Workouts

How do organisations find the time (and the money!) to polish those essential skills which everyone needs to do their jobs effectively and efficiently – taking part in meetings, managing their time, making presentations, working as a team and a host of others?

90 minute Workouts provide an answer. These short, intensive training sessions equip those taking part with the principles of the subject. Structured preparation and guidance on application help focus those principles on the practical working circumstances of those taking part.

Many of the Workouts use ‘trigger videos’ to prompt discussion. These are short video sequences illustrating particular aspects of the subject. For example, how not to criticise someone and how to do it properly.
