In 1974 I started a Management Training Company called
Communication Improvements. I ran this company for 17 years
until I sold it to three of my then employees. It grew
slowly but in the end we had 15 full time employees, most
of them training consultants. We worked for major
multinational companies all over the world. Some of the key
names you will know like IBM, Lloyds Bank, Glaxo Smith
Kline, Gulf. Shell, Mobil, Apple, Honeywell, and so on. In
fact you would probably know the names of all our clients
as we worked for more than 100 multinationals over the
years.
In that time I ran more than 600 training programmes for
many of these clients. We worked in the UK, all over
Europe, in the USA, Canada, South Africa, Australia and the
Far East. We developed a unique communications programme
which ran for 3 days with just 8 participants. There were
two full time consultants running every programme and a
video operator so it was a very intense and individual
course. The principles of this programme, the Fundamental
Principles of Communication which never change are set out
on the page 'The Principles of Communication' (see button
). This is a diagrammatic representation of the Book which
I finally wrote in 1998 'The Little Book of Words'. (see
button ).
Not surprisingly in 17 years I learnt a good deal about
what makes courses work. In fact I have been a great course
goer all my life and have attended hundreds - and sometimes
still do. Press the button 'Courses 2' and you will find
some information and links to some of the best courses and
venues in the world.
