Hi Abigail

 

 

Our personal development courses cover a wide range of topics, so you'll be sure to find something to suit your needs. Take a look at our top picks for June:

 

Working Together as a Team – Wednesday 9 June

In this training, we will explore how to work more effectively together within organisations. Communication is the backbone of any successful organisation, and finding the right balance is crucial to driving both performance and wellbeing. You will learn how to make meetings effective and what different communication channels can be used. We will also explore how job roles and outcomes align with the wider organisation. Sign up for Working Together as a Team here.

 

Mastering Time Management – Friday 11 June

'I love deadlines; I love the whooshing sound they make as they fly by…’ Sound familiar? If you identify with Douglas Adams (of Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy fame), this course is for you. It’ll teach you everything you need to know to make that whooshing noise into a small squeak that rarely happens because you do what needs doing on time. You’ll learn the fundamentals of time management to make yourself more productive, more effective and more successful. Sign up for Mastering Time Management here.
