ABOUT THE TRAINING

Hi everyone,

I'm looking forward to seeing you for the Briefing Skills training.

You will come away from this session with a clear idea of how to provide exactly the right conditions for team members to deliver an excellent quality of work. You will learn how to develop a culture of ownership and proactivity, resulting in improved performance.

Build an environment of ‘responsible initiative’
Understand the importance of stepping up and working at your level 
Prioritise your time to focus on what really matters strategically 
Learn to deliver clear, thorough briefings consistently
Know when to ‘coach’ and when to ‘direct’
Appreciate how to brief colleagues according to their competence and maturity
Understand the importance of clear objectives and deadlines
Check for understanding, providing space for questions and recognising incongruous nonverbal signals

See you soon!

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

FORMULA 1

BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP MANAGER

Genuinely the most useful training session I have been on!

EBAY

ADVERTISING SOLUTIONS MANAGER

That’s easily the best course I’ve been on in 9 years at eBay. A great combo of practical/applicable advice, and so well presented. Looked like there was a lot of work put into a custom course, and I thought it was totally worth it.

BRITISH FASHION COUNCIL

MARKETING MANAGER

I just wanted to say thank you so much for everything. You really are making such a difference to us all.
