Workshops for cohorts of up to 50 (ideal) or 100+ student seminars:

Goals, Aims & Ambitions - two and a half hour workshop for Yrs 6-13 aimed at those in transition, e.g. to secondary, into GCSE, into A Level and into Higher Education

6S Study Skills - aimed at Yrs 9-13 and beyond; originally comprising a full day with delivery over 2, 3, 4 or 5 sessions and over one to five days, this is now re-structured to be delivered in two and a half hours with a focus on simple, powerful and easy to use techniques supported by the regular review process, tips and hints for better exam grades. Skills include, for example, Mind Mapping, Mnemonics, Roman Room, Story and Journey techniques.


Creative Approaches to Learning - one and a half and two and a half hour events aimed at Primary School pupils with content suitable for Yrs 3&4 and Yrs 5&6 respectively; can be delivered as inset days with older pupils in the morning (preferred). These courses offer a vivid, lively and multi-sensory learning experience that engages with pupils of all abilities and learning styles.

Parents and Exam Stress Busting - an informative and at times amusing look at how parents can support their children during exam time.  Tailored to work with the schools in delivering the rules for students at Exam Time, this course lasts up to an hour with Q&A and provides invaluable information about making sure sleep, good food, fitness, being there with a shoulder to cry on, providing a suitable study area for revision and homework, and finally, encouraging them to learn skills like Mind Maps and Roman Room techniques that are designed to enhance the chance of exam success.  The skills come ready to share when we deliver our 6S Study Skills - see above.

Goals for Adults - a powerful and motivational life skill now adapted for teachers, senior students, anyone in a training environment and smaller businesses, Goals for Adults helps those at a crossroads, perhaps uncertain of their direction or seeking affirmation of their purpose in life to raise aspirations, set expectations and attain goals.

On the basis that Thoughts Become Things, this course is a must for anyone with dreams and imagination and can be targeted at personal as well as mutual or team goals.

Also, if you think you can, or if you think you can't, you are probably right - Henry Ford. The emphasis on positive thinking and the science supporting this simple philosophy is a compelling reason for running these courses.
