Building the Price of Carbon into Decision Making
The Stern report recommends carbon pricing as an important market tool to reduce carbon emissions. Putting a price to carbon allows organisations to incorporate carbon emissions in cost benefit analysis and impact assessment. This course explains the key principles behind carbon pricing and demonstrates with practical examples how it can be incorporated into decision making.
Carbon Footprint Masterclass
An intensive course introducing the concept of carbon accounting, why it is powerful and how it should be undertaken using the latest footprinting methodologies. Includes coverage of GHG Reporting Protocol, ISO 14064 and PAS 2050. Delegates have the opportunity to undertake sample footprint calculations during the training.
Change Management
Change happens - from small shifts to large cultural upheavals - and few like it. By understanding change management, your key people can manage and support their teams through the transition process.
This course introduces a range of change management principles and techniques, including planning an implementation. It asks participants, based on their own experiences, to consider the human aspect, the pace and impact of change, and issues around whether it is voluntary or imposed. Participants can then move toward change in the most positive way.
Delegating Effectively
How to identify what motivates your staff and how to put it into practice once identified; then integrate what to delegate and how to do it effectively.
Ecological Footprint Masterclass
A detailed course explaining the ecological footprint methodology and its underlying concepts. Demonstrates how the methodology can be applied at organisational or regional levels. The course is best suited to delegates wishing to use a more holistic sustainability indicator.
Emotional Intelligence
“Emotional intelligence is the ability to sense, understand, and effectively apply the power and acumen of emotions as a source of human energy, information, connection and influence.”
Robert Cooper and Ayman Sawaf
First Line Management
It is essential that the first steps taken in management are the right ones. Patterns develop that can shape the rest of a new manager’s career. That’s why it’s crucial that new managers establish a positive and successful role model to emulate. If bad habits become ingrained they are increasingly difficult to change.
Getting Results from Inspirational Leaders
This powerful and comprehensive three-day leadership programme is a compelling blend of theory and practice that enables participants to reflect and act upon:
What they believe about themselves as leaders and managers
What they may wish to do differently
What’s critical to those they support
Influencing Skills
This intensive course has been adapted from our highly successful programme. It introduces participants to the foundation elements of Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP). It provides participants with the key tools and ideas from a model for influencing, that are transforming the way businesses and business leaders communicate throughout the world. As a result they will be able to be more flexible and more effective when influencing others. This course draws from the knowledge, skills and philosophy of Neuro Linguistic Programming.
Motivating Effectively
How to identify what motivates your staff and how to put it into practice once identified; then integrate what to delegate and how to do it effectively.
Musikscool

Performance Management
Managing the performance of others requires a range of organisational and people skills to be used within a clear structure for reviewing and previewing how an individual performs. This course will develop managers so that they feel confident in addressing both good and poor staff performance. Participants will develop strategies and techniques so that they never have to find extra time for performance management. They will also look at how developing staff can actually give them more time and increase business performance
Sales Leadership
To enable sales leaders to create a sales culture within their business by harnessing the efforts of the team and achieving business results.
Sales Management
The workshop moves away from the conventional values in sales management techniques to strategic and organisational competencies to maximise sales performance.
The Authentic Communicator
The key to rebuilding relationships, improving morale and job satisfaction is rethinking the way in which we communicate, and putting more meaning back into these transactions. Authentic communication is a style which can be learnt, and this one day course aims to equip you with the essentials.
The Successful Virtual Meeting
The course is designed to create learning through doing, and as such runs as a series of mini meetings to cover the ground, giving us parallel learning of the content as well as generating individual specific feedback on what people do well in this field and what needs to be improved.
Understanding Product Carbon Footprinting
With the advent of PAS2050 - the first attempt by a major institute to provide a product footprinting standard - organisations are increasingly asking us how they can undertake these complex analyses effectively. This course is aimed at organisations interested in commissioning a footprint study - but who also want to understand the risks of such a venture before committing precious resources.
