<h2>Decision Making and Problem Solving: In-House Training</h2>
 <p>We may live in an era of fast technology and increasing reliance upon automation, but our human abilities to think critically, make careful decisions, and solve nuanced problems are more important than ever. Our personal lives depend on those things, and so do the lives of our organizations. </p>
 <p>Since business is now conducted at remarkable speeds, we put our organizations at great risk daily when we have weak competencies with decision-making and problem-solving. Decisions and solutions that are executed impulsively and without structured approaches can create more problems or make existing ones worse!

General Admission

<h2>Introduction to Design Thinking: In-House Training</h2>
 <p>Innovation is the cornerstone of highly successful companies, especially those that continue to be successful over the years and decades. Design thinking practices fuel this continual innovation, as they are the critical links from inspiration to delivery, concept to showroom floor, and start-up to global business. Design thinking is a structured approach to promoting innovation and creative problem-solving. It is not a new approach. It has been around for centuries, as the art, architecture, and inventions of mankind illustrate. By examining the steps to achieving great design and maximum utility of product, design thinking approaches provide a framework in which to develop new solutions to problems and new products to sell.</p>
 <p>This highly interactive course is designed to help participants think like designers to generate innovation, and to help teams to produce more innovation and creativity. Since design thinking is based on doing rather than thinking, we participants are challenged to apply the techniques, in the classroom, to create new ideas and solutions to a case study project.</p><h3>What you will Learn</h3>

 <ul>
 <li>Explain the underlying principles and value of using Design Thinking for innovation</li>

		<h3>Description</h3>
		<p></p><p>The course supports leaders as they do two things. </p>
<ul>
<li>Harness the skills and energy of their people</li>
<li>Reduce the negative effects of over-centralization and micro-management.</li>
</ul>
<p>The content is designed to be thought-provoking and challenge ideas about the purpose of leadership.  It draws its inspiration from the concept of Mission Leadership, an idea which has its roots in military and emergency service leadership.  In Mission Leadership groups and individuals working for a leader are encouraged fully to understand the aims of their organization and their own critical role within it. As a result, they feel confident to act on their own initiative to achieve the mission. </p>
<p>The course is ideal for those who want to encourage initiative and decentralisation of authority and responsibility.</p>
<p>Join this course to engage with other leaders in discussing and developing the art of leadership. Develop new ideas, processes and assumptions with which to free up the people you lead and 'get stuff done'.</p>
<p><strong>Available as private Face to Face and virtual sessions (max 12 delegates) - £1,305 Plus VAT</strong></p>
<p></p>
	
		<h3>Modules/Lessons</h3>
		<p></p><p><strong>Module 1: The Theory</strong></p>
<p>What are we meant to be doing?  Working out the outputs.</p>
<p>Giving clear direction on what people should be doing.</p>
<p>Freeing people to do their best work.</p>
<p>Taking risks with people.</p>
<p>Developing people.</p>
<p><strong>Module 2: Making it Happen</strong></p>
<p>Practice giving Mission based instructions</p>
<p>Measuring success.</p>
<p>Supporting your people.</p>
<p>Why now? </p>
<p>Most organisations naturally respond to stress by centralizing power and authority. The greater the risks and the pressures, the more leaders feel that the only people they can trust to 'get stuff done' are themselves.  Eventually, those same leaders buckle under the stress because, it always turns out, that the boss cannot do it all.</p>
<p>During 2023 huge economic pressures will fight with the impacts of social, cultural and technological change to put a constant stream of new challenges on the shoulders of leaders.  There has probable never been a time when bosses feel under more pressure.  As a result the damaging effects of over-centralisation have never been more relevant.  Now is the moment to take some time and ask yourself, how can I make better use of my people?</p>
<p>Benefits?</p>
<p>Free yourself of the tendency to micro-manage.  You know you shouldn't do it.  Find a practical way to stop.</p>
<p>Help the people you lead to take responsibility, use their initiative and flourish as future leaders of your organization.</p>
<p>How?</p>
<p>Suitable for all leaders, but particularly those involved in complex operations and with large numbers of critical groups and individuals who must co-operate in pursuit of an overall goal.</p>
<p>Learn how to:</p>
<ul>
<li>give clear mission oriented instructions and to</li>
<li>give your people confidence that they can act on their initiative and with your support</li>
<li>manage the risk that results from giving your people their freedom to act</li>
</ul>
<p>Learn how to enable your people to:</p>
<ul>
<li>understand the mission and embrace their part in it</li>
<li>use their initiative and to take responsibility for their actions</li>
<li>build their confidence and independence</li>
<li>and manage their risk and that of the whole organization</li>
</ul>

<p>A crisis is defined as any situation that threatens to harm a person or property, disrupt business, negatively impact an organisation or damage its reputation.

You may even need to refresh the skills and thinking of the managers within your organisation. Whatever your need, Trainer Bubble provides you with a comprehensive crisis management training course to make your life easy.</p>
<p>Why is running this crisis management training course a good idea?</p>
<p>Well, just imagine if your participants were better able to:</p>
<p>●&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Identify the crisis vulnerability of your organisation.</p>
<p>●&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Put measures in place to limit the chance of a crisis occurring.</p>
<p>●&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Create a clear strategy for dealing with crisis when it happens.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Course Topics:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Types of Crisis &ndash; An examination of the types of crisis that can befall an organisation with an activity that begins to identify the crisis that could be specific to the participant&rsquo;s organisation. This is an excellent starting point to help participants understand the potential for crisis within their organisation and what vulnerabilities there are.</li>
<li>Stakeholder Identification &amp; Analysis &ndash; Crisis management is all about keeping stakeholders informed and engaged while mitigating the impact of the crisis on them. This session helps identify who the stakeholders are, how they need to be kept informed during a crisis and mapping the relationship.</li>
<li>Crisis Prevention &ndash; The best way to manage a crisis is to avoid it altogether. This section covers the different audit reviews an organisation should make. It also provides a structured audit review checklist document and allows the participants to practice its use. Where an audit review document already exists, the participants will be encouraged to review their own version.</li>
<li>Crisis Planning &ndash; Participants are provided with a structured list of the contents of a full crisis planning document, which explains each requirement, what should be included and why. They are also tested on this knowledge through key questions aimed at their understanding.</li>
<li>Crisis Strategy Checklist &ndash; This is a key document that should be included in with the crisis planning documentation. We provide this and review how to use it and what the benefits are.</li>
<li>Crisis Response &ndash; When crisis occurs, it&rsquo;s imperative that employees know how to respond. This session looks at the key elements to an effective crisis response.</li>
<li>Demonstrating Credibility &ndash; Using a simple process to identify what to say and how to say it.</li>
<li>Dealing with the Media &ndash; A key set of considerations to make when dealing with the media and a review of the alternatives to talking to the media.</li>
<li>Internal Communication &ndash; A key element that is often overlooked. Employees are a key stakeholder and should be kept informed during a crisis. Here we explain how.</li>
<li>Creating a Crisis Message &ndash; Providing a full description of the methodology behind formulating a crisis message, followed by a chance to create their own crisis message and review its effectiveness.</li>
<li>Crisis Recovery &ndash; What to do after the crisis has abated. Identifying the damage, knowing what steps to take next and taking a post-crisis review. This document is provided and participants get the chance to review and practice with this.</li>
<li>Online Reputation Management &ndash; Managing damaging information provided over the internet, dealing with social media and its influence and managing online threats to your organisation.</li>
<li>Crisis Practice &ndash; Case Study &ndash; Bringing all the skills together in an exploration of the crisis management process through the eyes of an organisation that went through this.

Within the basic four colour energies are contained two sets of opposites.
Underlying each pair of opposites there is a TENSION.
This tension acts like a force, just like gravity. You cannot see it, you cannot hear it or touch it with your hands. You will, however, experience the impact of the tension.
We each make a choice in how we perceive this tension. We can choose to be proactive and use this tension to create win/win outcomes. We can choose to be reactive and disconnect from the energy viewing it as a negative.
The choice we make determines our results.
It is important to remember, we make our own choice. The person who represents your opposite energy is not responsible for your choice.
When you’re proactive in engaging with this tension you achieve successful dynamics. Become reactive with this tension and you will experience dysfunctional dynamics.

The Opposite Colour Energies
Blue & Yellow are Opposite Colours
The tension between Blue energy & Yellow energy is based around IDEAS and PROCESSES.
Red & Green are Opposite Colours
The tension between Red energy & Green energy is based around TASKS and PEOPLE.

Graphic design can effectively be used by businesses to make (or break) their brand identity, increase sales, promote web traffic or promote services and products through advertising on their websites to convey complex data to its readers in a clear way.</p><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">Elements of graphic design include:&nbsp;<strong fr-original-style="" style="font-weight: 700; box-sizing: border-box;">Colour, Size, Texture, Line, Shape, Space and, Form</strong>. It is important that each element is understood correctly, and this is one of the key principles we teach on our graphic design course. In other terms, graphic design communicates certain ideas or messages through visuals. These visuals can be as simple as a business logo, or as complex as pages of web design. This course goes beyond just the practical side of graphic design and includes the theory and substance behind modern graphic design.<br fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><br fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;"></p><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;"><strong fr-original-style="" style="font-weight: 700; box-sizing: border-box;">Your teacher will guide you on:</strong></p><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">What salary you can expect at the start of your career?<br fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">How to get new clients for your business for freelance designers ?<br fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">How to find work for the new graphic designer starting out in the big world?<br fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">How to quickly integrate into the graphic design field?<br fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">How to combine working from home versus working at a studio ?</p></div><div data-id="9eeb2d6" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="text-editor.default" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style=" color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><br fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;"></div></div></section><section data-id="9dd6ca4" data-element_type="section" data-settings='{"background_background":"classic"}' style="color: rgb(74, 74, 74); box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style=" color: rgb(74, 74, 74);"><div data-id="c7b1c39" data-element_type="column" data-settings='{"background_background":"classic"}' fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><div data-id="d1226d1" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="heading.default" fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><h2 style="color: rgb(44, 132, 238); box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style=" color: rgb(44, 132, 238);">Begin one-to-one online learning with your very own private tutor</h2></div></div></section><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;"><img src="https://images.cademy.co.uk/0832ed64-c289-46fe-8a61-ae4fb9d9c688/14e85caa-6eee-4593-8ec3-48bdfc839153/original.webp" style="width: 698px; display: block; vertical-align: top; margin: 5px auto; text-align: center; cursor: auto; padding: 0px 1px; user-select: none; max-width: 100%; position: relative; box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style="width: 698px; display: block; vertical-align: top; margin: 5px auto; text-align: center; cursor: auto;" fr-original-class="fr-draggable"></p><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;"></p><hr fr-original-style="" style="border-color: var(--border-muted); border-style: solid; clear: both; break-after: page; user-select: none; box-sizing: border-box;"><br fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;"></p><div data-id="833cc17" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="heading.default" id="isPasted" fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><div data-id="833cc17" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="heading.default" style="color: rgb(74, 74, 74); box-sizing: border-box;" id="isPasted" fr-original-style=" color: rgb(74, 74, 74);"><h2 style="color: rgb(33, 33, 33); box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style=" color: rgb(33, 33, 33);">Interested?</h2></div><div data-id="63ead7e" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="text-editor.default" style="color: rgb(12, 12, 12); box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style=" color: rgb(12, 12, 12);"><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">Our course is 7 months long, consisting of 1 hour 30 minutes of online one-to-one sessions.

She always wants to be completely absorbed by the world of the novel, to jump into the character&rsquo;s life and be swept into the narrative as if she&rsquo;s been there all along. She&rsquo;s drawn in by compelling characters and relationships, and loves stories with a mystery or question at the heart of them. She&rsquo;s open to these ideas being explored in a variety of ways, but at the moment, she&rsquo;d particularly like to find an epic love story, a fun, queer rom-com with an unusual setting or pitch, and/or a sweeping family saga. She leans more towards contemporary settings but does enjoy a historical backdrop too.</span></p><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px;">In non-fiction, she&rsquo;s looking for narrative non-fiction, history from different perspectives and books that make complicated ideas around things like politics and literature more accessible. Her favourite type of non-fiction book is the one that makes you interested in something or someone you&rsquo;d never thought you would be. She&rsquo;d also love to find cookery and food books too, particularly cuisines that are less visible in the book world, or budget cooking.</span></p><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px;">She&rsquo;s not currently taking on YA, children&rsquo;s, fantasy or science fiction projects.</span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; color: var(--text); font-family: sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;" fr-original-style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; color: var(--text); font-family: sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;" fr-original-style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">Sian would like you to submit a covering letter, 1 - 2 page synopsis and the first three chapters (or 5,000 words) of your manuscript in a single word document.&nbsp;</strong></p><p id="isPasted" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; color: var(--text); font-family: sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;" fr-original-style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; color: var(--text); font-family: sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">(<em style="box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style="box-sizing: border-box;">In addition to the paid sessions, Sian is kindly offering one free session for low income/under-represented writers.

TWO SPACES LEFT! 8th November Amanda Preston #Agent121. Looking for: ADULT FICTION

LOOKING FOR: ADULT FICTION, NON-FICTION
Sian Ellis-Martin joined Blake Friedmann in 2018 and is building a list of fiction and non-fiction at the agency. 
With regards to fiction, Sian is looking for commercial, upmarket and accessible literary novels. She always wants to be completely absorbed by the world of the novel, to jump into the character’s life and be swept into the narrative as if she’s been there all along. She’s drawn in by compelling characters and relationships, and loves stories with a mystery or question at the heart of them. She’s open to these ideas being explored in a variety of ways, but at the moment, she’d particularly like to find an epic love story, a fun, queer rom-com with an unusual setting or pitch, and/or a sweeping family saga. She leans more towards contemporary settings but does enjoy a historical backdrop too.
In non-fiction, she’s looking for narrative non-fiction, history from different perspectives and books that make complicated ideas around things like politics and literature more accessible. Her favourite type of non-fiction book is the one that makes you interested in something or someone you’d never thought you would be. She’d also love to find cookery and food books too, particularly cuisines that are less visible in the book world, or budget cooking.
She’s not currently taking on YA, children’s, fantasy or science fiction projects.
Sian would like you to submit a covering letter, 1 - 2 page synopsis and the first three chapters (or 5,000 words) of your manuscript in a single word document. 
(In addition to the paid sessions, Sian is kindly offering one free session for low income/under-represented writers. Please email agent121@iaminprint.co.uk to apply, outlining your case for this option which is offered at the discretion of I Am In Print). 
By booking you understand you need to conduct an internet connection test with I Am In Print prior to the event. You also agree to email your material in one document to reach I Am In Print by the stated submission deadline 20and note that I Am In Print take no responsibility for the advice received during your agent meeting.
