Master time: Live life on your terms and get most out of it

This course provides you with the essentials on how to present to people, in one to ones, meetings and training sessions. You will improve the way you speak and present and learn how to deliver information more effectively - to make a lasting impact! What’s in it? There are two 'units' each consisting of 10 essential elements. They are delivered via a short video lesson (approximately 2 minutes) and accompanied by a pdf document with the explanatory notes. The course contains an implementation summary, with suggested advice and activities on how to implement the techniques and ideas in your role. The entire programme takes around one to two hours to complete (if done end-to-end) but you can access the elements in any order so they can be fitted in around a busy schedule. Ideally, you would utilise the materials when you have a real meeting or training ‘situation’ ahead of you, and then you can put some of the techniques into practice. Developing communication skills can make a huge difference to the effectiveness of your team or department - and those who will at some point in their career be running these sessions. These top tips and techniques can be adapted to help you improve your performance and get the best results from those lucky enough to be in front of you! Remember, you can get in touch to inquire about organising group or individual training sessions, either online or face to face!

It's also about developing awareness, and especially self-awareness - of the biases and prejudices to which we're all prone and which may skew our judgement.This course is designed to be highly engaging and accessible. I'm one of the world's leading popularizers of critical thinking and philosophy, with a reputation for explaining even complex ideas clearly.The course is grounded in some of the most up-to-date research and thinking.The course is unusual in that, while it covers the fundamentals - including cognitive biases, fallacies, and the basics of argumentation - it includes extra material students find particularly useful outside the classroom.Feeling stuck or confused?
