How will the briefings be presented?
We have a mixture of in-person and ZOOM webinars. The webinars over Zoom have been well attended and feedback has been that leaders have found these as useful as our face-to-face briefings. Delegates have time at the end of each session to raise questions or email for advice. As you may know, because it is a webinar, delegates will not be on screen (or heard) in the meeting and all privacy is maintained.
Our face to face briefings take place in easily accessible venues with ample parking.
Ongoing support
Included in the price of each termly briefing, delegates receive:
-
a weekly update (or more frequent if required) containing the most immediate or actionable information for the whole of that term
-
any time-essential updates via email
-
Direct support from Andrew Pilmore with any questions or issues answered within 24-48 hours
