Developing Confidence Training
Our developing confidence training is designed to give you ideas and strategies to develop your confidence, in the context of your work and organisation. This means that the content is tailored to your specific challenges in this workshop style training. Our experience with behavioural change is key to this session, in framing how confidence can be developed.
Confidence can be an issue for people at any level in an organisation. Feeling that you are in a role that exceeds your capability is very common. Even people at the very top of their game can experience a lack of confidence. This includes Golf’s world number one player Scottie Scheffler and singer songwriter Adele.
The specific content of our training is tailored to your needs. We do this through conversations with the training sponsor and with the participants, through our pre-workshop questionnaire.
Participants
This training can work for people at any level in the organisation. It can be useful to have a group of people at similar levels, so that they can discuss in twos or threes and share their experiences.
We recommend no more than twelve people participate in this workshop, whether it be in-person or virtual. This is because there needs to be time for each person to ask their questions and raise their issues with confidence.
Duration
The most effective option for the duration of our developing confidence training is a three hour session to cover the ideas and explore how they apply. Which is followed a few weeks later, by a two or three hour session to review how successfully the participants’ actions have been implemented.
Having said that the training works well as a stand alone half or full day session, which means three hours or six hours. Both work, but the longer a session the more time we have to drill down into the detail for each participant.

Outcomes
Each participant leaves the session with ideas, tips and strategies which they can implement to help them develop their confidence.
Pre-workshop
Participants complete a pre-workshop questionnaire asking them to define their specific challenges with confidence and objectives for the workshop.
Post workshop
Following the workshop participants have access to the trainer for follow up questions. You can also choose to arrange a virtual follow up session, which can take between 60-180 minutes.

In-person or virtual
This developing confidence training can be delivered in-person or virtually. Both work well, but with this kind of subject in-person is slightly easier and more effective.
Number of Participants
A maximum of twelve participants works well, but smaller numbers are good. That’s because the subject can be personal and people tend to be more comfortable in sharing their thoughts in smaller groups.
Tailoring the training to your needs
We tailor the content of this training in three ways:
- Discuss with you the objectives for the session and what you would like the outcomes to be.
- Ask the participants about their challenges and what they would like the training to achieve for their personal development.
- Tailoring the session during the workshop itself in a dynamic style based on the conversations that occur.
Developing Confidence Training in what?
Our training can help people with confidence issues in a wide variety of areas. This includes specific skill areas such as presenting to a group, virtual presentation skills, negotiating fees, or explaining legal strategies to seniors or clients.
It can also mean confidence in a more general sense. This can include feeling that you’ve been promoted beyond your competence, sensing that you don’t really know what you’re doing, or feeling that you are not competent for a specific task you have been asked to perform.
We don’t claim that our training will fix any and all of these challenges, but it will give food for thought, strategies to consider and we’ll help you to define specific actions where we can.

Personal Development Training (Negotiation Skills)
Martin is a fantastic trainer and easy to talk to. He makes the course easy to process and allows plenty of time to discuses anything you need clarifying. The course has been designed well and was adaptable to make it more relevant and personal to meet my target needs I was hoping to achieve.
I would recommend anyone to sign up for a course with Martin based of my personal experience and I look forward to working with him again within the future
A fantastic course
Thank you Martin for a fantastic workshop on Professional Business Communication. I have learnt a lot and found it very enjoyable. I have a lot to take away with me and will be trying your suggestions and tips going forward.
Martin Chapman

Professional Business Communication
It was very informative and engaging especially we have had the chance to do some role plays in the breakout rooms. Very helpful.
Inclusive and thought provoking
I really enjoyed the course and this was helped by having Martin Chapman.
He was really engaged with us all and ensured we remained engaged throughout. I took a couple of points away from the course, that I will be working on over the next couple of months. It was very interesting listening to different management styles and experiences from the other delegates.
As the team were so engaged and we were clearly enjoying the course, I wish to course was a little longer.
