Active Listening Training - The secret of great communicators!

Hearing and listening are two different terms and active listening is the key to effective communication. If you want to enhance your active listening skills, enrolling in an Active Listening training course is an ideal way to improve your ability to communicate professionally.

I found the training day very helpful for bringing our team together. I feel sure that the non judgmental attitude and the positive energy of the trainer energy left the group thinking "it's ok to open up."

Found the course and the presenter inspiring. Have used the skills learned to look at how I behave and communicate as well as listen to others within the workplace and home. Thanks.

Great communication with all parties (both participant and HR) before and after the training. Reminder emails are a good tool. Our participant found the course very useful.

In-House Training - We’ll focus on what matters most to you and tailor to your context


Face-to-Face, Live Online, or Hybrid Class Tailored to Your Needs

When you want a tailored learning experience targeting exactly what you want without bringing everyone physically together, the best choice is a Live Online Class run by PDT.

We tailor the content and activities to be specific to your current needs and the needs of the people and run the course in our usual activity-based workshop style training, however, the participants can all be offsite, or some can be in the room with others offsite.

Unless you have a preferred tools we use 'Zoom for Education' that includes enhanced collaboration features such as One-click content sharing, real-time co-annotation (people can work together in activity files), and digital whiteboarding, we also include things like live polls and group chats so you virtually have the same collaborative learning experience of attending a course in a room with other people.

live online & hybrid

We have delivered these 100's (if not 1000's) of times, and get great outcomes. We achieve great outcomes because we keep our learner centric approach - just because it’s delivered through a screen to some or all participants doesn’t mean it needs to be less tailored or less personalised.

You still have an expert trainer who talks to you prior to the session and tailors the delivery to use your terminology, ensure activities are relevant and directly applicable and ensures an engaging learning experience that provide people with skills and techniques they can apply the very next day.

A hybrid class is with some people connecting online, and some people physically together in the same room.
