Our training isn't what you'd expect.
If you're a little tired of sitting in a room with tables set up in a U shape, with a bottle of water every few seats and an overhead projector that won't focus properly, while someone enthusiastically but inexpertly trains at you with a series of misspelled PowerPoint slides as though you're twelve years old, then I might have a solution.
It's based on the premise that this kind of training doesn't work, and never did. It's like if someone showed you how to kick a football then sent you out on the field and expected you to score. That ain't how it's done.

Training in effective communication
As the basis of our course we use one of your own writing projects. We ask you to choose a piece of writing you're about to commence, or one that you've already started that might be going a little wonky, and we guide you through the process of developing it. This works fine in groups of up to about eight people (they learn from one another's challenge), or one-on-one.
I'll even tell you not to take notes – because we all know they'll only end up never being seen again. What I'll explain to you will make sense, so you'll remember it. You'll learn the principles of how to communicate effectively in writing, not just rules.
By the end of the session you'll have a solid outline of your project and a neat new communications arsenal at your disposal that will serve you well for next time. This is also one of the few training courses you can do that will leave you with less work to do when you get back to the office.
