You may have heard the saying, 'There is no I in the team'! Well, we beg to differ. We ask leaders and managers to focus on the individuals in the team so that they get the most out of the whole team.
This thinking comes from our belief in Emotional Intelligence (EI). With EI, you can reach for the sky, but without EI, your dreams will die. If team members are unaware (or don’t care) that their behaviour negatively impacts others, they will continue to behave like that. When we become self-aware, we have the opportunity to behave differently, which is a really important moment as the team needs to know how to encourage this positive behaviour.
High-performing teams (HPTs) are united in their approach. No one is left behind, everyone is vigilant of each other, and mental health check-ins are a daily ritual, not just a task. This level of cohesion is not a coincidence but a result of leaders and managers fostering a culture of care and support within a psychologically safe environment.
HPTs operate as a collective unit, with minimal need for a Team Manager or Leader. They share a common concern for each other, driven by the shared objective of achieving team-based goals and outputs. This collective responsibility is a testament to their mutual support and shared accountability.
There may well be individual tasks or even KPIs, but they will all work collaboratively to ensure that everyone works well together, that no one slacks or repeats mistakes and that any of them will step in to help with workloads when they can without being asked.
Our workshop examines all the ingredients of the HPT, reverse engineers the recipe, and discusses each aspect, leaving everyone with a clear picture of how to create and maintain their own HPT.

Why? All leaders and managers must fully understand the hard work and challenges involved in creating and maintaining a high-performing team (HPT).
Ask yourself: Why do some teams seem chaotic, dysfunctional, ill-tempered, and full of infighting? Answer: Their manager/leader does not know how to fix their people's behaviour. 
This workshop will give leaders and managers the tools they need to create HPTs. However, it will take hard work, commitment, and an assertive mindset from the leader/manager and the whole team.

Workshop delivery and venue
This workshop, which usually lasts one day, focuses solely on how we build and maintain HPTs.
However, it can be a two-day event incorporating aspects of Emotional Intelligence (EI), Communicating Effectively, and Managing My Day with group and individual activities to allow discussion.
When you consider the content we deliver, we are sure you will understand why we always prefer to deliver our workshops, courses and programmes face-to-face.
Face-to-face workshops and courses can be held at a location of your choice or, if you wish, a central UK location, such as the Macdonald Burlington Hotel in Birmingham, located directly across from the Birmingham New Street train station.
We can deliver our workshops, courses and programmes online, although this will mean splitting elements into manageable learning events to suit the online environment.

In the US alone, it has been estimated that the cost of unnecessary meetings and wasted time is over $35 billion!
Many executives feel overwhelmed by meetings, and no wonder: On average, they spend nearly 23 hours a week in them, up from less than 10 hours in the 1960s. Moreover, the meetings are often poorly timed, badly run, or both. Quote from Harvard Revue 2017. 
Our Managing Meetings workshop looks at the common reasons for meetings that give some attendees little or no value. It identifies the efficiency killers and works to understand what causes each issue and what possible solutions we can come up with to discuss and plan to experiment with back in the workplace. 
During the day, we invite every member to play a crucial role, conduct a meeting, and analyse the short meeting. Once we have done this, we collaboratively plan the next version of the meeting and use some of the tools we incorporate into the day to feel the impact and reap the benefits. Your input is invaluable as we do not work in your environment.
By following the meeting structure and guidelines we provide, you will not only enjoy efficient and effective meetings, but also see a significant boost in productivity and a reduction in unnecessary meeting time. The benefits are real and tangible.





LENGTH - Normally one day. But please get in touch with us to discuss your specific needs, or we can offer advice.  
NEXT WORKSHOP START - Please ask for more information as we deliver bespoke closed events for your people at your location or a mutually suitable location.
WORKSHOP DELIVERY - The best environment for this workshop is face-to-face, but we can facilitate this workshop online.



Suitability - Who should attend?
Who Should Attend and Why?
Who? - This is generally for Leaders and Managers so they can pass on the skills and tools to ensure their direct reports learn how to manage an efficient and effective meeting.
Why? Meetings are expensive. You only have to take a weekly meeting you attend, calculate the time by each person's hourly pay, and then sit down to recover.
Inefficient meetings waste time and money and frequently annoy people. They can also badly affect their productivity, and then they get told off for not being more productive!
Help your people be more efficient in meetings. Get what’s required out of each one and stop the ones that are not required at all.
Workshop Content
Why is Emotional Intelligence a key aspect of how we approach meetings?
What are the main reasons for planning or being invited to a meeting?
How do we plan the time required for a meeting?
What do we do in a meeting, and in what order?
How do we know when someone is talking too much, and what can be done about it?
How can we make each person's time at a meeting more efficient?
How can we ensure all the points from the last meeting were actioned before the next meeting?
We look at our Meeting Structure and Attendee Roles to help manage future meetings.
Workshop delivery and venue
When you consider the content we deliver, we are sure you will understand why we always prefer to deliver our workshops, courses and programmes face-to-face.
Face-to-face workshops and courses can be held at a location of your choice or, if you wish, a central UK location, such as the Macdonald Burlington Hotel in Birmingham, located directly across from the Birmingham New Street train station.
We can deliver our workshops, courses and programmes online, although this will mean splitting elements into manageable learning events to suit the online environment.

Most of us have experienced death by PowerPoint presentations, where the presenter, with the best intentions, puts up slide after slide slides that they read word for word to the audience already reading them.
We argue that it is not so much the presenter's fault but the fault of most people's idea of what a presentation should look like. We are here to change that.
If you ask most people how they learned to deliver a presentation, it was through their boss or a colleague and not in a more reasoned and educational setting such as one of our sessions.
Ask yourself… 'What do I want this presentation to do'? Is it to inform, persuade, sell a product or service, or sell impending change to our people? Whatever it is, we help you design and plan your presentation to meet that need to attain the ideal result.
However, we have a unique approach to presenting that stops the presenter from being solely responsible for persuading their audience but instead gets the audience to persuade themselves. 
We discuss the neuroscience behind our fickle brains and help you understand how to use that to truly engage your audience and make them do the thinking and reasoning.
We help you design activities and even tests (I know it sounds odd, doesn’t it) to help the people in your audience understand why what you are saying is so important and how they have decided that their thinking about what you are saying is correct.

Training Course Content
Defining the goal of your presentation.
What makes an excellent presenter and an excellent presentation?
The 'Do’s' and 'Don’ts' of presenting.
Neuroscience, presentations and Sat Nav Presenters!
We demonstrate an example presentation versus our interactive session for engagement.
Using our presentation planner to plan a presentation and what to consider.
Using the right question techniques in the right way.
Experiment by delivering a short presentation to the group.
Workshop delivery and venue
Day one will cover all the ingredients for delivering a great presentation, including discussing the ingredients and our presentation planner. We will also discuss our interactive methodology and have plenty of time to discuss topics and ask questions.
We suggest at least one week between the two days to give people time to prepare and rehearse for the final day when they give a short presentation on a topic of their choice. 
On day two, the attendees will deliver their planned sessions as an experiment to experience our methodology. 
When you consider the content we deliver, we are sure you will understand why we always prefer to deliver our workshops, courses and programmes face-to-face.
Face-to-face workshops and courses can be held at a location of your choice, or, if you wish, we can use a central UK location at the Macdonald Burlington Hotel in Birmingham, located directly across from the Birmingham New Street train station.
We can deliver our workshops, courses and programmes online, although this will mean splitting elements into manageable learning events to suit the online environment.

LaPD Solutions is passionate about the skills required to transfer Skills, Knowledge and Understanding (SKU) to others.
We believe that trainers should not lecture their learners but instead use our tools to engage, interest, and even challenge them, making them inquisitive about the learning and able to reason out the new SKU to keep their brains engaged.
Our three to five-day course compares the lecture-based delivery that most trainers use to deliver their training to our Engagement Methodology and explains why it is significantly better for learning and retention.
We use the same session structure in our methodology to deliver these courses. Our CET structure is not rigid but rather adaptable to the dynamic situations trainers often find themselves in, especially when time is tight. This flexibility empowers trainers to deliver effective training regardless of the circumstances.
We discuss why question techniques are an incredibly powerful tool in the art of engaging our learners, and we look at when we should use specific techniques and even when we should not. We give time to practice this key skill, but please note that the three-day course has limited time for this crucial practice. The three-day version of this course is designed exclusively for experienced trainers, recognising their expertise and the experience they have acquired. Including inexperienced trainers is unfair to them or others on their course.
A comprehensive course manual (100+ pages) is supplied and used throughout the course to ensure attendees can find their way around and ask questions as they wish.

Who? - ANYONE involved in transferring Skills, Knowledge and Understanding (SKU)
People who are brand new into training - 5 days.
People who will be taking up a training role soon - 5 days.
Experienced trainers and facilitators (ideally two years) who want to adapt their current delivery style to our interactive and engagement methodology - 3 days.
People whose primary role is not training but will deliver training occasionally - 2 days.
Why? If you want your trainers to deliver engaging training that helps their attendees learn and retain new skills, knowledge, and understanding (SKU), then ensure they have been given the proper training to do just that.
Show your clients that you have invested in your trainers by ensuring they are all certified to deliver training and that their delivery is monitored and assessed to maintain those standards.
If you expect high standards of training in your organisation and given to your clients, then ensure you have the tools to do that and the ability for your senior trainers to assess their peers to ensure the consistency of quality, the monitoring of standards and the continuous development of all your trainers and facilitators.
Training Course Content
What is a Sat-Nav trainer, and why must we avoid this at all costs?
We discuss our recommended session structure and why it is designed that way.
We examine different question techniques and discuss what each is good for or why it should be avoided.
We look at our Task Based Objectives (TBOs) and discuss various reasons why they should be adopted.
We touch on learning styles to see what you think of each and how we can cater to them.
We take a good look at our SAS feedback model and why we think it must be facilitated and not given.
We help you plan and prepare for your final session for the last day using our Script Writing Guide.
We discuss why Emotional Intelligence is a must-have in your trainer's toolbox.
Attendees deliver their final mini sessions. We record them (HD). We offer one-on-one feedback. We chat as a group.
Course delivery and venue
When you consider the content we deliver, we are sure you will understand why we always prefer to deliver our workshops, courses and programmes face-to-face.
Face-to-face workshops and courses can be held at a location of your choice or, if you wish, a central UK location, such as the Macdonald Burlington Hotel in Birmingham, located directly across from the Birmingham New Street train station.
We can deliver our workshops, courses and programmes online, although this will mean splitting elements into manageable learning events to suit the online environment.
The three-day course is split into two parts. The first two days are together, then the third day a week (or more) later. This gives attendees time to plan, prepare and practice before delivering their final recorded sessions.
The five-day course is not required to be split as practice time is built into the 4th day. However, if it suits organisations better, we can accommodate a split between the fourth and fifth days.

This workshop/course introduces people (of any industry or position) to Emotional Intelligence (EI).
We ask you to complete a short EI self-assessment questionnaire to take away and use for your personal development.
We then introduce the ingredients of EI and chat about why they are essential, what they aim to achieve, and why they are critical to “clean” communication across the whole organisation.
We ask you to consider our Moccasin Approach® and our EI Tree® and why they are tools for the future success of internal and external communication.
We link EI to organisational culture and the inherent responsibility we all have to make our workplace culture the type that retains our people, attracts great people to join our organisation, and is a culture that we are proud to talk about because it is truly lived (not just a flag-waving exercise). 
We look at Empathy, how it works, why it is different from sympathy, and how we must all use it in our daily communication with others.
We discuss how personal styles and preferences (even bias) are critical to everyday communication.
We examine the word trust and discuss its meaning, how we can gain and maintain it, and why consistency is one of our favourite words regarding the element of trust.
We ask you to consider our thinking around 'Change Champions' and Best Practice Managers' to help create high-performing teams and cross-team collaboration and support. 



LENGTH - For more information about duration, please get in touch with us to discuss your specific needs, or we can offer advice.  
NEXT WORKSHOP START - Please ask for more information as we deliver bespoke closed events for your people at your location or a mutually suitable location.
WORKSHOP DELIVERY - The best environment for this workshop is face-to-face, but we can facilitate this workshop online.



Suitability - Who should attend?
Who? 
Everyone you employ, including your associate or external consultants.
Why? 
Every person needs to understand how EI works, what it takes to get it right, why it is essential and how it helps anyone develop new, better and more meaningful relationships.
The ultimate goal of EI is to create the best possible working relationships and Psychological Safety so that we can communicate "cleanly" without worrying about getting in trouble for sharing our thoughts and opinions.
By the way, EI is just as powerful at home, socially, and with our children. We can add Socratic questions to the mix to help us impact others' thinking.

Content
'Belief creates reality' and 'Creating reality out of possibility.'
The EI Tree®
Values, behaviours, ES2, and creating saboteurs!
How our Moccasin Approach® thinking helps us understand the world of others and cater for differences.
Our ARCHWAY Approach® thinking around Responsibility - Accountability – Duty of Care.
EI Self-assessment - The ingredients of EI.
The empathy stool and the types of empathy.
EI and how it helps 'Change Champions' and 'BPM’s'
Reflections, thoughts, findings and goals (individual and team).
Workshop delivery and venue
This Workshop is usually one day in duration but can be a two-day event with group and individual case study work to allow discussions about the various thoughts we all have about EI.
When you consider the content we deliver, we are sure you will understand why we always prefer to deliver our workshops, courses and programmes face-to-face.
Face-to-face workshops and courses can be held at a location of your choice or, if you wish, a central UK location such as the Macdonald Burlington Hotel in Birmingham, located directly across from the Birmingham New Street train station.

Our Moccasin Manager and our Moccasin Approach offer a unique perspective on understanding and addressing management challenges, paving the way for positive change. It's important to note that this is not a quick fix but a journey that requires commitment, effort, proactive teamwork, measurement, responsibility, and accountability from your organisation.
In this interactive workshop, your managers will have the opportunity to share their management challenges, concerns, worries, and hopes. Together, we will explore how our approaches can help identify and address these issues and discuss strategies for implementation.

Suitability - Who should attend?
Who Should Attend and Why?
Who? - This is for any level of Manager or Leader (regardless of hierarchical position) and those expected to step into managerial or leadership roles in the next 12 to 18 months.
Why? - From our experience, most new managers and leaders are rarely given proper management or leadership training before their first appointment. If you think about it, this is inviting problems! How can you expect someone to step up from being one of the team to managing the team (or another team) without proper training?
Very few organisations do this, but those who continue to do this for all their rising talent say it produces benefits and helps everything work smoothly. They would not continue to run these programmes with us if it were not.
When asked why they have these programmes annually, they mostly say it gives prospective managers and leaders the understanding of how to deal with people and understand how everyone else will be managing and leading their people too. They also want them to have time to practice the skills before they take up their new positions.
Managers need to know how to manage people, which means understanding how people are different, how they want to be treated, and how they do not want to be treated. This may seem common sense until you bring in the organisation's culture.

“Our dilemma is that we hate change and love it at the same time. 
What we really want is for things to remain the same but get better.”
Sydney J. Harris - American journalist. (1917 – 1986).

Change is constant in our lives, yet our ability to resist it, avoid or even stop it is also constant. But why? And how do we fix this?
This workshop examines the many challenges change brings and identifies the various types of people in a change process. We will brainstorm all the possible reasons for resistance to change and discuss our experiences with those who were resistant to the idea of change. 
We then look to work positively on solving or at least reducing all the negative aspects of change and positioning change in a far more positive light. 
In some cases, the impending change will upset pretty much everyone in the organisation, and we need to know how to mitigate its impacts. In fact, we need to understand how sometimes we can agree with most people's thinking, understand their resistance and negativity, and still be able to turn things around to prove that the change needs to happen.
Changes will happen, and whilst we can’t remove all the negatives from each person's perspective, we can plan, prepare, and manage change surprisingly well when we have the tools and processes to do so.
Always remember to get your people to think about the long game.



LENGTH - Usually one day. For more information about duration, please get in touch with us to discuss your specific needs, or we can offer advice.  
NEXT WORKSHOP START - Please ask for more information as we deliver bespoke closed events for your people at your location or a mutually suitable location.

Suitability - Who should attend?
Who Should Attend and Why?
Who? - All Leaders and Managers who have to manage change.
Why? - Change is costly, and if you’re going to spend money and use resources, you need to ensure you get the best ROI possible. When change impacts many of your people, it may be unwelcome and unwanted, but if it is right for the organisation, you need to know how to position it, advertise it, and sell it.
Don’t hide away from those who push back against change. Come along and chat with us to understand how those who push against change can be your greatest ally as you plan and prepare the whole organisation for the impending journey of change.

This workshop is designed to examine how we care for our customers. We do this by identifying many aspects of many customers and using data from those attending our workshops.
We also look at types of customers, how they usually behave, and how we can negatively impact them through careless interactions or positively through careful communication, consideration, and using an "ACE"—Approach with Care and Empathy. 
We aim to see people leave our workshop with far better insights into customer-facing best practices and ideas to improve their training for customer-facing employees.



LENGTH - Normally, one day. But please contact us to discuss your specific needs, or we can offer advice.  
NEXT WORKSHOP START - Please ask for more information as we deliver bespoke closed events for your people at your location or a mutually suitable location.
WORKSHOP DELIVERY - The best environment for this workshop is face-to-face, but we can facilitate this workshop online.



Suitability - Who should attend?
Who Should Attend and Why?
Who? - Anyone involved in a customer-facing role or training their customer-facing staff.
Why? - The ultimate goal in customer-facing skills is to win lifelong customers by continuously managing customer relationships, to gain those lifelong customers.
Any business that can see a consistent issue with retaining customers is in for a tough time. But we ask you to go a step further by not just keeping customers happy but attracting new customers and focussing on retaining our high-impact customers.
Our thinking extends to 'Occupying our customer's consciousness.' A persistent fishing expedition to continually engage our customers, even when it is not to buy something. This engagement gives us an almost permanent inroad to their internal marketing, follow-on sales, recommendations, and loyalty.

Suitability - Who should attend?
Who Should Attend and Why?
Who? 
Anyone who works in a Learning Centre or other educational setting where the monitoring and coaching of learners may be required.
Why? 
One could argue that the perfect attendee in a Learning Centre is the one who comes in, manages everything by themselves and leaves without any need for assistance. If you have many of these, you are indeed blessed.
Turning your attention to the others who do occasionally or often need your assistance, these are the people we must feel confident we can manage in the right way.
Our informal approach to the course and to managing a Learning Centre and the learners who visit it will prepare even the newest Support Specialists for most situations within their working environment.
It is important that your learners complete their courses in good time, so ensuring people have the required skills means our completion rate should be excellent.
Training Course Content
We dip into Emotional Intelligence, what it is, its ingredients and how we can use it.
We ask all the Support Specialists to analyse everything you do to identify your many roles.
We discuss our SAS feedback model and help everyone understand why it is so powerful.
We discuss our Coaching Structure and how it can be adapted depending on the situation and learners' needs.
We investigate the issue of challenging learners, why they can be challenging and what approaches Support Specialists can take to manage this.
We discuss learner engagement and how we can motivate or demotivate people using our centres.
We discuss the many question techniques and their uses but focus on the Reasoning Questions for use in the coaching aspect of the last day and, more importantly, back in the centre.
Course delivery and venue
When you consider the content we deliver, we are sure you will understand why we always prefer to deliver our workshops, courses and programmes face-to-face.
Face-to-face workshops and courses can be held at a location of your choice or, if you wish, a central UK location, such as the Macdonald Burlington Hotel in Birmingham, located directly across from the Birmingham New Street train station.

LOOKING FOR: MG / YA / ADULT FICTION & NON-FICTION
Steven Evans is an Agent and the Company Manager at Eve White. He grew up in Newcastle upon Tyne and studied French & Italian at Queens’ College, Cambridge. After completing an MPhil in Comparative Film & Literature, Steven lived in Paris, where he worked as a university language assistant and a freelancer for various scouting agencies. He joined Eve White Literary Agency in 2021.
Steven reads fiction and non-fiction of all kinds. The non-fiction books he loves most often shed light on under-represented perspectives, communities and histories, while in fiction he seeks novels which might explore new ideas, challenge the reader or play with style, form, character and/or plot. Above all, he likes writing which has a sense of purpose, and likes to be taken by surprise.
Items on Steven's wish list might include:
Fiction (Adult) :
Crime/thriller – might be regional or with an unusual hook/high-concept. Might have a speculative element (think Stuart Turton). A spy thriller appeals. Cosy crime with an original setting/protagonist is also welcome.
Literary fiction – worlds, characters, perspectives and histories which haven’t been written about before. Might be formally or stylistically innovative (but with a sense of purpose that links back to the story/characters).
Historical fiction – themes and ideas relevant to our current moment are on the list. Might be revisionist.
Romance – contemporary: either very heartfelt, cosy, perhaps with older characters. Or, spicy, funny, tapping into current trends.
Horror – on the literary end, perhaps with a folk tale element.
Fiction (YA) :
Thrillers
Romance
Fiction (MG) :
Fun, historical adventure exploring contemporary issues. Might be tied into the national curriculum, though without being didactic.
Quirky detective/mystery series.
Funny and warm-hearted family-/relationship-based drama with a strong voice.
Non-fiction : Voice-driven narrative non-fiction ; memoir ; big ideas.
Most of all, Steven just loves to be taken into a world and surprised by what he reads!
Steven would like you to submit a short covering letter, 1 page synopsis and the first 5,000 words of your novel in a single Word document. 
(In addition to the paid sessions, Steven 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 and note that I Am In Print take no responsibility for the advice received during your agent meeting.
The submission deadline is: Thursday 30th January 2025
