Most of us have experienced death by PowerPoint presentations, where the presenter, with the best intentions, puts up slide after slide slides that they read word for word to the audience already reading them.
We argue that it is not so much the presenter's fault but the fault of most people's idea of what a presentation should look like. We are here to change that.
If you ask most people how they learned to deliver a presentation, it was through their boss or a colleague and not in a more reasoned and educational setting such as one of our sessions.
Ask yourself… 'What do I want this presentation to do'? Is it to inform, persuade, sell a product or service, or sell impending change to our people? Whatever it is, we help you design and plan your presentation to meet that need to attain the ideal result.
However, we have a unique approach to presenting that stops the presenter from being solely responsible for persuading their audience but instead gets the audience to persuade themselves. 
We discuss the neuroscience behind our fickle brains and help you understand how to use that to truly engage your audience and make them do the thinking and reasoning.
We help you design activities and even tests (I know it sounds odd, doesn’t it) to help the people in your audience understand why what you are saying is so important and how they have decided that their thinking about what you are saying is correct.
Contact us to find out more.



LENGTH - Normally, two days. But please contact us to discuss your specific needs, or we can offer advice.  
NEXT WORKSHOP START - Please ask for more information as we deliver bespoke closed events for your people at your location or a mutually suitable location.
WORKSHOP DELIVERY - The best environment for this workshop is face-to-face, but we can facilitate this workshop online.

Who Should Attend and Why?
This is for anyone who is expected to deliver a presentation to anyone. It is ideal for those planning to become a Team Leader or Manager. It is for consultancies to help their consultants design their pitch interactively and engagingly so prospective clients are interested and want to know more.
When we are tasked or task an individual to deliver a presentation, there is always a goal. Think about this for a moment; you wouldn’t go on holiday without packing everything you need, planning the route/journey, taking things to occupy those who may get distracted, and having a good idea of what everyone should be doing when they get there. So, in your presentation, we make sure you have everything you (and they) need, plan the time you have for your presentation with room to spare, have tools and activities to engage your audience and keep them off their phones, and even plan what they will be doing and talking about when they leave.
Presentations are all about the 7 Ps. 'Prior Preparation and Planning Prevents Particularly Poor Performance' (Perhaps). 
Training Course Content
Defining the goal of your presentation.
What makes an excellent presenter and an excellent presentation?
The 'Do’s' and 'Don’ts' of presenting.
Neuroscience, presentations and Sat Nav Presenters!
We demonstrate an example presentation versus our interactive session for engagement.
Using our presentation planner to plan a presentation and what to consider.
Using the right question techniques in the right way.
Experiment by delivering a short presentation to the group.
Workshop delivery and venue
Day one will cover all the ingredients for delivering a great presentation, including discussing the ingredients and our presentation planner. We will also discuss our interactive methodology and have plenty of time to discuss topics and ask questions.
We suggest at least one week between the two days to give people time to prepare and rehearse for the final day when they give a short presentation on a topic of their choice. 
On day two, the attendees will deliver their planned sessions as an experiment to experience our methodology. 
When you consider the content we deliver, we are sure you will understand why we always prefer to deliver our workshops, courses and programmes face-to-face.
Face-to-face workshops and courses can be held at a location of your choice, or, if you wish, we can use a central UK location at the Macdonald Burlington Hotel in Birmingham, located directly across from the Birmingham New Street train station.
We can deliver our workshops, courses and programmes online, although this will mean splitting elements into manageable learning events to suit the online environment.

In the US alone, it has been estimated that the cost of unnecessary meetings and wasted time is over $35 billion!
Many executives feel overwhelmed by meetings, and no wonder: On average, they spend nearly 23 hours a week in them, up from less than 10 hours in the 1960s. Moreover, the meetings are often poorly timed, badly run, or both. Quote from Harvard Revue 2017. 
Our Managing Meetings workshop looks at the common reasons for meetings that give some attendees little or no value. It identifies the efficiency killers and works to understand what causes each issue and what possible solutions we can come up with to discuss and plan to experiment with back in the workplace. 
During the day, we invite every member to play a crucial role, conduct a meeting, and analyse the short meeting. Once we have done this, we collaboratively plan the next version of the meeting and use some of the tools we incorporate into the day to feel the impact and reap the benefits. Your input is invaluable as we do not work in your environment.
By following the meeting structure and guidelines we provide, you will not only enjoy efficient and effective meetings, but also see a significant boost in productivity and a reduction in unnecessary meeting time. The benefits are real and tangible.





LENGTH - Normally one day. But please get in touch with us to discuss your specific needs, or we can offer advice.  
NEXT WORKSHOP START - Please ask for more information as we deliver bespoke closed events for your people at your location or a mutually suitable location.
WORKSHOP DELIVERY - The best environment for this workshop is face-to-face, but we can facilitate this workshop online.



Suitability - Who should attend?
Who Should Attend and Why?
Who? - This is generally for Leaders and Managers so they can pass on the skills and tools to ensure their direct reports learn how to manage an efficient and effective meeting.
Why? Meetings are expensive. You only have to take a weekly meeting you attend, calculate the time by each person's hourly pay, and then sit down to recover.
Inefficient meetings waste time and money and frequently annoy people. They can also badly affect their productivity, and then they get told off for not being more productive!
Help your people be more efficient in meetings. Get what’s required out of each one and stop the ones that are not required at all.

This workshop/course introduces people (of any industry or position) to Emotional Intelligence (EI).
We ask you to complete a short EI self-assessment questionnaire to take away and use for your personal development.
We then introduce the ingredients of EI and chat about why they are essential, what they aim to achieve, and why they are critical to “clean” communication across the whole organisation.
We ask you to consider our Moccasin Approach® and our EI Tree® and why they are tools for the future success of internal and external communication.
We link EI to organisational culture and the inherent responsibility we all have to make our workplace culture the type that retains our people, attracts great people to join our organisation, and is a culture that we are proud to talk about because it is truly lived (not just a flag-waving exercise). 
We look at Empathy, how it works, why it is different from sympathy, and how we must all use it in our daily communication with others.
We discuss how personal styles and preferences (even bias) are critical to everyday communication.
We examine the word trust and discuss its meaning, how we can gain and maintain it, and why consistency is one of our favourite words regarding the element of trust.
We ask you to consider our thinking around 'Change Champions' and Best Practice Managers' to help create high-performing teams and cross-team collaboration and support. 



LENGTH - For more information about duration, please get in touch with us to discuss your specific needs, or we can offer advice.

Suitability - Who should attend?
Who? 
Everyone you employ, including your associate or external consultants.
Why? 
Every person needs to understand how EI works, what it takes to get it right, why it is essential and how it helps anyone develop new, better and more meaningful relationships.
The ultimate goal of EI is to create the best possible working relationships and Psychological Safety so that we can communicate "cleanly" without worrying about getting in trouble for sharing our thoughts and opinions.
By the way, EI is just as powerful at home, socially, and with our children. We can add Socratic questions to the mix to help us impact others' thinking.

Values, behaviours, ES2, and creating saboteurs!

Emotional Intelligence and Me (EI & Me)

Non profits only. 

LaPD Solutions is passionate about the skills required to transfer Skills, Knowledge and Understanding (SKU) to others.
We believe that trainers should not lecture their learners but instead use our tools to engage, interest, and even challenge them, making them inquisitive about the learning and able to reason out the new SKU to keep their brains engaged.
Our three to five-day course compares the lecture-based delivery that most trainers use to deliver their training to our Engagement Methodology and explains why it is significantly better for learning and retention.
We use the same session structure in our methodology to deliver these courses. Our CET structure is not rigid but rather adaptable to the dynamic situations trainers often find themselves in, especially when time is tight. This flexibility empowers trainers to deliver effective training regardless of the circumstances.
We discuss why question techniques are an incredibly powerful tool in the art of engaging our learners, and we look at when we should use specific techniques and even when we should not. We give time to practice this key skill, but please note that the three-day course has limited time for this crucial practice. The three-day version of this course is designed exclusively for experienced trainers, recognising their expertise and the experience they have acquired. Including inexperienced trainers is unfair to them or others on their course.
A comprehensive course manual (100+ pages) is supplied and used throughout the course to ensure attendees can find their way around and ask questions as they wish.




LENGTH - Two, three or five days, depending on experience and roles. But please contact us to discuss your specific needs so we can offer our advice.  
NEXT WORKSHOP START - Please ask for more information as we deliver bespoke closed events for your people at your location or a mutually suitable location.
WORKSHOP DELIVERY - The best environment for this workshop is face-to-face, but we can facilitate this workshop online.



Suitability - Who should attend?
Who? - ANYONE involved in transferring Skills, Knowledge and Understanding (SKU)
People who are brand new into training - 5 days.
People who will be taking up a training role soon - 5 days.
Experienced trainers and facilitators (ideally two years) who want to adapt their current delivery style to our interactive and engagement methodology - 3 days.
People whose primary role is not training but will deliver training occasionally - 2 days.
Why? If you want your trainers to deliver engaging training that helps their attendees learn and retain new skills, knowledge, and understanding (SKU), then ensure they have been given the proper training to do just that.
Show your clients that you have invested in your trainers by ensuring they are all certified to deliver training and that their delivery is monitored and assessed to maintain those standards.
If you expect high standards of training in your organisation and given to your clients, then ensure you have the tools to do that and the ability for your senior trainers to assess their peers to ensure the consistency of quality, the monitoring of standards and the continuous development of all your trainers and facilitators.
Training Course Content
What is a Sat-Nav trainer, and why must we avoid this at all costs?
We discuss our recommended session structure and why it is designed that way.
We examine different question techniques and discuss what each is good for or why it should be avoided.
We look at our Task Based Objectives (TBOs) and discuss various reasons why they should be adopted.
We touch on learning styles to see what you think of each and how we can cater to them.
We take a good look at our SAS feedback model and why we think it must be facilitated and not given.
We help you plan and prepare for your final session for the last day using our Script Writing Guide.
We discuss why Emotional Intelligence is a must-have in your trainer's toolbox.
Attendees deliver their final mini sessions. We record them (HD). We offer one-on-one feedback. We chat as a group.
Course delivery and venue
When you consider the content we deliver, we are sure you will understand why we always prefer to deliver our workshops, courses and programmes face-to-face.
Face-to-face workshops and courses can be held at a location of your choice or, if you wish, a central UK location, such as the Macdonald Burlington Hotel in Birmingham, located directly across from the Birmingham New Street train station.
We can deliver our workshops, courses and programmes online, although this will mean splitting elements into manageable learning events to suit the online environment.
The three-day course is split into two parts. The first two days are together, then the third day a week (or more) later. This gives attendees time to plan, prepare and practice before delivering their final recorded sessions.
The five-day course is not required to be split as practice time is built into the 4th day. However, if it suits organisations better, we can accommodate a split between the fourth and fifth days.

Our Moccasin Manager and our Moccasin Approach offer a unique perspective on understanding and addressing management challenges, paving the way for positive change. It's important to note that this is not a quick fix but a journey that requires commitment, effort, proactive teamwork, measurement, responsibility, and accountability from your organisation.
In this interactive workshop, your managers will have the opportunity to share their management challenges, concerns, worries, and hopes. Together, we will explore how our approaches can help identify and address these issues and discuss strategies for implementation. We also encourage participants to commit to follow-up discussions after the workshop to track progress and address ongoing challenges.



LENGTH - For more information about duration, please get in touch with us to discuss your specific needs, or we can offer advice.  
NEXT WORKSHOP START - Please ask for more information as we deliver bespoke closed events for your people at your location or a mutually suitable location.
WORKSHOP DELIVERY - The best environment for this workshop is face-to-face, but we can facilitate this workshop online.



Suitability - Who should attend?
Who Should Attend and Why?
Who? - This is for any level of Manager or Leader (regardless of hierarchical position) and those expected to step into managerial or leadership roles in the next 12 to 18 months.
Why? - From our experience, most new managers and leaders are rarely given proper management or leadership training before their first appointment. If you think about it, this is inviting problems! How can you expect someone to step up from being one of the team to managing the team (or another team) without proper training?
Very few organisations do this, but those who continue to do this for all their rising talent say it produces benefits and helps everything work smoothly. They would not continue to run these programmes with us if it were not.
When asked why they have these programmes annually, they mostly say it gives prospective managers and leaders the understanding of how to deal with people and understand how everyone else will be managing and leading their people too. They also want them to have time to practice the skills before they take up their new positions.
Managers need to know how to manage people, which means understanding how people are different, how they want to be treated, and how they do not want to be treated. This may seem common sense until you bring in the organisation's culture.

What is our Phoenix Effect workshop about?
Our Phoenix Effect workshop helps your organisation burn down the toxic elements of its organisational culture and working environment and rebuild them through a positive, collaborative, and people-focused long-term plan. 
The plan is created by the end of the workshop for everyone to take away and collaborate in its success. The success will be managed, driven and, yes, even policed by the Organisational Culture Engagement Team (OCET), or whatever name you decide to give it. 
The team will consist of individuals from all levels within the organisation who are motivated to make this work and see the growth of a new and better organisational culture driven by its organisational values (make sure your values are people-focused). 
The overarching psychological safety will be guaranteed in the People Strategy document (I can help you with that if you haven’t got one yet). In it, the organisation will state that all colleagues, regardless of their position, will not just be permitted to say what they want to anyone at all, but that they will do so as part of their job. 
Furthermore, the organisational values should be copied into every job description as part of the employee contract. This, in turn, permits the one-to-one chats to ensure colleagues are doing their jobs by performing as they should and behaving in a manner that supports the organisational values and culture. 
The organisation will then be set up to continue on that journey, with everyone working collaboratively in a psychologically safe environment to grow a superb organisation to work in and attract new talent. 
Who Should Attend and Why?
Who? 
All people in HR and Training/L&D. People from various levels who will have volunteered and been identified as motivated to drive the organisation-wide development required to succeed. 
Why? 
We should ALL want to help improve our working environment and make our teams feel safe and happy. 
Regardless of who we work with or for, we must all do everything we can to work well together and build and maintain excellent working relationships. 
When we truly understand things from the perspective of others (our Moccasin Approach®), we are far better able to communicate and work with them effectively and efficiently. 
It’s the people in an organisation who make it or break it. They help create positivity or negativity. Do well by your people, and they will do well by you.
Workshop Content
All Phoenix Effect workshops are facilitated by our managing director, Mac Macdonald, who has vast experience helping organisations from all industries of all sizes and sectors. 


We open with our ingredients of Emotional Intelligence (EI).
We then delve into the truth about Organisational Culture (OC) and share our honest thoughts and opinions.
Everyone completes our OC self-assessment in small groups and then shares their thinking to build a starting hit list.
Small group discussions to establish possible solutions to their OC issues?
What causes these issues, and what can we suggest as possible solutions?
How will the fire burn down the old culture, and how will the new culture rise from those ashes and plan the change?
We will discuss our ES2 thinking and see why it is critical to this Phoenix Effect objective.
We discuss “Consequence Conversations” and why they must be used.
We examine our “ARCHWAY Approach”® to understand why it can be used as a health checker.



LENGTH - For more information about duration, please get in touch with us to discuss your specific needs, or we can offer advice.  
NEXT WORKSHOP START - Please ask for more information as we deliver bespoke closed events for your people at your location or a mutually suitable location.

Workshop delivery and venue
When you consider the content we deliver, we are sure you will understand why we always prefer to deliver our workshops, courses and programmes face-to-face.
Face-to-face workshops and courses can be held at a location of your choice or, if you wish, a central UK location, such as the Macdonald Burlington Hotel in Birmingham, located directly across from the Birmingham New Street train station.

<h2><strong>About this Training Course</strong></h2>
<p>Identifying and correcting the root cause of failures in boilers and steam power plant equipment is essential to help reduce the chance of future problems. A comprehensive assessment is the most effective method of determining the root cause of a failure. For example, a tube failure in a boiler is usually a symptom of other problems. To fully understand the root cause of the failure, one must investigate all aspects of boiler operation leading to the failure in addition to evaluating the failure itself. When a boiler tube failure occurs, the root cause of the failure must be identified and eliminated.</p>
<p>This 5 full-day course starts by providing an in-depth understanding of root cause analysis methodology. This includes how to identify the problem, contain and analyze the problem, define the root cause of the problem, define and implement the actions required to eliminate the root cause, and validate that the corrective actions prevented recurrence of the problem. Many practical examples on how to apply root cause analysis for various industrial problems are discussed in detail.</p>
<p>The course then provides an in-depth explanation of all failure mechanisms that occur in steam power plants including corrosion, erosion, creep, cavitation, under-deposit attacks, stress corrosion cracking, hydrogen embrittlement, flow accelerated corrosion, etc. This course also provides a thorough explanation of all the failure mechanisms that occur in boilers and steam power plant equipment including steam turbines, condensers, feedwater heaters, etc. The symptoms of the failures, possible causes, components typically affected and solutions are also provided in this course. This includes boiler waterside, fireside and general boiler failure mechanisms as well as all the causes and prevention of all steam turbine failures, condensers, and feedwater heaters. The course also includes detailed study of many case histories of failures in boilers, steam turbines, condensers and feedwater heaters.</p>

LOOKING FOR: ADULT FICTION
Louise Buckley  has worked in publishing for well over a decade. She was inspired to enter the publishing industry after completing an MA in Creative Writing and then spent a hugely enjoyable year working as a bookseller for Waterstones, wishing that she could have a hand in publishing books.
After a year working at Dorling Kindersley, she then spent almost five years working in the commercial fiction division at Pan Macmillan, where she published a mix of commercial bestsellers and award-winning authors.
Most recently, she was an Associate Literary Agent at Zeno Agency Ltd. As an agent she represented a roster of commercial and literary fiction, including Anne Griffin’s When All is Said, which spent five weeks at number one in Ireland and sold into 17 territories.
She is delighted to be working with Hannah at Hannah Sheppard Literary Agency.
Louise is looking for:-
Literary and upmarket fiction that focusses on the underdog, the repressed, the suppressed. Louise is especially interested in novels that represent working-class people or children going through difficult circumstances (think Shuggie Bain by Douglas Stuart, My Name is Leon by Kit de Waal or Boys Don’t Cry by FÍona Scarlett).
Irish literary and book club fiction. Think Claire Keegan, Louise Kennedy or Anne Griffin.
In commercial fiction she loves novels set during the Second World War, such as The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah, The Beekeeper of Aleppo by Christi Lefteri or The Midwife of Auschwitz by Anna Stuart. Louise recently read and loved The Last List of Mabel Beaumont by Laura Pearson and would love to see anything in the same ‘older person going on a journey’ category, a more recent The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry.
Louise had a lot of fun publishing a ‘pet fiction’ novel as an editor (Molly and the Cat Café) and would love to find an author who can write an Alfie the Doorstep Cat/Dog.
She has a soft spot for novels featuring time-travel or parallel universes, a ‘what if’ that plays around with conventions. At the literary end this would be books like Life After Life by Kate Atkinson, The Shining Girls by Lauren Beukes or This is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone. At the more commercial end Louise loved Wrong Place, Wrong Time by Gillian McAllister, Dark Matter by Blake Crouch and Oona Out of Order by Martina Montimore. She also enjoys novels set in the real world but featuring a hefty dose of magic or the supernatural. They can be commercial or literary, present-day or historical. Think Rivers of London by Ben Aaronovitch, Threadneedle by Cari Thomas, A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness or The Gifts by Liz Hyder. And also cosy fantasy in the vein of Legends and Lattes or The House in the Cerulean Sea.
Cosy or humorous crime. Recently, Louise absolutely loved Over My Dead Body by Maz Evans. When she was an editor Louise published the hit Luckiest Girl Alive by Jessica Knoll and would love to represent incisive, intelligent suspense written by authors such as Jessica Knoll and Gillian Flynn, or something a little more subversive and blackly comic like My Sister, the Serial Killer by Oyinkan Braithwaite.
More generally, Louise would also love to see novels with a disabled protagonist or someone (like myself) who is living with an invisible disability. As an ex-primary school teacher, she also warmly welcomes submissions from teachers, especially if the submission falls into one of the other categories she has listed. Following-on from this, she enjoys reading stories that follow a ‘beating the system’ narrative.
Louise is NOT looking for:
-romance
-romantasy
-epic, traditional fantasy
-space opera
-straightforward women’s fiction
-children’s fiction of any kind
-non-fiction
Louise would like you to submit a covering letter, 1 page synopsis and the first three chapters or 5,000 words of your manuscript in a single word document.

(In addition to the paid sessions, Louise is kindly offering one free session for low income/under-represented writers. Please email agent121@iaminprint.co.uk to apply, outlining your case for this option which is offered at the discretion of I Am In Print).

You also agree to email your material in one document to reach I Am In Print by the stated submission deadline and note that I Am In Print take no responsibility for the advice received during your agent meeting.
The submission deadline is: Friday 27 September 2024
