We collaborate with educators at all levels, with businesses and professional firms, delivering a memorable, interactive learning experience.
Using an experiential approach – learning by doing and reflecting - creating bespoke and relevant case studies or scenarios, our workshops focus on wider leadership and relationship building skills - bringing theory to life. Participants are given the opportunity to practise a realistic work related challenge in a facilitated, simulated meeting in a supportive, low risk environment.
Our skilled and experienced facilitators ensure a psychological safe space where their knowledge of learning tools and models allows them to deliver valuable, non-judgemental, developmental feedback to participants. Providing a unique opportunity to reflect on the impact made and, through active, guided observation, raise awareness for all participants on what makes effective and supportive communication in these contexts.
This method is 100% learner and human centred.
Delivering high-quality, engaging, and practical learning experiences is always our top priority and we consistently see that reflected in the feedback received from our clients.
We would love the opportunity to discuss this approach with you and invite you to call to our stand (#21) at a convenient point for you during the day. Alternatively contact Rita via our website or LinkedIn page.
