Delivery

Run as six, full-day sessions with time between each session for the content to be practised and embedded.

Whilst sessions are formulated to cover the content in a structured fashion, a flexible approach adapts each session to take into account the individual needs of the delegates and their businesses. Whilst we encourage delegates to undertake all 6 modules, each module can be booked separately.

Days normally start at 9am with a half hour lunch break and finish at 3.30pm with comfort breaks as needed.

During each session delegates are encouraged to raise any needs or challenges they would like to be covered.  Those areas that are not covered in the set days are also specifically addressed on this final day.

Each session also includes activity-based learning.

Steve Favell

“I believe learning is best taken onboard by delegates when they have an understanding of the psychology that sits behind why techniques work and how we differ from each other. The course features a lot of psychology which, I have found, really engages participants and gives delegates a real understanding of how to interact with others. We can’t change other people but, we can learn to change what we do to get the responses from others that we would like.”          

In the 70’s, at the same time as being in high demand as an accomplished musician, Steve Favell developed what became one of the County’s most successful music retail, wholesale companies. Steve went on to build, train and mentor a number of the UK’s most successful national sales teams.
