soft skills and people skills training

For professional development, specialising in Presentation Skills, Communication Skills and Storytelling for Business.

The lack of essential soft skills (communication, people management, and presentation ability) is not a frustration, it is a measurable financial drain on the UK economy. Recent research estimates that the soft skills deficit alone costs the UK economy £22 billion annually, with broader estimates soaring to £88 billion.

This shows up in your company as:

Project failures and delays due to a lack of effective communication.

Poor presentations, badly delivered leading to failure to close deals, brand damage and reputational risk.

Failure to articulate a clear vision, leading to confusion, fear, and organizational misalignment

High employee turnover triggering costly recruitment.

Low morale and high stress because of unclear or inconsistent messaging.

Erosion of client trust due to poor client communication by company representatives.

Wasted productivity due to poor clarity or duplication of effort.

SOFT & PEOPLE SKILLS

Soft skills build the internal capability to think, adapt and perform well. People skills build the external capability to communicate, collaborate and influence effectively. Together, they form the essential tools which build emotional intelligence: the foundation of professional effectiveness.

Tom guides you to see things from a perspective that helps your business. He's thoughtful, inspiring and eternally optimistic. Tom is also an attentive listener and is able to find the right approach, tailored to you and your situation.
Niclas Aberg - IT Consultant
Sometimes in life you meet people and there is just something very special about them and you cannot always put your finger on why. It's just a gut feeling you have and you want to see them again and again. Tom Bodell is one of those rare people you meet who has a very calming soul and has a unique ability to make you feel so very comfortable. To me Tom has that rare gift from the universe to be able to connect with people in a way that makes them feel valued. He wears no masks as he is just himself and that's why he is such a wonderful human and a motivator like no other.

I was a little sceptical about how productive online training might be, especially with a team. However, Tom was able to deliver several fun, engaging and effective sessions by using his charisma, experience of training and a versatile online platform. My team had a very positive experience and cannot wait to do the next session.
Tom is very amenable and open; he’s like a trainer, mentor and coach all rolled in to one because to him it’s about the outcome for the individual rather than delivering a set training session and walking away.
Lucinda Lay - Innovation Gateway
His experience and ability made the day the most effective and enjoyable training I’ve ever had. Everyone in the room made tangible improvements in their Presentation Skills. To cater for so many different styles and needs in one room and still succeed is testament to his talent.
Tim Rook - IBM
Tom taught us techniques through interactive exercises to help us change our ways in a meaningful way, in a way that would actually stick. Changes to daily tasks which were achievable immediately - it has to work for you and this course helps you to realise that you are not superman and helps to spark change you can do.
