Focused Learning Sessions

If you feel that your business or your employees will benefit from a business mentor we will work in one way, driven by your current challenges. If you want to learn, or want them to learn, about a particular business skill or family of skills and how to acquire them quickly then focused learning sessions might be an effective answer. These will teach you the theory behind the skill and then offer you an opportunity to apply this in your own situation. These are developed on the basis of your past experience and your aspirations for the future.

The advantages of working like this include:

For the employer

1. Your employee gets individual, relevant attention.

2. This is cost and time effective.

3. Skills are developed, embedded, and practiced as part of the process using current business situations.

For the employee

1. They gain a personal tutor to help them develop the skills they need and then help to practice them.

2. They can ask questions and explore the answers in a confidential setting.

3. They go way with a plan to practice their learning and then review it in
order to refine it. This further embeds the learning.

These focussed sessions may include:
