Do you accept that OK is good enough? Without goals and motivation we will never strive for more. Have you become a plodder? In this post I share how I once felt like this and how I changed it.
Yes, you read that right! We’ve removed PowerPoint from our in-person training courses.
Instead we opt for more creative ways to deliver course content and create more discussions in our courses.
No matter how you attend your course, we will always ensure it's interactive and engaging.
Our courses are designed specially for the delivery method to ensure we maximise the tools available.
We don’t spend time on theory. We’ll introduce it but focus more attention on practical tools and ideas that you can actually take away and use.
We’ll provide the theory in your course materials to take away with you.
Our pricing is clear. You’ll see the exact price of our open training courses on our site where these are available.
We’ll quote an all-inclusive price for in-house and bespoke work. You won’t pay a penny more than we quote you.
