The North East Academy for Chief Executives, Directors Forum speaker in September was Christine Marsh who facilitated an excellent group interactive workshop on “Unblocking the Pipework“.
The experiential learning workshop examined many areas of where communication breaks down and caused blockages and techniques for avoiding and resolving them. Christine delivered many examples and case studies centred around empowerment and motivation techniques using excellent hand outs and practical models.
In summary, the key experiential learning points included:-
- The relationship between motivation and skills to provide a return on enthusiasm,
- How to use personality traits to your advantage,
- Using assertiveness with facts and without your emotions spilling over to achieve positive outcomes process,
- How to turn stress into a positive energy,

Christine’s approach was a highly interactive and relaxed workshop. We examined many areas of where communication breaks down- causing a blockage- and how to avoid and resolve them. Christine delivered many examples and case studies centred around empowerment and motivation techniques using excellent hand outs and practical models.
