Our Approach

We will propose a program tailored your organisation's needs. This could range from making slight adjustments to one of our pre-existing programs, to creating a bespoke solution from scratch.

Based on the information we discussed in the discovery phase we will provide you with a detailed proposal including course content, our training methodology, presenter details and fees.

We continue to work with you to co-design specific module content and deliver the program according to schedule at a time and a place that suits you.

We provide participants with an interactive, practical, 'hands-on' training experience that encourages participation in a supportive adult-learning environment.

We provide participants with tools and techniques that they can take back into the workplace and implement immediately.

Our customised courses include debriefing, feedback and reflection to consolidate learning and provide continual feedback to facilitators.

We engage in continuous improvement, incorporating your feedback into course content.

We provide post-program evaluation to meet your requirements.

We offer further suggestions to improve the impact of learning experiences, often complemented by coaching and mentoring approaches that continue long after the actual course has finished.

  • As organiser and participant in the Masterclass that was delivered in-house by David to SA Health in October and November 2021, I can strongly recommend this trainer, package, and format to other agencies looking to improve their online communications. Particularly those agencies striving to improve connections with external and internal readers to elicit positive responses, and to streamline internal email communications and editing processes for greater productivity. David was extremely flexible in accommodating the practical constraints and competing demands of participants and developed a training package consisting of two three-hour sessions held one a week apart. The content of the Masterclass was tailored to address the specific needs and learning objectives of participants.
