Behaviour in the Workplace
Designed and delivered a two hour interactive training programme for Sales and Trading staff of a large international Bank which has subsequently been rolled out to all employees. The programme is delivered using a legally qualified facilitator and two professional actors. The actors will role play various office scenarios and the participants are invited to interview the actors in character and question their behaviour. This programme demonstrates the implications of inappropriate behaviour, raises awareness of employment legislation, identifies any litigation risk, highlights the possibility of personal as well as corporate liability and covers all areas of discrimination including direct and indirect discrimination.

Psychology of Trading, Dr. Brett Steenbarger
This unique programme was designed for traders to provide an understanding of the behavioural and emotional patterns that accompany risk taking which would enable participants to identify common pitfalls under conditions of heightened risk and what to do about them. Through participant self assessment, participants could recognise personality and cognitive strengths and weaknesses enabling them to cope better with risk, anxiety, threat and stress.

Competitor Mapping and Supplier Review
Conducted a competitor mapping of training and development initiatives across a select group of firms in London and New York. A supplier review was simultaneously completed to identify the best providers of training services for particular topics across both markets. The project provided a benchmarking for the client’s initiatives and budgeting as cost data was also included.

Equities Technical Training
A comprehensive technical training programme was designed for the entire European equities division in a global investment bank. Line management interviews were conducted and customised content utilising in-house resources was developed. The programme serves as a management and career tool. Following successful programme roll-out, the mandate was extended to New York.
