It’s a cold morning in February 2010. Martina, a shy 26 year old Assistant Brand Manager from an international cosmetic company and Peter, a 49 year old Assistant Chief Constable are about to meet. With 3 other delegates they are attending a unique and powerful workshop could change their lives.
Fast forward two months to April. Martina is now a Brand Manager. Peter has been appointed Deputy Chief Constable of a large Regional Constabulary. What was the course and how did it have such a powerful impact?
Martina and Peter attended an Intensive Presentation and Influencing Workshop run by John Gotting from PeopleFocus.co.uk. But this is no ordinary course, nor is John an ordinary coach. As HR Director at Estee Lauder, John was a weak presenter and only ‘cracked it’ after 9 years and 5 courses. Why? Because none of the training was truly personalised to his style and needs.
When he set up his own business, recognising that personality massively influences confidence and presentation style, he created a unique course that delivers in one day what most advanced courses achieve in two. He kept numbers very small, gave ‘en-route’ feedback and used the Myers-Briggs™ personality questionnaire so that his coaching was totally personalised to each individual.
So whilst Martina and Peter had different goals, personalities and styles both took big strides forward. Martina enhanced her confidence so she was able to engage her audience and comfortably handle questions at the Conference she presented at a week after the course. Peter learned to present in a more impactful and concise way and improved his promotion board interview answers (‘micro-presentations’), to give personalised practical examples to illustrate his skills.
In 18 years John has helped hundreds of people from all levels and disciplines, from Elizabeth Arden to NHS Direct, to Walt Disney and The ‘Met’ Police. His corporate HR experience with Colgate Palmolive, Estee Lauder and Heron International really help him to understand what companies need. In executive coaching, in team building and in ‘open’ presentation training he underpins everything he does with a deep understanding of personality preferences to help each person maximise their individual potential.
This powerful workshop runs twice a month at Old Windsor, off the M25, J 13. At £495 plus VAT it’s not cheap, but it will typically save up to £300 on a two day course and save a day ‘off the job’. With 4 to 5 delegates it’s personalised, cost effective and very inspirational. See flyer for details.
