Corporate Solutions:

We provide support, training and consultancy for employers, individual members of staff, or small groups.
The use of psychological techniques as a learning and programming tool in the work environment will give your company and edge over the competition. These techniques are used by nearly every major corporation in the world today. We believe that a healthy, motivated and well informed staff can make a successful company into a really successful enterprise.

Major UK companies such as British Gas, BT, Virgin, Bupa, and Ladbrokes have all engaged in psychological training of their staff. The diversity of those learning about these processes is evidence that the techniques can be used by those in any industry – small businesses and multinational organisations, private and public sector as well as self employed individuals

If you want something different for your staff – training that is valuable and long-lasting – then please read through the information below and then go to the ‘Contact Us’ section for my contact details.
N.B. Training can be provided anywhere in N. Ireland, with venues to suit your budget and specifications

• Sales/ Communications Development
• Smoking Cessation
• Stress Management
• Motivational/ Goal-setting Training

Sales/ Communications Development:
This workshop is designed to equip your team with the ability to present themselves and their sales proposals in the best possible light. They will develop their skills around the areas of motivation, decision-making, questioning & listening, confidence and effective communication. It is a practical, interactive day that is built upon many years of research on sales effectiveness – what works and what doesn’t. The result of this is a series of techniques that can be easily adapted easily to fit all corporate situations. It is designed to work in situations where an effective ongoing working relationship is paramount – and is based on the premise that if you work hard on establishing good rapport and working relationships then selling and closing are easy. Your team will be able to quickly and more effectively, close with integrity their existing and potential new clients, using cutting edge psychological and communication skills. Employers worldwide already see the benefit in developing interpersonal skills with emotional intelligence training including principles that recognise and use powerful language patterns to empower.  It also includes training to make the most of the non-verbal sides of communication – how to fine tune your senses and be more sensitive to others in order to achieve successful outcomes. Psychological techniques can change long term behavioural patterns - in the workplace, colleagues understand each other better and are more equipped to respond adequately to each others’ and customers’ needs and desires.  Personal relationships develop a sense of meaningful dialogue and a new kind of perception.  It is universially acknowledged that well functioning relationships are vital to the success of any business.

Motivational/ Goal-setting Training:
This workshop is designed help your staff become more motivated, goal orientated and efficient in their work. Through a series of exercises and talks they will learn new patterns of behaviour, thought processes and develop their creativity and productivity.
Once this new learning is in place, your staff will begin to work towards their goals habitually, and with ease. This is a very popular and valuable workshop and also serves as a very effective team building day. The overall performance of the team will improve as your organisation aligns the management and development of their people to achieve their strategic and operational objectives.

Stress Management:
The extremely fast pace of the modern workplace means that the ability to manage your workload, and the associated stress, is critical for all levels of business. Stress is the single biggest cause of absenteeism in the workplace, and it has long term consequences for the mental and physical health of sufferers. Furthermore it can put unnecessary strain on their relationships with their partner, family and friends. Days missed at work because of stress related conditions have long-term implications for the profitability and productivity of a business. This programme will teach employees a range of strategies and techniques to help them prioritize the demands on their time and transform any negative stress and anxiety into positive energy and drive. This workshop is interactive and profoundly relaxing, as self-hypnosis techniques are taught as part of the course. These workshops are exclusive, pragmatic, and above all effective. All of these techniques lead to a healthier working environment.  All of this means increased productivity and profitability.

Smoking Cessation:
If you are interested in helping your workforce to become healthier and more productive, I can deliver group or individual smoking cessation sessions on site. The health of employees needs to be seen as a strategic issue. It is important for employers to understand that healthy employees are necessary for a healthy business. Because smoking is essentially a behaviour that has become a part of a smoker's life, the most successful programs focus on behaviour modification to achieve long-term success. We offer a very positive behaviour modification program, that doesn’t focus on the negative. We start from the smoker's perspective and we walk with them through the whole process. We provide on-going support for your employees who will benefit from knowing that others in their company are going through the same thing.

Bespoke Workshops/ Individual Consultations:
If you haven’t, by now, identified a workshop that you feel suits your needs, then you will be pleased to know that tailor made solutions are available for specific needs.
Utilising a combination of all these psychological techniques will lead to greater confidence and presence, maximising you ability to communicate more concisely, identify and be clear about what really matters to you and create compelling goals. For example; a bespoke workshop could be designed to achieve the following objectives:

• Enhanced confidence and motivation - Maximise your presence in business situations.  Remain self assured during critical negotiations
• Use empowering and influential language skills - Clearly posit your views and ideas with creativity and flair.  Develop compelling and persuasive communications and sales skills.
