A new series of bespoke training courses promises a sea change in approaches to professional development by focusing on the importance of human behavioural patterns and psychology in business. Developed with an eye on corporate sales team performance, programmes are also open to individual executives.
The idea of combining life and fitness coaching with personality testing, sales training and tailored business support, is the brainchild of veteran entrepreneur Dave Manners, who has made a hobby of transforming company start-ups into market leaders with £45 million plus turnovers in the last two decades.
Asked whether fitness coaching really is necessary for better training performance, Manners told fmindustry.com: "If people are really intent on cultivating their minds they must never underestimate the importance of physical wellbeing. Put simply, a stronger, fitter and more agile physique is the key to a stronger, fitter and more agile mind".
Different days are dedicated to developing different core competencies and skillset, with Mind & Body days tackling physical barriers to better mental performance, and Personal Services days offering a broad life coaching programme focused on personal and business ambitions.
The Popular Sales Training days which Manners describes as designed to "get business booming", begin with discussions about commitment-based selling, business ethics, and personal motivation, before offering practical guidance and advice on body language and cold-calling techniques.
Business consulting in areas such as general operations, accounting and financial reporting, sales team organisation, and customer relationship management, is also offered to management personnel requiring a helping hand.
Manners is a firm believer in making informed life choices and says: "It's not our conditions but our decisions that shape reality".
Moreover, he argues the real value of his training courses is their ability to "implore clients to make the right decisions and empower themselves with the skills, knowledge and confidence required to optimise their personal potential".
The new, holistic approach to training is certainly winning fans, with one attendee from a corporate property background describing his course as a "wonderful alternative to the usual, drab corporate training events"!
