Greetings one and all,
I recently had the most wonderful of training days with staff from Stoke on Trent City Council’s Family Hubs. The learners were clearly motivated to learn and threw themselves into the various activities that I created for them. Activities that reflected and reinforced the importance of their job roles, emotional intelligence, keeping an eye on stress levels and open communication.
I loved every single minute of the day with the troops. Wonderful professionals making a difference to families across Stoke on Trent.
I was asked to create a bespoke training day that would be enjoyable, entertaining and educational. I think I hit all of those elements and more. We laughed, we learned and we played my brand-new bespoke board-game! Which took me absolutely ages to create! But hey, hard work pays - when you put the work in – you get the sort of feedback that I’m about to share with you:
1. “Spectacular presenting! Informative and engaging!”
2. “Fantastic, engaging and informative session that I thoroughly enjoyed. What a GREAT way to end the week!”
