How I Help – Maryanne Johnston

You will see a return on investment through:

Increased confidence – ensuring you and your team feel natural, relaxed and confident
Saved time – reducing the stress and preparation time needed for the pitch by introducing an effective planning strategy
Greater impact – maximising the effectiveness of communication through better content structuring
Video reviewing – increasing self-awareness and effective feedback

Small Group Workshops
- Interactive, well-paced workshops
- Time between sessions gives the opportunity to practise techniques
- Small groups, allowing more personal, individual and peer to peer feedback
- Less ‘info overload’ through the course with content being split in half
1-to-1 session

No 2 client sessions are the same
All programmes are bespoke and tailored to the client’s specific needs and numbers, so the sample outline is best viewed as a guide.
Pick & Mix: Short, flexible 1-1 workshops

For clients who need a shorter, flexible training solution, I can offer Pick & Mix Workshops.

Personal Investment Management firm
The firm provides discretionary investment management to private clients. They are based in East Lothian and have 43 employees.
