Be a PA with PA

This Workshop is based around effective outcome thinking, communication and awareness tools. The tools utilise Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) techniques that have been developed and utilised by leading edge organisations in order to achieve excellence. 

The learning is created through a combination of demonstrations, group exercises and discussions.  There is an emphasis on fun and experiential learning to make the tools and techniques practical and instantly “usable” in your role as a PA.  A PA with PA (Perfect Awareness) will have more flexibility, stronger relationships and therefore the ability to work more effectively and efficiently in supporting individuals, teams and the business as a whole.
