Description
This two day workshop is highly interactive and practical. Participants learn through a range of teaching and personal development methods including presentations, tutorials, and worked examples. Active participation and involvement is encouraged throughout the training course to promote the sharing of ideas and expertise within the group.
How will this Workshop be Presented?
This workshop combines theory and practice. We use company examples to illustrate how the techniques presented have been applied in real case studies. The purpose is to use a mix of proven learning techniques to ensure maximum understanding, comprehension and retention of the information presented.
The session concludes with each participant practising the skills they have learned by making a short presentation to the group. At the client’s option, it would be possible to invite Senior Managers from the employer organisation to be present in the audience and to participant in participant feedback sessions.
