Summer 2010 Taster Day - Thank You!
Hello Everyone!
We're really pleased with the response from this Summer's Taster Day. 92% of the delegates rated both our trainers and the standard of the lunch as 'very good' or 'excellent'. We received many thanks and requests for further information and we're looking forward to working in partnership with our new clients, developing their people and teams.
The taster day focused on 'leading people through change, motivating and engaging them' and was organised in response to conversations and requests from clients over the past few months. Obviously, the country has suffered economic difficulties and your team may have faced many challenges through this period, such as redundancies, loss of trust and low morale. Our special FREE event addressed this sitiation by looking at how people are affected by change, where they might be on the change curve and how they can be re-engaged. We kick-started the day with bacon sandwiches, or vegetarian alternatives and a hot drink followed by a presentation that looked at change and how we can ensure that our main drivers of enagagement - our line managers - are given the skills to motivate their teams. To bring the morning's learning to life, we walked upto the woods in the sunshine to run the experiential activities that brought out the learning points from the earlier theory. One delegate wrote that she "found the 'managers/supervisors/workers' activity the best" and that the learning was transferable for the members she wanted to train.
Lunch was our usual delicious hot two-course farmhouse fayre - freshly prepared using local ingredients by our on-site chef. "Local is clearly better" wrote on one of guests on his evaluation form who rated the lunch as excellent. Thank you - our chef will be very pleased!! Learn what others think of her food.
In the afternoon we gave delegates further opportunity to experience the activities and then review the learning points, applying these back to the workplace. We also unveiled a brand new activity that our current clients have never attempted before. We have a business goal of creating three new activities a year, so frequent visitors to Focus - for workshops or Taster Days - will always find the learning fresh and challenging!
Here are a few photos from the day. If you would like to see some of the others, please feel free to drop us a note on info@focus-training.net and we'll forward these on. We can also send details of some of the short courses offered by Focus to help you re-engage and motivate your people and teams once change has occurred. Thanks to everyone who attended and helped to make the day such a success! We hope you can take the learning back to work and apply it with your teams, and of course we'd be delighted to support your future training needs. You can give us a call on 01254 826 222 to discuss.
