Approach & Benefits
Pam trains for results and finds she gets them by asking participants’ opinions about the subject being trained. She finds that once they get talking, they are more confident and engaged. She is then able to see, from what they say, where the problems lie in the organization, then she can advise CEOs of potential development strategies: it all links together like a street map.
Pam’s expertise has been evident in Human Resource courses, including CIPD qualifications, Leadership Development programmes, Women’s Empowerment & Leadership programmes, development of middle management, trainee management and newly appointed supervisory staff and executive and staff training for organizational mentoring programmes.
The benefits of Pam’s approach include:
- Working more effectively to give individuals exactly what they need to develop
- Being more able to see the bigger picture of the whole company and how it all interlocks
- Moving past just training individuals into identifying whole company developments

“We have worked with Pam on numerous projects since 2000. Most recently I worked with her on a series of Time Management and Prioritisation courses. Initially we were extremely sceptical about finding a competent trainer who would make a difference in the daily routine of our employees. Pam has changed our perception: she made a personalised diagnosis with the concerned managers and delivered tailor-made programmes on the specific problematics of each team. The impact of the training was strong, Pam is the only trainer hired by us who demonstrated outstanding persistence in her follow up with both employees and managers. This factor was key to the programme’s success.” Training Specialist Chalhoub Group
