Personal Skills Development Courses

Networking for Success
Course code: BS0027

Since the 1980’s we are all now effectively ‘self employed’ This means we can no longer depend on others to create our job security or career advancement; It’s down to us.

We live in a world of mass redundancy, downsizing, consolidation that has created a culture of self-employment and the growth of freelance consultants. This workshop encourages us to consider networking as a pro-active activity rather than simply ‘leaning on a bar’





Managing Stress in the Workplace
Course code: BS0028

Stress caused by work is now the second biggest occupational health problem in the UK after back problems. An estimated half a million employees say they're experiencing problems such as anxiety and depression leading to conflict at work, mistakes and lost productivity.

Together we make it work
Course code: PD0031
What is it that makes some people able to deal effectively with other people, while others find it difficult and stressful?

Dealing with Difficult People

Course code: PD0008

All of us dread the situation where we are dealing with someone who is difficult. It may be a one off situation, or it may be a situation at work
where we are faced with the same difficult person day after day. None of us likes dealing with these situations and unfortunately we tend to revert to the primal response of fight or flight, neither of which is particularly useful in resolving the situation



Negotiation Skills

Course code: PD0007

A half or full day devoted to getting the best deal.  A practical workshop that clearly illustrates the benefits of learning the skills of negotiation. An essential skill for anyone in business today.
