There are two key roles in your company which if you develop them well will impact on your entire workforce;
​Managers and Trainers!

​"The most important single ingredient in the formula of success is knowing how to get along with people." Teddy Roosevelt. (American politician, soldier, conservationist, naturalist, historian, and writer)
 
I love a good quote, here’s another one...  “Develop the people, who develop your people.”  Nikie Forster. (L&D Consultant)  Yes, I know it’s a bit weird to quote yourself, but I truly believe that when you focus on the Managers and Trainers in a business, they can impact of your entire workforce.

Management Development

Many MANAGERS find themselves promoted into a managerial role because they were good at their previous role.  But managing yourself and managing others are two very different sets of skills. A recent survey showed that more than a quarter of managers have never had any formal training on how to manage people, and this has impacted on their desire to stay with their current company. (Digits 2021)   

Supporting your managers, new and/or experienced with focused development on people and communication skills, is a vital part of a successful business… and doing this in a creative, fun, and purposeful way helps these new skills stick, making it more transferable back to the workplace. ​​
“I adore Nikie and her teaching style, I thought the course would be informative and teach me the basics, but it was so much more than this. Her teaching style was so refreshing as I was engaged the whole time making me think so much deeper into each subject.  Having completed my course, we asked Nikie to come back and train eight more people... She makes learning enjoyable and stimulating which is rare, I would highly recommend her and the work she does.”   ​Beth Ash - Production Manager

Learning & Development

Often TRAINERS start out as either subject matter experts who are asked to share their knowledge with others, or employees who have an innate desire to help others learn. Whichever path they have taken, one thing is universal, learning professionals are life long learners.

I love working with other L&D professionals to share creative learning techniques, and others methods such as LEGO® Serious Play®.  Working either face-to-face or via my online courses... there's something for everyone.​
"Attended a fantastic session this morning on creative training ideas with the inspiring Nikie Forster of Curious Lighthouse.   ​Sessions like these rekindle my love of teaching and remind me why I do it!  Nikie can make any topic fun, thought-provoking and effective, at any level of a corporation. Invest in your people and get her involved!"   ​Sara Ellul - Business Tutor

I have sooooo many ideas, it seems rude not to share them with other learning professionals. From digital download of using LEGO in your sessions, from Creative learning cards and much more.  
"The Creative Learning Cards are absolutely amazing and the experience is WOW.  I used with 4 different generations. The insights are really commendable. One picture different stories..."   M Azeem Saheer - Facilitator, EQ Leadership Coach
