Northgate says...

"The Profile Cards for Aneesha and Lucas are supplied in TWO versions. For both versions, the issue that needs addressing (the text) is identical but the images of the person are different. You can give teams different images and at the end ask how much does a person's appearance influence our perception of the issue."

A ‘big thanks’ to you for all the great help that you gave earlier this month when I needed a quick turnaround on the ‘Difficult Conversations’ activity for one of my clients. I really appreciated how quickly you responded and all the help that you gave me. It was all done so brilliantly on your part that the session went really well and the fact that I was able to use the scenarios from the ‘Difficult Conversations’ pack really made a lot of difference.

'Difficult Conversations' works really well for us.

Our participants found the 'Difficult Conversations' training activity very useful both in approaches for people they manage, also with our external stakeholders. Two (of our four) NMC values are ‘We are fair’ and ‘We are kind’ and the activity aligned really well to those values. Particularly the approach to listening and empathy. I have been using Northgate activities for around 7 years and have always found them effective and high quality.

The 'Difficult Conversations' activity came at just the right time for us as we were designing a People Management course which included having difficult conversations. The case studies and role play generated valuable discussions and the delegates commented that the “Planning A Conversation” guide was a handy tool they would use again in the future.
