for the discerning

📌 As the year winds down, so do our attention spans — especially in hybrid sessions!

📌 Half the team’s in the room, half online, and everyone’s half thinking about mince pies and mulled wine. 😄

💡 Have you tried these?
✅ Assigning an “online champion” to keep the chat lively and inclusive
✅ Alternate voices — let remote and in-person participants take turns
✅ Keeping your eye contact shared between the screen and the room; both deserve your presence

✨ Pro Tip: By December, people crave connection more than content. Hybrid success is 80 % prep, 20 % tech luck, and 100 % human warmth.

❓ What other tips do you have to share for a successful Hybrid Session this season❓

Hello, December 🌟 Hello You!

✔️ This month isn’t just about endings — it’s about discovery.

✔️ As the year winds down, let's take time to rediscover what really matters.

💫 Discover the magic in…
🔸Putting our feet up. Rest is productive, too.
🔸Giving to ourselves, not just gifts, but grace and time.
🔸Sharing food, because connection often happens around a table.
🔸Being joyful. Choosing laughter, lightness, and gratitude, even in small moments.

Let’s finish the year softly — with warmth, kindness, and appreciation for how far we’ve come.

💬 Question: What’s one simple thing you want to discover again this December?

Testimoni

Lily was a great Trainer. She had a nice warmth and a good way of communicating and explaining within this group where all of us were non-native English speakers.

👉Mentoring Matters: This weeks inspiration

“A mentor is someone who allows you to see the hope inside yourself.” – Oprah Winfrey

In my book, mentoring is about guidance, not control. It’s about helping someone see their potential more clearly.

It can also be confused with coaching and they may often overlap.

❓ What makes a good mentor?
👉 Someone who listens, asks questions, and shares wisdom without taking over.
✨ Reflection: Who could you mentor—or seek mentorship from—this week? Sometimes the right mentor shows up at just the right time to spark transformation.

- Flipchart vs Laptop

💡PowerPoint might crash, but a flipchart never freezes!

💡Some of my best sessions happened when tech failed — and creativity kicked in. There’s something beautifully simple about marker pens and fresh paper.

💡 Fun fact: Writing by hand activates more of the brain than typing, improving memory and creativity.

: Behind Every Great Session 🙌

📌 Today, my gratitude goes to the unsung heroes — HR and L&D professionals who keep training programmes running smoothly.

📌From finding the right venue to ensuring every name tag is spelled correctly, they’re the heartbeat of learning. Let's not forget the snacks too because these can make or break a session for sure.

📌Without their care, commitment, and calmness under pressure, no session would feel seamless.

✨Growth Through Challenge - This week's inspiration✨

“Growth and comfort do not often coexist, in harmony.”

I've found the best training outcome is when we stretch people—just enough to feel challenged, but not so much they shut down. It's about finding the balance where they find that edge of slight discomfort.

❓ Why do we resist stepping outside our comfort zone?

👉 Because it feels risky?

✨ I believe it's where the most powerful transformations happen.

✨ Reflection: Where will you stretch yourself this week? Growth doesn’t happen in the shadows of comfort—it happens at the edges where challenge meets courage.

The “Mute Button” in Real Life 😂

📌I’ve led so many virtual sessions, I keep wishing for a “mute all” button in real life. 🎤🙈

There’s always the enthusiastic debater, the side whisperer, and the secret email checker. But once engaged, they often become the stars of the show!

💡 fact: Active participation boosts learning retention by over 60% — so I’ll take a bit of chatter any day.

❓ Question: What’s your funniest virtual meeting or training moment?

Confidence in Action 🌟

📌 One of my favourite pieces of feedback recently came from a delegate who said:

⏩“Your session gave me the confidence to finally share my ideas at work. And guess what they were accepted!”

⏩ That one line stopped me in my tracks. Confidence isn’t something you give people — it’s something you help them find in themselves.

💬 What’s one confidence breakthrough you’ve witnessed — in your team, a colleague, or yourself?

✔️Active Listening is more than the latest Corporate jargon

✔️It's Listening Beyond Words

After many years, I’ve learnt that people say far more with their tone, silence, or body language than their words

💡 The best trainers don’t just hear — they listen to what isn’t being said and for me, it's all about listening with your eyes.

💬 This week, who might need you to listen a little deeper

To customise or not to customise? Some tips & tricks: ▶️

Every L&D professional knows the struggle of balancing bespoke design with time, budget, and expectations.

It’s tempting to re-use last year’s slides and swap a few logos, but participants often know when training feels copy-pasted. Real impact comes from customisation with purpose.

💡 Have you tried these?

✅ Keeping core models consistent, but changing examples to fit their industry or culture
✅ Beginning with a quick discovery call — one conversation can shape relevance
✅ Asking the client, “What’s keeping your people up at night?” Then design around that

✨ Pro Tip: You don’t need to reinvent the wheel — just connect your content to their world.

Customisation shows care, not just creativity, because tailored training always fits better.

💬 Question: How do you balance personalisation with practicality in your training design?

👉 Communication IS... Everything... This week's inspiration

“Great communication is the bridge between Chaos and Clarity.”

☑️Clarity is my third leadership value.

Without it, even the best strategies fall apart.
With it, people feel confident and aligned.

✨ Reflection: Where could you bring more clarity this week? Leaders who prioritise clear communication set their teams up for success.
