Our Team Building Programmes are 'simply excellent' (quote from Unilever). They always deliver much greater energy' motivation and efficiently accelerates to a galvanised, integrated team for their Manager/Team Leader. They're great fun and very commercially orientated - the best of both key elements to a successful and long-lasting high performance team. A successful company is always made up of successful teams. Teams that can work autonomously with a clearly defined set of goals, roles, vision, responsibility and culture will always reach for and achieve far greater success than a team that works just as a group of individuals. Our team building solutions are individually built and geared towards teams at any level within an organisation, providing an independent and objective perspective to promote a common purpose such as the creation of a 'high performance team'. Out With The Old Traditionally, team building events have been restricted to certain levels of management where they head off site for a bit of archery, quad biking and paintballing or something along those lines. Then over some coffee and cocktails, business plans and more efficient ways to work are casually discussed. Whilst being out having fun instead of being at work may improve an individual person's mood, the effect will only be short-term, and will not go far in creating permanent and cohesive teams who are able to overcome challenges together and drive the business forward when back in the workplace. In With The New Today's business thinking is more strategic and certainly has to look for returns on the investment. That is why Dickson Training Ltd's team building programmes are bespoke and built to your requirements through research, understanding your business and, most importantly, what results and achievements you are looking to get out of the programme. Once "what success looks like" has been established, we create tasks and activities that will test your leadership, problem solving, communication and team work skills. When the tasks have been completed, the learning - both practical and theory - is debriefed to the group as well as how it will translate back in your business. Not only are our events great fun, but they provide participants with learning points they can act upon to improve or enhance the working practices/environment. Team Building That Gets Results We have a highly innovative team who design team builds to suit all budgets and time or space restrictions. Large or small, we will develop the perfect event to meet your commercial objectives, keeping in line with your values and company culture. More recently we have combined team galvanising events with ways to engage the participants with and support their local communities. This solution has proved extremely popular with our clients and we are continuing to develop more and more programmes doing exactly this. " Phil did everything in a very professional and focused manner, without losing sight of the overall aims or having 'fun'. When I moved to Airbus UK and subsequently European Aeronautic Defense and Space Company (EADS), I had no hesitation in recommending Phil and the team to deliver the required training and team events.  Without doubt Phil and his team are excellent providers of training, to suit even bespoke requirements, and I would not hesitate in recommending the team to any business in the future. " Glenn Brown, Systems & Expertise Manager, Airbus Personnel Service Augmented Skills – an Essay by Phil Dickson All of you, who are reading this, and all the people you meet and work with will have – ‘Augmented Skills’. So – if you are an IT Engineer or a Pharmacist; perhaps you are, or know, a Departmental Leader and you work with a Logistics Project Manager; these roles will demand core skills, whether they be technical know-how or qualifications in the discipline. But to be that bit better; more reliable; more effective & productive and therefore more valuable and, frankly, marketable – capitalizing on ‘Augment Skills’ comes into play. The I T Engineer who was a Chess Champion at Uni, which would indicate that they possess some key ‘Augmented skills’ including how they plan 3 steps ahead and are always prepared for the unexpected. The Pharmacist, who is a keen sportsperson in their private life, will likely be tenacious, team-orientated and disciplined – again these are superb qualities to have in this – or any – role. Your colleagues, as well as yourself, will have ‘Augmented Skills’ that will be an asset if only they are explored and applied to their role and indeed, career. Everyone has their own 'Super-power' If they love gardening, they are probably strategic, patient and inclined to research; if they cook or bake, they are usually well organized and comfortable with multi-tasking. A big reader will tend to be considered and possess good critical thinking faculties, and an amateur mechanic or keen DIY person will often be practical, resourceful and very determined. I have observed that many new Parents discover they have ‘Augmented Skills’ they didn’t know they had... such as getting order out of chaos and displaying industrial amounts of patience and good grace when they really do not feel like it. They very often become far more compassionate and empathetic. Most people have their very own ‘Superpower’. Invite your team members to offer their ‘Augmented Skills’ to your work-place – and just watch as it elevates the motivation levels and improves results. It’ll be very rewarding for all concerned – and for meeting the Team’s objectives, to encourage the person who is a talented artist to be a sounding board on some of the marketing imagery and layouts; for the team member who is great at Maths or resolving crosswords to be asked for their input to solving a problem that is causing logistical or operational headaches. Never exploit a Team member’s unique special skills at their expense I would like to stress, however, that it must never be an area where a team member gets exploited by harvesting their unique special skills to coerce them into taking on greater responsibilities and tasks without providing them with the commensurate salary and status. To do so would be immoral and, ultimately, counter-productive as it would lead to resentment and disenfranchisement. This is about encouraging people’s capability and inviting their input to boost confidence and enhance the team’s capability. Often, we need to be more than what our Job Description says It is also important to highlight that whatever a person’s role or function is – they will definitely need to have additional capabilities to be effective. The best example of this is when we designed and delivered a range of ‘Advanced Customer Care skills’ training sessions for the Met Office a few years ago…we met so many remarkably super-bright Meteorologists, many of whom were having to make significant adjustments to answering questions from Customers that seemed to be illogical and often, obtuse. It wasn’t enough for these Meteorologists to be highly skilled at interpreting data and identifying patterns – they needed ‘Augmented skills’ to make that information accessible to members of the public (and Council workers and Air Traffic controllers and Shipping agents) and many other people, as to what that particular weather system was going to be like in their area and at what time. They have to know how to ‘de-jargonise’ the material and provide succinct, clear, and yet temperate, descriptions without ever appearing exasperated, impatient or judgmental in response to sometimes quite silly questions. For a highly trained scientist – that can be counter-intuitive. Being Philosophical... and a wee bit pretentious At the risk of being a little Philosophical (and probably a wee bit pretentious) – in my own role of Trainer – my core skills have to include – being a very good communicator, an active listener and have innovative and engaging ways to convert an idea, or a model, into practical application that my Delegates and Clients gain tangible benefits from. This is how it applies to me... I really enjoy composing short, light classical-style piano pieces. Now, to do this well, you need to be able to find a transition from one chord or melody to a different theme or key. It has to be worked out very carefully to have incremental transitions and pleasant-sounding developments as the piece unfolds. I think I have become better at this as I have honed my skills as a composer. But I have realized that these very same skills have ‘Augmented’ my ability to help a Manager, or a Team, move from a state of conflict; tension; disfunction; disenfranchisement; lack of confidence to a place that is more harmonious with far greater productivity. The very same process of careful listening, considering options, taking well-considered steps, having a creative, sometimes brave, move towards a resolution are at play in both Training and Piano Compositions!

Lastly, you’ll no longer wonder, “what if?” You’ll have the knowledge and understanding to keep unlocking and growing your business’s true potential. WHAT'S INCLUDED IN THE PROGRAMME Course Overview As we’ve mentioned, our business management course is designed to be completed over three months, with two courses being released monthly. These are designed to be done on Zoom or in person and are flexible around your busy schedule. Our modules were created to be easy to understand while providing the resources needed to elevate your construction business. Here is a more in-depth look at what to expect from our modules: Module 1: The C.O.D.E Breaker: The Business FundamentalsThis module will encourage you to deep dive into your why and break the business C.O.D.E. You’ll be shown the importance of knowing why you started the business, how you can build a business while remaining authentic, and what needs to be done to ensure you create and support a solid foundation moving forward. During this module, you’ll discover how to successfully build a business in the construction industry, from the fundamentals and foundations to the growth. Lastly, we’ll review your vision, values, and purpose, show why these are critical areas, and allow you to establish a real business for you and your customers. Module 2: Your M.E.N.T.A.L Agility: The Entrepreneurial Mindset With this module, we’ll focus on self-leadership and how you should constantly be developing the ‘inner game’ or minder and the ‘outer game’ or action. The inner game consists of intention, self-awareness, self-confidence, and self-efficacy. These must be used to achieve personal mastery, while the outer game consists of influence and impact. M.E.N.T.A.L. agility is your key to all success and failure, meaning that without leading yourself, you’ll never find business success. For us, your M.E.N.T.A.L. agility is made of five key components that enable you to transition from owning a business to thinking and planning like an entrepreneurial business owner. Module 3: The T.I.M.E Multiple: Working ON or Working IN The point of this module is to help you understand that you can’t manage your time; you can only manage your use of time or your self-management skills. It’s vital to have strong self-management skills to be more successful at work. We’ll explore ways to help maximise your time and identify your High Payoff Activities. The T.I.M.E. multiplier is about accepting that you cannot do everything yourself. Instead, it would be best if you focused on your high-payoff activities. Our goal is to teach you to say it’s okay to say no. We’ll show you the importance of recognising the significance of all your decisions. Along with that, we focus on unique planning and defining processes to bring the future into the present. Module 4: The Business P.R.O.B.E: The Numbers Game Understanding your finances is essential as it allows you to make informed decisions that have the potential to make significant impacts on your business, growth, and even your bottom line. We want you never to leave money on the table again. When you know the difference between markup and margin, fixed and variable costs can make the difference between owning a business and the business owning you. Understanding your business numbers will increase your revenue and profitability and even grow your business. Module 5: High-Performance T.E.A.M.S: The Well-Oiled High-performing teams are more than a group that works together. A high-performing team has clear priorities and purposes and shares an understanding of how each team member or subcontractor prefers to approach work. The foundation of a high-performing team or business starts with trust. The development starts with creating an environment where leaders and team members can openly disclose which strengths they feel they bring to a team and what support they need to be their best selves. Truth is that all people’s problems directly reflect the business owner’s leadership and management. When a team doesn’t do things your way, they probably have no idea what your way is. Module 6: G.O.A.L.S: Setting & Defining the Accountability System Everyone works best with clearly defined goals, from completing a refurb on a budget or growing your construction business to over 10M annual profit. Remember the old saying, through a goal with a plan, is just a wish! We’ll teach you our tried and tested process for setting and achieving your objectives by focusing on what matters most. Reviewing your daily, weekly, and monthly goals, we can help you make high performance a habit. Best of all, you’ll create a detailed 12-month business development plan to get your personal and professional goals moving in the right direction.

When it comes to writing a research paper, the discussion chapter is where the magic happens. It's not just about presenting your findings; it's about showcasing them in a way that resonates with your audience. You want to take your readers on a journey through your research, helping them understand not just the results but their significance as well. In this article, I’ll share some essential tips on how to effectively showcase your research in the discussion chapter, ensuring that your hard work gets the recognition it deserves. Understanding the Discussion Chapter Definition and Role So, what exactly is the discussion chapter? Think of it as the heart of your research paper. Here, you interpret and analyze your results, linking them back to your research questions. It’s the section where you reveal the implications of your findings and discuss their relevance in the broader context of your field. If you’re wondering how to navigate this crucial part, check out our guide on How To Write a Dissertation Discussion for a detailed approach. Differences from Other Chapters Unlike the results chapter, which focuses on presenting data, the discussion is where you dive deeper into what those results mean. It’s about connecting the dots and making sense of the numbers. You’re not just stating what you found; you’re telling a story about why it matters. Structuring Your Discussion Organizing Key Points A well-structured discussion is crucial for effectively showcasing your research. Start by organizing your key points logically. This might mean discussing each research question in turn or grouping findings by theme. Whatever structure you choose, ensure it flows naturally from one point to the next. Using Subheadings Don’t underestimate the power of subheadings. They guide your reader through your discussion, making it easier to follow your train of thought. Subheadings also break up the text, making your discussion more visually appealing. Interpreting Your Findings Analyzing Results Now comes the fun part: interpreting your findings. Take a close look at your results and analyze them thoroughly. What trends do you see? Are there any surprising outcomes? This is your chance to showcase your critical thinking skills and provide insights that go beyond the data. Linking to Research Questions Always link your interpretations back to your research questions. This creates a cohesive narrative and reinforces the significance of your work. By showing how your findings answer these questions, you strengthen your argument and highlight the relevance of your research. Contextualizing Your Research Comparing with Previous Studies To truly showcase your research, it’s essential to place it within the context of existing literature. Compare your findings with previous studies and discuss how they align or diverge. This not only shows your understanding of the field but also underscores the contributions your research makes to the ongoing conversation. Highlighting Unique Contributions Don’t be shy about highlighting what makes your research unique. What new perspectives or insights do you bring to the table? By emphasizing these contributions, you demonstrate the value of your work and why it deserves attention. Discussing Implications Practical Applications What can your findings be used for in the real world? Discussing practical applications is a great way to showcase the impact of your research. Whether it’s informing policy decisions, guiding future research, or improving practices in your field, make sure to highlight these implications. Theoretical Implications In addition to practical applications, consider the theoretical implications of your research. How does it contribute to existing theories or frameworks? Discussing these implications can elevate your work and showcase your understanding of the broader context. Addressing Limitations Acknowledging Weaknesses Every research project has its limitations. Acknowledging these weaknesses shows integrity and a nuanced understanding of your work. Discuss what limitations might affect the interpretation of your results and how they could be addressed in future research. Suggestions for Future Research Don’t just stop at acknowledging limitations—offer suggestions for future research. What questions remain unanswered? What directions could future studies take? This not only demonstrates your critical thinking but also positions your work as a stepping stone for others. Using Visual Aids Charts and Graphs Visual aids can be a powerful tool for showcasing your research. Use charts, graphs, or tables to present your data in a way that’s easy to understand. Visuals can help highlight key findings and make complex information more digestible. Effective Data Presentation Ensure that your visuals are clear and well-labeled. A confusing graph can detract from your discussion rather than enhance it. Take the time to present your data effectively, and your readers will appreciate the effort. Incorporating Feedback Utilizing Peer Reviews Feedback from peers can be invaluable when writing your discussion chapter. Don’t hesitate to seek out input from colleagues or mentors. Their insights can help you refine your arguments and enhance the clarity of your writing. Adjustments Based on Critiques Once you receive feedback, be open to making adjustments. Sometimes, outside perspectives can reveal blind spots in your reasoning or highlight areas for improvement that you might not have considered. Engaging Your Audience Writing Style and Tone Your writing style plays a significant role in engaging your audience. Aim for a conversational tone that invites readers in. Avoid jargon where possible, and strive for clarity in your explanations. Rhetorical Questions for Engagement Using rhetorical questions can be an effective way to engage your readers. It prompts them to think critically about the points you’re making and can make your discussion feel more interactive. Proofreading and Editing Importance of Clarity Once you’ve drafted your discussion, take the time to proofread and edit. Clarity is key; a well-written discussion is much easier to follow. Check for grammatical errors, awkward phrasing, and ensure your arguments flow logically. Common Mistakes to Avoid Watch out for common pitfalls, such as over-explaining or being too vague. Aim for a balance that conveys your insights without overwhelming your reader. Conclusion In conclusion, showcasing your research in the discussion chapter is all about clarity, context, and engagement. By structuring your discussion thoughtfully, interpreting your findings, and addressing limitations, you can effectively communicate the significance of your research. Remember, this is your chance to shine and demonstrate the value of your hard work. FAQs What is the purpose of the discussion chapter? The discussion chapter interprets the results of your research, linking them back to your research questions and placing them in the context of existing literature. How do I interpret my findings effectively? Analyze your results, identify trends, and connect them back to your research questions to demonstrate their significance. Should I include limitations in my research? Yes, acknowledging limitations shows integrity and a nuanced understanding of your work. It also opens up avenues for future research. How can I make my discussion engaging? Use a conversational tone, incorporate rhetorical questions, and structure your arguments clearly to keep your audience interested. What are common pitfalls to avoid in this chapter? Be cautious of over-explaining, using jargon, or failing to connect your findings back to your research questions.
