useful stuff

I’ll be updating and adding to this page from time to time, so please take another look when you’re visiting my website again.

At the moment, feel free to read or download the following:

  • “Making an exhibition of yourself” Exhibition article (PDF file)
    This is a copy of an article I wrote for The Training Journal magazine, based on my experiences of organising and manning an exhibition stand on a number of occasions. If you’re considering something similar as part of your own marketing plan, you may find some of my hints and tips (learnt the hard way!) useful reading.
  • Overcoming Communication Issues in the workplace
    How much of your time (and company money) is spent sorting out communication / interpersonal issues, rather than achieving business goals and objectives?
    How often are those about you in disagreement with colleagues, resulting in unnecessary conflict?
    Do you ever become frustrated with a lack of effective communication within your organisation? If these are familiar issues, I can help you to solve them with the Strength Deployment Inventory®. . Read this page for more information on how I use the SDI (Word document).
  • The Trainer’s 3-minute health check Questionnaire
    A fun way of checking your level of knowledge. skills and confidence levels!
  • Bite-size snippets for Learning & Development professional
    Some extracts from my past newsletters, related to training needs analysis, design, delivery and evaluation. Useful stuff for trainers (PDF document)
  • ‘Mentoring:  Developing effective organisational schemes’
    If you are considering setting up a mentoring scheme in your organisation, you may find this booklet useful as a reference guide.  It covers topics such as ‘Who can be a mentor?’, ‘The cost of mentoring’, Factors impacting on the success of mentoring’, ‘Evaluating a mentoring scheme’ and  ’Twelve steps to setting up a mentoring scheme’.

I wrote this booklet for People in Aid, a global network of development and humanitarian assistance agencies, who act as an information exchange on good human resources and people management practice.  You can buy it from their website:  www.peopleinaid.org (go to resources, then publications), at a cost of £10.00 to non-members, £7.50 to members.  I should point out that I make no profit from these sales - all money goes to support the work of People in Aid.  Click here to see the full contents page:  Contents page of Mentoring booklet for People in Aid
