Flying Facilitators
We have designed a series of interactive talks and truncated seminars for the purpose of animating internal meetings at your offices. The running theme in them all is to make those assembled THINK, look at the world from a different angle and challenge their current perceptions.
The seminars can be broken down into four or five sections of 15 minutes each to insert into your day-long meeting, or they can be delivered as a two or three hour session.
Body Language for Business
Become a reader of important non-verbal signals and understand what’s really on people’s minds.
Brand You
Should you dress to suit your surroundings? Cool cutting edge urban offices probably equal sharp contemporary dressing, but if your surroundings are maybe even a little shabby, this should not affect good grooming.
Creating Stories
The spoken word and the sharing of stories are central to human development. We are fine tuned to understand and repeat tales. The nub is that great myths spread like wildfire. Learn how to communicate through stories and control the legends you start.

Based on Edward de Bono’s Six Hat Thinking and the Po Technique, each team is given ‘basic training’ in how to channel their creative thinking processes, how to efficiently solve problems and generate a mass of ideas.
