  • Management Courses
      • We deliver face to face practical training specifically designed to tackle the real-world issues in your workplace.
      • We have a library of courses built from our experience to cover all contemporary business issues or can tailor delivery to fit your specific business needs. For tailored delivery, we will request preparatory materials from you to be received no later than 10 business days prior to the first date of course delivery. If materials are not received, we will deliver a course from our library.
      • Courses are delivered at your venue and available for up to 30 participants on each occasion, unless otherwise agreed.
      • Courses are invoiced per participant enrolled, regardless of attendance on the day. Substitutions are accepted on the day.
  • Corporate Coaching and/or Facilitation
      • We provide group or individual coaching and facilitation to assist participants to gain perspective and uncover the solutions that can help them make a real impact as a manager.
      • Individual coaching may be provided by electronic means. Group coaching or facilitation is provided face to face at your venue or by electronic means. Some coaching may also be available in webinar format.
      • The extent and content of coaching or facilitated sessions will depend upon your business needs.
      • Coaching is provided on a confidential basis and specifics of sessions will not be discussed. Where requested, we may provide a general report on progress after every third session.
      • Where coaching is provided to individuals, we will work with the individual to identify their needs and goals and structure coaching accordingly.
      • For group coaching or facilitation, we request your guidance on what goals you aim to achieve and structure the training toward those goals. We prefer to receive your guidance at least 10 business days prior to first date of delivery of group coaching. If we don’t hear from you, we will prepare for group sessions based upon the information we have to hand.
  • We have access to third party resources. Where we determine that it would be appropriate to use other licenced resources to support coaching sessions, we will recommend use of those materials and additional costs may apply.
  • Where the services we offer don’t seem to be exactly what you are looking for, we are happy to work with you to develop a program that suits your business.
  • We may recommend you extend the number of sessions purchased so that the business is able to ensure that key objectives are achieved.
  • We may suggest participants view a variety of offline or online resources as part of our coaching delivery. It is the participant’s responsibility to make a note of those resources, we won’t necessarily send them to you.
