Light Bites Learning©

Take a day's conventional training course and compress it into a dynamic, short session filled with useful tools and techniques!

You can ‘pick and mix’ from over 20 different off the rack short-sessions (we have created a further 50 tailor-made sessions), covering areas such as personal development, management development, project management and finance.

These face-to-face sessions succeed because:

People love them, as they don’t disrupt their entire working day
They are economical
Performance is enhanced in both the short and long term
It’s very easy for an organisation to initiate, and can complement other training projects
They create an appetite for further learning

How it works

You can pick from a variety of courses, which can be delivered ‘off the shelf’ or customised for your organisation. They can be delivered anytime and anywhere, with up to three sessions a day. The sessions range from 90 minutes to three hours in length, and you can have up to 20 delegates attend a session.

Light Bites Learning© is a frugal option as it enables you to train 60 people a day for the normal cost of just eight – and dramatically reduces the opportunity costs.

Why it works

You want your staff to learn some new skills and learn them quickly, but you may not be able to release them for a whole day, or you may want them to get some polish for skills they already have. You may want them to get a focused look at one very specific area of interpersonal skills. These sessions work because:

It’s a memorable snack; enough of a taste to get your people thinking and seeing things in new ways and trying out some new techniques
The sessions are entertaining, informative and in a very useful format. These sessions focus on very specific issues such as difficult meetings, effective email communication, beyond assertiveness, presenting to clinch the deal, etc
Over 97% of participants who have attended our sessions said they will apply what they’ve learnt
You can expect your people to come away with far greater insight, one or two very useful new tools and ideas of how to put them into practise
Cost-effective, time efficient and cutting edge – Light Bites Learning© provides the flexibility to ensure you don’t have to miss out on important training and development
Our sessions are centered around Andragogy (Adult Learning theory) which tells us that for individuals to accept and support learning they must:

Adults need to be involved in the planning and evaluation of their instruction (self-concept and motivation to learn)
Experience (including mistakes) provides the basis for learning activities (experience)
Adults are most interested in learning subjects that have immediate relevance to their job or personal life (readiness to learn)
Adult learning is problem-centered rather than content-oriented (orientation to learning)

Many of our clients like to present their people with one or more solutions in various capability areas, so they have some flexibility and choice over their own development
