Annie Litchfield delivering leadership & management training

We provide East Midlands businesses with practical training for managers, supervisors, and team leaders. As you’d expect, our management, HR, wellbeing, and people skills courses are designed and delivered by a highly qualified, experienced, and accredited team of experts. But since we also run a multi-award winning HR consultancy, we actually do all the things we talk about in our training, on a day-to-day basis out there in the real-world. As a result, we can adopt a down-to-earth and business focused approach within our courses, bringing theory to life by drawing on numerous interesting cases that we have ourselves personally dealt with.

So, rather than boring you with a load of dull hypothetical academic talk, we’ll instead show you the best practical ways to effectively deal with the types of tricky management issues that you’re likely to really face within your workplace. Which means that our training fully involves participants through interactive exercises, case studies, and Q&A sessions. No ‘death by PowerPoint’ here!

We supply the full lifecycle of training services, all the way from initial pre-training needs analysis to post-training evaluations and follow-up support. We can deliver our management training in whatever format best suits you, ranging from single off-the-shelf bite-sized webinars to bespoke programmes of full-day classroom based sessions with comprehensive follow-up support. We don’t view our training as simply an end in itself, but rather as an effective tool for helping your business get to where it wants to go.

Don’t just take our word for it!

Enjoyable, knowledgeable and skill developing training

The training had me engaged throughout. A lot to take in but all very interesting and useful. Especially liked ways to manage difficult conversations and looking at the storm model and update my own methods! Very much liked the three steps to accelerate trust as a tool. Thoroughly enjoyed ‘The menti metre’ as it was great looking directly at results in the moment to get an example of shared beliefs and understanding how important our own values are when being authentic leaders! Great course and would recommend it to others.

Useful course

This was a useful course covering some well known and less well known issues in discrimination. It’s interesting to see the views on the differences between banter, bullying and harassment. This is a massive subject, quite contentious in many ways and open to much debate but the course aims to set the ground rules and increase awareness in the workplace.

Great Training Session!

Sarah and Annie work well as a team and they delivered an exceptional session regarding conflict resolution and mediation skills. They provided us with a lot of information, but also kept everyone engaged by doing group activities. What I enjoyed the most was the fact that it wasn’t just another boring reading of PowerPoint Presentation, but a wealth of knowledge and engagement from both trainers. No question too difficult and a day well spent!

Thank you for equipping me with a lot of knowledge and I look forward to seeing you soon!

Completing the Mental Health First Aider training was truly transformative. Our instructors, Annie and Tayla, were not only knowledgeable but also incredibly supportive and compassionate. They created a safe space for learning, encouraging open discussions, and equipping us with practical tools for mental health support.I was deeply impressed by their dedication to reducing stigma and promoting mental wellness.If you’re considering this qualification, I highly recommend reaching out to Annie and Tayla for further information. They are exceptional educators who genuinely care about empowering others in mental health advocacy.

I really enjoyed the Critical Thinking and Decision Making Workshop I attended recently. Tayla’s presentation and the additional information will definitely help me within my role and move my skills forward. Thank you very much Tayla 🙂

I attended a Mental Health First Aid course ran by Annie. She was a brilliant trainer and very good at facilitating the course and encouraging everyone to get involved in the discussions. I would definitely recommend Annie and Loates Management Training.

I attended a training session with Sarah which focussed on recruiting the right person. Sarah was extremely knowledgeable and gave me some useful tips and advice on not only the process of recruitment but the legal pitfalls to avoid during this process.

We have been engaged with Loates HR for the past six months on both training provision and HR services. Our experience has been first class, with both services delivered professionally with a friendly and engaging approach that makes the relationship feel less like client/contractor and more colleague/colleague. Our training solution is a bespoke arrangement for first-line managers and we have been impressed with the attention taken to ensure that all content is evidenced and up-to-date and delivered in a way that encourages engagement and therefore learning. I would highly recommend.
