Training approach
Designed for leaders and practitioners, Charlie Pownall’s in-house training programmes and workshops are customised to each client’s specific learning objectives and requirements, and are designed to be informative, practical, involving and memorable.
Charlie’s workshops are built on the following principles:
- Customised. Each workshop is developed in line with agreed learning goals, with content, case studies and examples drawn from your industry/category and region/country.
- Personalised. All participants are given direct feedback as individuals and/or groups based on their own requirements and performance.
- Objective. While participants are provided with structured frameworks and methodologies, an open exchange of ideas is strongly encouraged.
- Participatory. Anecdotes, discussions and exercises make each course practical, involving and memorable.
- Flexible. A modular and extensible training curriculum, in a format (public, custom, e-learning) that suits your requirements and budget.
During the workshop participants are provided with a workbook and toolkit, the latter which typically contains a selection of relevant frameworks, checklists and forms.
The presentation deck is shared with participants as a pdf file after the workshop concludes.
