Training
My training style is interactive and informal, with much use of exercises, group work and discussion. I always tailor my training sessions to suit the people I am working with.
In these times of coronavirus, all my training can be adapted for online delivery. Virtual training can be delivered using Zoom, Skype, Google Meet, or another platform to suit your organisation's set-up.
With many years' practical experience I can speak with accuracy and authority. As a professional trainer I receive excellent feedback from participants.
Fish Quay Consulting can deliver training on many subjects. This is not a comprehensive list - I can also design bespoke training courses to meet your needs. All my training can be provided in a group or on a one to one basis.
My most popular courses are:
- Minute taking
- Time management
- Lone working
- Public speaking
Other topics include:
- Chairing meetings
- Supporting and supervising staff
- Getting ready to fundraise
- Presentation skills
- Project planning and budgeting
- Communications
- Working with volunteers. This can be broken down into sessions such as Welcoming volunteers; Recruitment & retention; Supporting and supervising volunteers; Four steps to success in engaging volunteers; Making volunteer adverts work; Microvolunteering; Dealing with problems; Creating volunteer roles; Reviewing your volunteering
Training can be relevant for anyone involved in an organisation. Consequently I am happy to deliver training to anyone, including volunteers, operational staff, senior management, board members and trustees.
