking, recording styles and interrupting for clarity. Minute taking templates are provided to give attendees options to adapt back at work.
Presentation Skills
This one day course will provide attendees with the confidence and skills to present in front of groups ranging from 4 to 400. Attendees will have the chance to make a formal presentation at the start of the course and will make further informal presentations throughout the day. By the end of the day attendees will have covered planning, structure, handling questions with confidence, delivery hints and tips and managing nerves.
Assertiveness Skills
Of course, there are no difficult people, only difficult people situations! This one day course focuses on both mind and body in changing situations that are perceived as ‘difficult’.
Visualisation techniques combined with best practice techniques on how to deal with tricky situations raises awareness and confidence in attendees.
Time Management
Guaranteed results on this one folks or your money back! Recent attendees have reported a saving in time of 2 hours per day (Simon Turner, Carlsberg) and reductions in stress (Andrew Sharman, Airwair International) due to implementing tried and tested techniques to prioritise to achieve projects that matter and to know what work to leave undone.
People Management Skills
It is hard to manage others effectively if you are your main obstacle! This course focuses on empowering others to achieve their maximum potential. Each person will work on how they can increase output from their staff by communicating more effectively to achieve empowerment.
