Training
"People don't appreciate great training until they are stuck in terrible training."
- Cam Bestwick, Principal, Swick Learning
No sugar hits, just good training.
Our training programs aren't designed for short-term thrills or instant praise. We don't optimise for the post-session evaluation survey.
We want our training to be a pivotal moment for participants for decades to come. We want to give them the confidence and the tools to make hard changes.
Training for Learners
Our workshops for learners are typically 1-2 hours and skills-focused. The workshops provide learners with an anchoring conceptual framework to aid their sensemaking, a series of practical techniques to get started, and may opt-in to receiving four optimally spaced emails containing summary notes from the session. ​​​The topics are evolving with learner and buyer feedback, but have included:
​
-
Personal knowledge management ​
-
Note-making techniques
-
Time and energy management
-
Procrastination-busting
-
Workplace expectations
-
Hidden curriculum of grad jobs

Facilitation
We facilitate workshops and planning days that get the best contributions from your people. Regardless of the strategy or plan you're creating — if it is important that your people feel ownership of it, so they can use it, live it, follow it, or care about it, giving them a real opportunity to contribute is worth the investment.
Need customised training? We love a challenge!
Some of our best training was created in response to requests for learning experiences that didn't exist yet. If you are struggling to source good training, we would love to help you by creating, or finding it through our extensive network of subject-matter experts. ​​
