Leadership & Management, Professional Training in New Trows

Which is the best Coaching qualification for me to undertake and at what level? It’s another one of those questions that often stumps us when thinking about our future development in Coaching!!

Earlier this year 10 of our colleagues attended the Microsoft 365 Bootcamp Training with SquareOne. Although we already had the Microsoft 365 package in the business, we were not using it to its full potential. The training provided us with a comprehensive understanding of Microsoft 365, enabling us to utilise it effectively and it has already had a positive impact on the way we work. The trainer was fantastic, and the overall service from SquareOne was excellent. We highly recommend both SquareOne and the course for any organisation looking to maximize their Microsoft 365 usage.

In collaboration with MPW Learning, a programme called ‘Leadership Pathway Programme’ was designed to bring all of the skills of a large high street charity organisation management team up to date. After introduction of the programme, common working practices were restructured, productivity increased and management satisfaction improved.

The LEAD management programme provides an intensive introduction to the world of people management, focusing on achieving results with and through people. The programme is highly practical and the return on investment starts the minute the delegate re-enters their working environment.

Attending the LEAD programme equipped Ellen Carter with the right tools and techniques along with the confidence and competence to implement her Making A Difference project ahead of schedule during these very challenging times.
