"Your "Introduction to Public Relations" seminar was highly effective and excellent value of money. I thought the standard of input and facilitation compared very favourably with some of the more expensive course I have attended. Not a moment of the day was wasted and the course moved on from topic to topic at a brisk pace. The course met my personal objectives in two ways. First, it provided reassurance that many of the PR initiatives we had already taken were on the right lines and secondly, it has given me confidence to try some new approaches that I might not have considered previously. I recommend the programme to anyone who needs either a quick update or an initiation into the world of public relations."

Other Training Provisions

Women’s Leadership

Research shows that profitable companies and successful organizations make the most of their people and enable them to realize their potential.  Women are more than half of the population of the world.  Research also shows that making optimal use of existing employees is less expensive than recruitement.  Of course utilizing talent also means brining in new people.  Currently only Norway has a similar number of women in decision making places in business to the number achieving high results at university level.  The FTSE 100 shows only 12% of women on boards in the UK. 

We provide training and consultancy to help you make the most of the women in your organization and attract and keep the top female talent.

Communications

Whether you need to communicate externally with clients or internally within your organisation you may need to acquire new skills and utilise existing ones better.  Understanding inter-personal relations, the art of communication, public relations or how to use the media enables effective strategies to be created and implemented.  These skills can be vital to prevent or redress problems and build positive relationships in the business context and in private life.

Whether for the large or small organization, making the most of the media is a highly effective way to gain profile.

Social Responsibility

In an increasingly pluralistic and diverse society, all organisations need to evaluate regularly their policies and practices in regard to equality, diversity and social inclusion.  Legislation in many countries calls for such monitoring and implementation.  Future legislation is likely to follow global trends towards greater social accountability in the workplace and areas of influence of the organization.  Indeed Kevin Roberts, CEO Worldwide, Saatchi & Saatchii who introduced the idea of lovemarks at his presentation at the Institute of Directors annual conference at the Royal Albert Hall in 2008, spoke about the need for all companies to live their ethics and not just talk about them. 

 Our master classes on diversity, equality and social responsibility ensure that you are not only fully up to date with statutory requirements, you also develop an understanding of how your organization’s mission statement and values and the way it implements them are tightly linked to commercial success.  The sessions empower your people to celebrate the diversity within your organisation and in society as a whole.

Values based leadership training

A recent conference at the European Parliament (Dec 2010) provided research and organization statements from companies such as Siemens and Unilever, that values based business is also profitable.

We provide values based leadership training for organizations wishing to be at the forefront of best practice both in terms of providing the right environment for their people, but also those who want to be more financially successful.
