“Arlo has helped us to grow as a business and allows us to focus on creating high quality training. We can’t imagine being without it.”
Our three key takeaways
Values-led quality training can transform lives
Values-led quality training is training that values people in the room, thanks them for the work they’re doing, teaches them the skills, morals and values to really work with the people accessing their services. While some of our essential services are struggling – police, probation, local authorities, teachers, NHS charity workers – and the systems need an overhaul, values-led training is something that can be done today, immediately. Values-led training has the power to transform the lives of frontline professionals who are delivering life-changing services, and it has the power to transform the lives of the people that are receiving these services.
Poorly delivered training is a waste of time, money and opportunity
People too often talk about training that is lackluster, boring and not engaging, and not relatable to them. The shocking truth is that thousands of hours and pounds of taxpayers money are wasted every year by poorly delivered training.
Connected personal expertise makes training more relatable
A recent feedback survey from one of Tammy’s training courses showed that 100% of delegates believe training that is delivered by someone with either connected personal expertise or connected professional expertise makes training more relatable. The skills they learned were able to be put into practice the very next day.
