I once asked a panel of Deans of MBA programmes why they focused so much on strategy and finance and not so much on people. The response from Roger Martin, then Dean of the Rotman School of Management, was "we do the easy stuff."

It is focused on people and how you create trust-based organisations where people can truly fulfil their potential.

We have all been there. We have attended conferences with one ‘death-by-PowerPoint’ presentation after another and wondered if there was another way. The good news is that there is. There are techniques to use the strength of PowerPoint (visual reinforcement) without making it a bland reading of bullet points. This course does not teach PowerPoint features, but instead how to use your slides in a more engaging way so that your presentation is memorable and effective.

This two-hour time management workshop explores how to manage your goals and long-term plans alongside responding to day-to-day demands.

This one-day Coaching Fundamentals programme will enable you to distinguish coaching from mentoring and other leader behaviours.

During the day, you will not only practice doing that but also get to experience it as a coachee and observer.
