Short Impact Sessions

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.

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
  • Light Bites Learning© uses the latest accelerated learning techniques to condense key themes into 90-minute sessions
  • 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
