Pete is up at Lancaster University today delivering our new Communicate with Confidence course. This mezze of sessions enables the delegates to pick & choose ’small plates’ of coaching. Including:
• Working on active listening in 1:1 sessions
• Presenting with confidence
• Physical and vocal presence
• Skills in starting conversations at conferences and networking events
• Practice at making interventions and contributing in meetings
The university is also undergoing some exciting new building rennovations so voice work is really being put the test with the distant sound of drilling!
A good time had by all!

We’re now in full swing with our new client Northamptonshire County Council, having done our second session there yesterday. The brief is to deliver masterclasses in Managing Change for 50 senior managers from all areas of the council.
We really enjoyed the course yesterday – a lively day, full of laughter and energetic contributions. We looked in practice at the transition curve of feelings and responses we all go through when we encounter change – happiness and anxiety to denial and acceptance. The day successfully enabled managers to explore ways of recognising responses to change in themselves and those they manage. And provided an opportunity to identify difficulties that can occur when people get stuck in patterns of behaviour. How can managers help their staff to unpick these patterns?
Thanks to all those who attended – we look forward to the next session!

Following our great day at the University of Nottingham conference last, we wanted to share some of the fantastic responses from the attendees.
Comments included “I would recommend this event to others, it reinforces the high quality of support available at the University of Nottingham!” and “Excellent conference, exceeded expectations!”.
88% of the attendees said the event lived up to their expectations and 90% would recommend the event to others.
Great stuff! It was a pleasure!
