Workshops and Training

I offer a wide range of personal development workshops.
The complete list is detailed on my website The Growth Zone.

Those shown below may be of particular interest to vets and related professionals.

If you have a group of six or more people interested in this work we can explore dates or venues to suit or I will start/add you to a waiting list.

Body Talk : Confident communication skills an introductory session on improving communication skills.
Computers have manuals-why don't people?

Are there times when :
• you know you said exactly the right thing but failed to have the effect you anticipated
• you don't know what it takes to get through to them?
• they all heard the same message but understood it to mean something different?

In this session you will be introduced to different communication styles, how to recognise them and how to maximise effective communication. An absolute must for anyone working with a team!

The Art of Influence!
Using insights from the realms of psychometric testing and marketing this will take your ability to communicate your message to new levels.
In our marketing, we don’t sell a product we influence people. When we influence people we create new possibilities for them to feel and to experience. We are painting a picture in their mind of how they will look or feel when they are using one of our products or services.

This seminar features a unique combination of marketing skills and science of human behaviour, allowing you to recognise the real needs and desires that your products meet for different customers.

Stop worrying, start living
What's stopping you?
Fear of getting it wrong, showing yourself up, making decisions, change, whatever…
For most of us there's something that, "If only it wasn't there or that hadn't happened" then we'd be OK. However, if we choose to wait until we're no longer afraid then we might be waiting a very long time!

By the end of the course you can expect to:

• understand that we always have choices
• know how to use language to support positive choices
• take responsibility for what you can change – not for what you can't!
• have tools that you can use to support your personal growth

The day will be in two parts.
First we will look at worry, what we do, why we do it and more importantly, how to stop it! There are techniques that you can learn, tools you can use. They are not magic wands but, if you are committed to using them they will build up your skill and your strength.

We will also focus on the "Start living" aspect of the title, what to do to put something positive into our lives…

Working for a living or working for a life?!
A practical workshop helping you take stock of your lifestyle, identify your personal needs & values and to create strategies for a more rewarding life.
If you're doing OK and you know there's more to life - but you're not sure exactly what, this is the workshop for you!
This rich personal development programme contains four component themes

• Where are you now?
• What's holding you back?
• Where are you going?
• What's it all about?

For further information or booking, please do contact me if you have any questions. All day workshop.

Step up, Step out - a confidence makeover
Many people seem, to their friends and colleagues, confident, talented and able - yet internally they do not believe in themselves. Explore what confidence means for you, find the evidence for self belief and learn how to behave more confidently in a variety of social or work-related settings.
