Which Way do You Eat Your Banana?

BRADFORD ON AVON, England, November 24 - A strange question you might think, but sometimes we all tick to the same
habitual beat without trying something different. That's why Gavin and Wendie
at Think Training & Development take a practical approach to their personal
and management development programmes.

Trainees from more than 10 countries are turning to Think for a breath of
fresh air and pragmatic approach to communication and personal development
training. Whilst the media scaremonger with news of job cuts, company
closures, and reduced salaries, many forward thinking companies realise that
at times like this, you need your staff to be firing on all cylinders. By
investing in communication, leadership and personal development training,
companies can increase staff morale and reap the rewards through increased
energy, motivation and productivity.

Gavin uses an approach that stimulates thought and debate amongst his
trainees. That's where the banana story comes from. Gavin says, "If what
you're doing is working really well, keep doing it. If it's not working, try
something different. Try turning your banana round and opening it the other
way, it might be easier. Most people I meet aren't quite getting the result
they want, but they keep trying the same thing and are confused about why
it's not working. "

This is just one of the techniques Gavin and Wendie use in their training
sessions. There are a range of courses on offer, including training in Myers
Briggs ( www.thinktd.co.uk/myers-briggs.html ) personality types; the
world renowned, psychological tool to help you understand yourself and others
and bring about improved performance. There are also communication,
leadership, team skills, advanced sales & presentation skills and executive
coaching courses. The new website has free podcasts on coaching, motivation
and…how do you open your banana? Over the coming months the audio section
will be expanded to cover a full range of simple to use and easy to apply
personal and management training sessions.
