An excellent time to review your training needs - sign up for May's
fantastic line up of courses

 

Well there has been a lot going on hasn't there? Royal weddings and bank
holidays aside we've all been leaping in to the new financial year mindful
of a range of challenges. Challenges which might become easier to deal with
given an injection of Creating Capacity's tailored training courses,
enabling you to learn and share with peers in an environment which has been
carefully considered for your learning. Each of the following courses costs
£155 plus vat including 3 months post-course support from your trainer and
are being held at the relaxed and comfortable Toynbee Studios, 28 Commercial
Street, London, E1 6AB.

 

It could be that you need:

o Support to stay focused on what matters in a digital age. In
which case you need Upgrade yourself! Working Smarter in the Digital Age.
Sinead Mac Manus, digital well-being mentor will guide participants through
simple strategies to avoid the digital deluge. Sinead's easy and gentle
style will build your confidence in using the right tool for the right job
making sure you are using your time and resources in the most effective way.
It's on 12 May at Toynbee Studios, 28 Commercial Street, London, E1 6AB.

 

o Volunteer management: Reflecting the community in volunteer
diversity is run by John Vincent of The Network on 16 May. It will help you
to attract and retain a wider cross-section of the community in your
volunteer base which will be good for your organisation, your community and
how your service is perceived and used in the long-term.

 

o Guidance on balancing and creating an effective governance
structure. If so, Effective governance: Strategic teamwork for Trustee
Boards and Committees is for you. Lynne Gillett is Creating Capacity's
expert trainer on organisational development and board dynamics, so don't
miss out on this opportunity get your Board working effectively around your
organisations aims and objectives. It's being held on 18 May

 

o To spend time thinking about the needs and motivations of the
people you manage. Managing People: Practical guidance tailored to
middle-managers on 26 May is an ideal solution for those who wish to bring
out the best in their staff (and who doesn't!). Deirdre d’Arcy from Centre
4 Learning brings her people skills to bear in supporting managers in being
more effective, taking better decisions and supporting individuals and teams
to achieve to their full potential.

 

o Harnessing the potential of the digital world: Practical tools
for generating income from cultural assets on 27 May. This is a must for
those who need to understand the issues which need to be embraced when
considering the monetisation of your assets from business planning to
protecting assets from unauthorised use. Naomi Korn re-joins the Creating
Capacity team for this session providing invaluable practical and effective
tools.

 

So don't miss out on these training courses which have been selected on the
basis of the requests of users of Creating Capacity in the last 12 months.
