Courses and Workshops for TeachersThe Bringing the Best out in Boys course explores what motivates and de-motivates boys and gives teachers practical communication tools to improve boys’ performance. It provides strategies that reduce time spent managing difficult behaviour, improve cooperation in the classroom and create a positive learning environment. An INSET day covers:
The course is suitable for teachers, teacher managers, support assistants and lunchtime staff. A condensed version can be delivered as a twilight session. 'This is one of the best courses I have been on. Instead of dwelling on theory you’ve given us solutions we can go back and apply in the classroom.' Joy Andrews, Assistant Principal 'Working with you has really opened our eyes and changed our mindset. As a school we are now more aware and understanding of boys’ needs and have implemented various strategies to ensure boys are not disadvantaged in the school environment.' Marguerite Asquith, Headteacher | top of page | Courses and Workshops for Parents and CarersLucinda offers a two-hour evening that gives insights into how boys view the world and advice on communication strategies to use at home. It covers the same principles as the workshop for teachers and so encourages a consistent approach between home and school. This workshop can be extended to go into more depth and cover areas such as emotional literacy. Such a course could be particularly valuable for care workers and foster carers. 'That was fantastic – thank you. I had felt we were reaching crisis. Tonight I have really looked at my behaviour and want to go home and give him a hug and try to let him know I do accept him.' Parent '… two really impressive and engaging presentations. The fact that our staff are not only still talking about the strategies, but smiling broadly when one is trialled and actually works, says it all better than I can, as did the parents' warm response.' Gillian James, Headteacher | top of page | Courses and Workshops for Youth WorkersThis workshop explores how to bring out the best in boys in a club, youth centre or the community. It covers:

The impact of the day cannot be under-estimated - a year on it still informs our daily interaction ... and has made an immense impact on our belief that we can actually make a difference.'

These topics can be run as a one-day course or tailored to your needs.
Effective Classroom Communication This course covers communication skills that set up a productive learning environment, get students’ co-operation, convey ideas in an interesting way, improve participation and increase self-esteem. By the end of the programme staff will have additional tools to deal with the day-to-day issues facing them as educators. | top of page | Some people are natural leaders; others find it hard to access their leadership qualities. We work with people to draw out their unique leadership style, show them how to connect with their own deeply held knowledge and value systems, and use these as a foundation to inspire others. | top of page | The most effective presentations are those in which the presenter talks simply and clearly from the heart, using whatever technology best supports his or her message. We show people how to be at their best in front of a group, and give them practical tools that help them use their individual strengths and the chosen technology to best effect. | top of page | Frustrations at work occur when it seems impossible to get ideas across to colleagues. This course shows how to communicate in a way that increases cooperation and understanding. It covers the principles of effective communication, how to put forward views constructively, hearing and understanding another's viewpoint, and how to get others’ buy-in so that things actually get done. | top of page | Stress in the workplace has been identified as a cause of much absence and long-term ill health. This course explores what triggers stress and how to manage it. We offer a number of strategies including time management, assertive communication, understanding personal needs and relaxation techniques. | top of page | We work with teams to clarify common objectives, build trust in one another, and create understanding and open communication. The team is then able to focus on achieving the objective and avoid those interpersonal difficulties that can undermine a team. | top of page | |
