There are 19 (Don’t you just love an odd number?) Mini Masterclasses which cover essential skills for the working world. Whilst the subject matter differs, they all have these essential components.
They are:
- 120 minutes
- Interactive
- Based in the real world and on tried and tested models of behaviour
- Pacey and energetic
- F2F or virtual and definitely Power Point free zones
- Like LEGO in that they can be built together to form something new and original
Mix and Match
There are so many ways to use our 19 Mini Masterclasses. Each one focuses on a different behaviour skill which is absolutely essential and useful in the workplace.
Typically, our clients use our comprehensive menu of Mini Masterclasses in 3 ways:
Stand-alone
As training offerings for employees and managers as part of an ongoing programme of development
The Manager’s Toolkit
By bringing together 7 of the essential skills and behaviours of effective management a cohort of learners can share and learn together to become better managers
The Learning Journey
This is a carefully selected series, based on the specific learning needs of your cohort, run over 6 months, with small group learning meetings or Action Learning Sets, between each Mini Masterclass.
It is the most powerful way to reinforce and embed the learning from each session and share successes and failures as participant’s work with and implement the tools and techniques learned.
