Available as Additional Modules or as stand alone Half-day Courses
Over the years, I’ve been asked by clients and employers to deliver sessions on a wide range of topics connected to leadership, communication, and change.
The short courses and modules below all emerged from real requests — they reflect recurring challenges that organisations face, and the practical, engaging ways I’ve helped address them.
While the focus of my work remains on my core programme (From Aspiring to Inspiring), these sessions are available as standalone workshops or as add-ons to From Aspiring to Inspiring. Specific areas of need could be added to Team Development Days too.
If something resonates — or if you’re facing a challenge that isn’t listed here — I’d be happy to talk.
(Please note: the Presentation Skills module requires a half day with two sessions of 90 minutes, and an additional follow-up session a few days later. This allows delegates time to prepare a short presentation to deliver and receive feedback. It is priced accordingly.)
