Putting Passion, Energy and Enthusiasm into Helping You Reach Your Professional and Personal Milestones and Your Organisation Develop Its Internal TalentWhat Do We Do?Milecastle Consultancy are a specialist training and development company with knowledge, expertise and commitment in the area of workplace personal development for women and older workers. Our particular focus is building confidence & self-esteem and helping people take control of their lives and plan for a successful future. Milecastle also provide personal development for men through the Navigator Men’s Development Programme and work in the areas of business skills training, general management and emotional intelligence. We also provide seminars and short talks and run interactive taster sessions at conferences and development days for women. As well as doing all of this we keep in touch with you through our newsletter Positive Energy, a monthly nudge full of useful hints and tips to keep you moving forwards. We also write regiularly on the subjects of positive thinking and aging positively in our blogs BlogPositive and Fresh Stepping. And then in our spare time we also write occasional articles for other media on areas relevant to the areas that we work in.
How Do We Do It?We all learn best when we are involved in a fun and stimulating environment. We deliver training to small and large groups and our work is always interactive, usually thought provoking and best of all, fun. Although there may be as many as 30 people on some of our larger courses the work is mainly done in small groups, pairs or threes. In that way you get to work closely with more of the people on your programme allowing for greater cross fertilisation of ideas. It is also less intimidating to share your thoughts on any topic with just a few people rather than the whole room. We can also learn a lot more as asking the same question of six groups will probably give us six different answers which then leads on to a healthy discussion! We adopt a facilitative style of training. We know that you are all bringing relevant life and work experience to courses and we will draw that out and allow you to build on it. Often you already know the answers and our job is to help you get there and look at how you are then going to apply this newly uncovered knowledge in your daily life or work. This is what people say about our training:
