Thinking your presentations at work could be more engaging?
Wondering if your message is really getting through in meetings / briefings / workshops?
Considering more effective ways to train peers / clients / students?
Actionable essentials of good teaching, training and facilitation for all
Why Checking for Understanding?
I’ve seen all the common mistakes people make when convening a meeting, briefing, putting together a presentation or training session on a new topic or skill for their peers or clients.
The aim of the gathering isn’t clear, the group are completely silent when called upon, time runs out…
The essentials of great communication and training are at everyone's fingertips, we just might not know it yet.
That’s why I founded ‘Checking for Understanding’. I’m passionate about using my skills and experience to upskill people who are experts in their craft with the specific, concrete, actionable essentials of good teaching and training so others become experts too.
If you think I can help you or your team, I’d love to talk.
