LEARNING APPLICATION TOOLS

Start Stop Continue (SSC)

After the programme we get the delegates to fill out an SSC form, this helps them focus on one learning objective and usually is the basis of the post-training plan.

Coaching

We conduct individual or focused group sessions where the delegates can focus on how they can leverage their strengths to be more effective in a given situation.

Recognition Emails™

To motivate participants, we often send out personalised recognition emails acknowledging and thanking them for their contribution in the programme.

Practice Tasks

Practice tasks allow the delegates to hone their skills in a safe and private environment.

Retention Tools

To help remember all of the content shared, we create retention tools that carry a synopsis of the key topics. These can later be printed and placed at their workstations.
