WHAT WE DO:
Our system is designed to offer an affordable way for people to start redefining their expectations, developing new attitudes, and changing habits to become success focused for your best outcomes and results.
Our process starts with a skills analysis of you and your team so we can assess the knowledge and experience gaps to ensure the programme can be put together to best fit your needs.
You and/or your management team will attend a three day leadership and management workshop where you will not only learn key skills for these roles but also how to implement the training programmes with your staff.
Access to our online training solutions is the next key component to this system.
You will be given 24/7 access to these materials initially for a minimum of two years, and can be for as long as you feel you need them depending on your staff training needs as your business grows. This is provided for an affordable monthly fee.
These modules can be used as part of a structured staff training programme within your organisation or as self-paced learning by individuals. We provide you with measurement information regarding the usage of the programme so you can monitor who is doing what.
We have a growing range of new programmes being developed and you will also be given access to these if you need them.
At the same time you will also have available one-on-one coaching to ensure you are making the best use of the programme, access to our bi-monthly networking meetings and partner discounts.
Outcomes from workshop:
