By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
"The day passed without noticing the time, never found myself drifting away and Anne was great all day I could have sat in a training session for three days, Excellent job! :)
"Troy was flexible and enthusiastic. He delivered the content so that it was relevant and practical to our business. We are all motivated to start implementing these new strategies. The training was fantastic although now I will be very busy implementing it all. :)"
"Anne was a very engaging trainer and the content was interesting but the quality of the course could be enhanced by spending more time on applying the knowledge that we were taught into practical situations."
"Anne is very approachable and friendly and a well of information. I really enjoyed her style of humour and teaching! I enjoyed most watching my team "unravel" - there was a lot of apprehension prior to the session that their scores reflected who they are as people and I noticed some negative feelings and whispers before we had even begun. It was great to see the arms unfold due to Anne's excellent teachings and watch them gradually relax and be totally won over/captivated. I also loved learning about my peers styles and better ways to integrate/understand and collaborate with them! Anne is an asset to your organisation. Thank you Anne - Legend!!"
"I found the most useful section of the course the use of words to use and words not to use. Ann was very engaging and made the training very interesting and had a good sense of humour."
"The course was very informative I learnt some new techniques and had fun doing it"
Better Caring
"Karin has done and excellent job tailoring the course content to suit our needs. We would definitely request her for future training sessions as her understanding of our roles and business increases with each session."

When you want a tailored learning experience targeting exactly what you want without bringing everyone physically together, the best choice is a Live Online Class run by PDT.
We tailor the content and activities to be specific to your current needs and the needs of the people and run the course in our usual activity-based workshop style training, however, the participants can all be offsite, or some can be in the room with others offsite.
Unless you have a preferred tools we use 'Zoom for Education' that includes enhanced collaboration features such as One-click content sharing, real-time co-annotation (people can work together in activity files), and digital whiteboarding, we also include things like live polls and group chats so you virtually have the same collaborative learning experience of attending a course in a room with other people.
We have delivered these 100's (if not 1000's) of times, and get great outcomes. We achieve great outcomes because we keep our learner centric approach - just because it’s delivered through a screen to some or all participants doesn’t mean it needs to be less tailored or less personalised.
You still have an expert trainer who talks to you prior to the session and tailors the delivery to use your terminology, ensure activities are relevant and directly applicable and ensures an engaging learning experience that provide people with skills and techniques they can apply the very next day.
A hybrid class is with some people connecting online, and some people physically together in the same room.
We provide the Training Management Centre which is an information hub before, during and after training.

At the completion of training participants are encouraged to create an action plan, and invite an accountability buddy via their Orgmenta App.
In your Training Management Centre you have transparency to the action plans so you can see what people are going to do differently.
Our systems and people make it easy to identify how you’ll be able to measure impacts,
and then report on the success in the weeks or months after training.
It’s surprisingly easy to make it so that your system can automatically be up to date with all the training record details you need.
