Why Canning? Because our training actually works.

Most training is safe. Present a list of tools, tips and ideas to a group of participants, give them a chance to practise, congratulate them for doing it right. This is teaching in. There’s nothing unique about it. Nothing tailored to the group. And it doesn't help intelligent people improve their communication skills.

Instead, we teach out. We get people communicating early. Then give them feedback on what was good, what wasn’t, and what was missing. That’s where skills - techniques applied under pressure - come from. Skills that are unique to the person and the people in the group.

That’s how people actually change and improve the way they communicate.

It’s all about doing something better.

The whole point of doing training with us is to be better at something - or lots of things - by the end of it. Make a more powerful pitch. Write with a more appealing tone. Negotiate better deals. Defuse tension in the team. How do you measure that? If you actually do training with us, you’ll know because you’ll spend the whole time discovering and perfecting skills that you can use straightaway.

If you’re organising training - you’re in L&D or it’s for your team - you probably want guarantees. We get feedback of course from the participants. We can talk to you. That way we can agree that good things are happening in the training. But to really know if it’s making a difference, we can involve stakeholders. So if you’re trying to get people to make better presentations to steering committees, let’s talk to the steering committees. Do they think your people are presenting more clearly, more engagingly, more powerfully? That’s how you’ll know it’s really working.

We understand the complex world of international communication.

Most of the people we train communicate across borders of language and culture. Our trainers speak multiple languages, have lived in different countries and go from country to country delivering training. We understand that great communication in one culture may not work in another. We can help people communicate better in international contexts.
