We Believe in the Power of Personal Interaction

Whilst there is no denying that technology can enhance learning, the downside is that it loses the value of personal interaction. A surge in the evolution of technological solutions, social media platforms and Artificial Intelligence has created a virtual environment where the success of teaching and learning increasingly relies on people’s ability to use their phones, tablets or computers. The value of personal presentation and instruction is sadly being forgotten, and the ability of individuals to engage audiences is becoming a lost art.

Whilst embracing technology, we believe that presenting information in person, and physically delivering instruction to others should be core attributes of any aspiring manager with responsibility for others. Unfortunately, the overuse of online collaboration and messaging software has created a default virtual management environment, and the prospect of communicating in person to audiences of any kind can put some into a state of anxiety.

Prism Training believes in the enduring power of presenting in person and the effectiveness of good instruction delivered face to face, and that training in these areas can be an extremely effective way to overcome personal confidence barriers.  Individuals that learn to effectively communicate in person to groups of people create a wider spectrum of opportunity for themselves, and the companies that employ such individuals benefit from a more self-assured, confident and proactive workforce.

These are the concepts on which we have developed our Value Proposition and which form the foundation of our mission to readdress the basics of effective presentation and instruction and in doing so to help people break through confidence barriers.

Prism Training will be going live very soon. If you would like to be kept informed, please register your interest using the form via the ‘Register Your Interest’ in the menu at the top of the page.

Tony was a Training Officer in the British Army before entering the teaching profession. His study of the military methods of instruction prompted him to find ways of how those methods might be adapted to suit the classroom environment – a  project he managed to great effect in some of the most challenging of schools environments.  He remained in teaching for 13 years before leaving to go into business. Tony has been designing and delivering training programmes for companies for the past 20 years.
