Malcolm delivered an excellent training session, he embodied all he taught and you could clearly tell he enjoyed delivering it, which made the sessions at lot more enjoyable for us. Our group was small which suited me great as it gave plenty of time for interaction and involvement to avoid ‘death by PowerPoint’ but also allowed me to see others opinions and ideas and how they varied from mine. Despite the fact that the other delegate and myself were inherently different and from different backgrounds, Malcolm was able to personalise our learning experience by making the content relatable to our learning styles and relevant to our working environments.

Thanks for a great sessions Malcolm and PTP!

I have really enjoyed working with Malcolm today. His depth and breadth of understanding and knowledge in this area was refreshing. Malcolm gave me hints and tips on various situations using examples from his own experiences that I could relate to.

Attended virtual course:

I found this course extremely interesting and enlightening. The trainer Di was enthusiastic and gave lots of little anecdotes as examples which I found useful. Di took a genuine interest in all of us who attended throughout the course, which you sometimes don’t get during training sessions, and made me feel comfortable to be able to speak to the group which can sometimes be a little nerve wracking! Even on zoom!! Since attending I have told colleagues who weren’t on the training about it, and they are keen to sign up!

Attended virtual session:

I found the session very insightful and know that lots of the information gleaned will be really helpful as I progress in my career. Candy was great at making the session relevant to everyone’s individual needs and gave lots of helpful hints and tips throughout that can be easily implemented. I found the sections around time management, delegation and stress in the workplace/coping mechanisms and techniques particularly relevant and now feel a lot more prepared to manage my Intern when she joins the company next week. The content was well planned out and easy to digest. Frequent breaks also helped me to maintain attention during the course. A great session, thanks again Candy!

Ursula was amazing I learnt so much from her and she adapted the training so that it met what we needed. Id defiantly go to her again for training. She was so friendly and welcoming I felt at ease at all times, normally on training course I feel quite anxious about talking but I didn’t at all with Ursula.

Tracey has a wealth of knowledge, and has a great delivery with explaining this knowledge. She has so many examples and so much experience, it is great to speak with her and listen to what she has to say. She is incredibly approachable and easy to talk to. Many thanks to Tracey.

/ Joe Ricciardi, Avantor / View course »

Virtual course attended:

Very useful insight into the common reasons why someone may struggle to listen properly and the potential issues this leads to. I have certainly gained a much better understanding of what I can do to improve my listening behaviours and how I can interact more effectively with others who struggle with their listening abilities.

/ Angus Mackinnon, MBDA / View course »

Attended virtual course:

I went in this course hoping to learn how to be a great listener and left feeling that I have learnt not only how to listen but more so how to build better rapport.

I also felt that I new major of what was covered, and I quickly realised how much bad habits I have pick up. The workbook will be my user guide for when I feel then need to recalibrate or brush up on my not so stronger traits.

P.E.C.A.N.S for me thought me how to ask great questions by identifying how to shape my question, meaning when to use an open question verses a close question.

When you combined P.E.C.A.N.S with (IRCA) this also make a smoother communication between the person that is talking and the person or persons that is involved it the meeting or any conversation.

This course also helps identify how good/bad you I am at listening, how to spot people who are incapable and /or unwilling to listen and several hallmarks and benefits of becoming an accomplished listener.

I would also love to thank Candy for a brilliant course delivery, you made the course so much more meaningful. Thank you also referring  of other material like https://worldofwork.io/2019/06/merrill-reid-social-personality-styles/ that explains different social styles.
