Online courses available

My courses can be delivered as stand-alone bookings or as a series, and all courses/sessions can be tailored to your specific requirements so we add value to your staff and particular needs.

I’m also happy to create new sessions if you would like to explore something that isn’t on my existing session list

Many of these sessions are grounded in a webpage produced in Notion (a fabulous AI tool that I highly recommend). This webpage gives all participants access to all the tools we use and explore during the session.

Sessions are highly interactive - I demonstrate the use of a tool or technique, then we break out and encourage participants to explore the tool themselves, then reconvene to discuss and learn from the group experience.

This experiential form of learning is very effective at transferring knowledge, overcoming fear and resistance to using new tech, providing an engaging and interactive learning journey for all.

I offer a range of PM courses, from a 1-day high-level Introduction to basic PM tools and concept to longer 2 or 3 day courses.

Rates

Basic

My basic day rate is €1,000 per day, or €500 for a half-day. Reduced rates can be discussed for charities and non-profits.

Courses that are already prepared can be delivered with just the delivery time built into the price, so there is no preparation time to add.

Tailored

All my courses can be tailored to suit the specific needs of your audience.

If this approach is adopted, we will normally have an initial free half-hour discussion to outline the needs from the training or consultancy engagement, and to map out a discovery process to include learning about your needs, preparing the materials and then delivering the training or consultancy.

I will prepare a formal proposal document, and we will agree a cost for preparation and delivery broken down into day or half-day amounts. Payment is after delivery, within 30 days.
