Thanks, Michelle! This is great. Fehmeeda -----Original Message----- From: HE Administrators equal opportunities list [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Michelle Bingham Sent: 12 March 2009 15:40 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: Training in dealing with cultural differences and cultural diversity Dear colleagues I can highly recommend Viv Brosnaghan Director of People Matters. She's a former HR manager and E&D specialist of over 20 years. She delivers training widely accross the HE sector, which makes the learning relevant. Every term she delivers on our compulsory E&D training for staff / E&D training for managers / and cultural awareness courses. The feedback is very good, which I can vouch for having attended all three programmes. It's rare to find a professional E&D trainer who combines E&D principles and practice, with HR savvy, HE awareness and fun; providing excellent pre- and post session resources for delegates. It's also refreshing that she can take almost any challenging question, and respond fully and in relation to HE. Sorry to rave on, but I do think Viv at People Matters is one for your address books. Tel: 02476 543142 / 07853 060454 or [log in to unmask] Alternatively if colleagues wish to discuss with me (or the Head of Staff and Educational Development, who commissions the training), please call.
