I just returned from the first Provocative Change Works training hosted by the Performance Partnership in London. This was an exceptionally well promoted and organized training and it was a real pleasure to work with a group that asked some many smart questions. Many folks will know that I run PCW trainings all over the globe and have some terrific hosts. I have also had some experiences where workshop hosts made a simple task ridiculously hard work! The London training was held in central London and ran from 10 – 7pm. It’s always a good sign when all the attendees arrive on time and I see a fully functioning PA. Both David Shepherd the owner of TPP share a love of hi fidelity and it’s great to see that this attention to audio translates to live events. The mics and speakers for the training are topnotch, in stark contrast to one overseas training when on day one we had to stop for 90 minutes to sort out technical issues!
David’s PA Sally Davies deserves a special mention for such great attention in organizing this training. Often people attending trainings don’t fully appreciate just how much work is involved in making these workshops possible. The attention to detail was excellent right down to organizing meals. This kind of planning makes it so much easier for the trainer, who can then focus 100% on the training. Sally, welcome to the select group (mostly gals) from around the planet who know how to plan and organize Provocative Change Works Trainings!
During this three day event almost everyone attending asked me about the possibility of running a level two training. I directed everyone to speak to Sally and David and being the smart folks that they are, they asked for dates on day three. This is a sign of a smart promoter. Instead of “thinking about another training” or “planning to speak sometime soon” we put the dates in the diary, promoted it to those in the room and took bookings! Common sense? Yes you would think so wouldn’t you, BUT I can give examples of when during a level 1 training 90% of the group asked for a level 2 and the host did NOTHING to get commitment there and then!
We have now firm dates for another level one training in November and level 2 training in March 2016. We are also about to confirm dates for a 3 day level 3 training, so London folks would have the chance for PCW certification
