I have used 'Talking to Staff!' in face-to-face training sessions and it was very effective and easy to facilitate. The feedback has been wonderful - my clients love Northgate activities, the learning outcomes are great and I love that the How to run this activity is explained for both face-to-face and virtual - that helps a lot.

I used 'Talking to Staff!' recently and it worked well. We used it as an assessment activity as we wanted to see the quality of the interaction between the groups. Our focus was to use the material as a basis for discussion and influencing and it did the job. We are now planning to use it in our Top Talent Programme, when the successful people attend their People Masterclass. We will debrief it with them to draw out more learning on how to handle conversations of this nature. I look forward to using it again!

'Talking to Staff!' is a great product that provokes discussion, consultation, collaboration, and learning. I have really enjoyed using it and found there is scope to use it however suits your situation, time and audience. The varied scenarios mean you can no doubt always find a problem that your audience may be faced with. I look forward to using it again next month!
