Power Presentation
Joint Winner of the Arts & Business Cymru 2008 Arts, Business and Employees Award
Arup employed Act Now in 2006 to devise a course which would improve the presentation skills of graduate engineers. As a direct result of this, Arup Cardiff’s team won a prestigious UK presentation award. Arup has continued to work with Act Now since then with a variety of tailored courses for every level in the business.
“I would definitely recommend Act Now courses to others. Everyone who comes back from an Act Now course is highly motivated. These courses get the highest possible feedback rating of all the external courses we do.”
Hijinx Theatre
Transform Teams
Hijinx was keen to further develop its team and spend some quality time sharing good practice in a creative workshop environment as a springboard to future artistic activity. The aim of the training was to use the past as a touchstone for the future growth of the company.
“It was a rare chance for the company to work together in this way, as a team, not locked into our own roles – very equalising.”
