Open Workshops

what a difference a day makes

2011 Calendar (below) will have all of our most successful workshops and in addition there will be lots more workshops delivered by new specialists on new subjects, continuing to give you competitive edge. Courses are held in Limerick and Dublin.

 

But first, it's not what we say...........

Just a quick note to say that the CKA Members programme is proving to be a great success for us and the feedback I have been getting from my team who have attended courses has been fantastic.  The workshops scheduled for the coming months are exactly what we need right now and i am looking forward to attending one or two myself. Thanks to you and all the team for providing this excellent programme.

Hi Grace and Linda,  I heard great feedback from the Wedding Sales Workshop held in Galway during the week.  Both Norma and Celine returned very buzzed up from the ideas that were generated and positivity emanating from the event.   Continued success & many thanks.    Regards Ray

The CKA Experience - first of all, we are not a training company and we are not an off the shelf one size fits all company.

If you need to tick boxes we are not for you.

If you want to make change, we are.

If passion, excellence, fun, learning and wisdom appeal to you and fit your needs then you might just be at the right place.

If you want to make a difference and grow your future then read on;

 

 

What is the unique CKA Experience?

 

  • Some people call our workshops ‘training courses’ but they are not, they run much deeper than that.
  • They are fuelled by experience, passion and a desire to help you make change a reality.
  • They are interactive because we know the value of meeting like minded professionals.
  • They are challenging because your comfort zone is not the place to get fit, wisdom fit.
  • We limit numbers and we are really fussy about who we let in.
  • We mentor, intervene and all with a cheerful sense of fun.
  • They are interesting because we know how to make time fly, engage with you and help you prosper.
  • They are rewarding because everything you learn makes a difference and quickly.
  • They are unique because we write, develop and own all our own material.
  • They are lively, fun and full of wisdom. Why? Because we have a track record, the experience and pocket full of quotes to say just that.
  • They are measurable, effective, clear and dynamic. Why? Because most training courses are dull, standard and don’t invite your view, your wisdom and your learning. We do.
  • Most of all, they are fun because that is the only environment that people learn, grow and prosper.

 

 

 

We could go on but our workshops are something you need to experience to understand.

Better still, read what our members say and look at who they are and notice that they are already successful, leaders and at the top of their tree.

Now ask yourself one question (before writing a cheque) are we what you want?

Are you who we want?

Let’s talk.
