Course provider history
The Skillstudio training concept was established early in 2000 by Liz Banks and Martin MacLeod (both now Directors of Skillstudio Limited.) It was very clear to both of them that in this 21st century age of computerisation, globalisation and rapid business reorganisation, that highly effective personal communication skills were still an absolute requirement for success in almost all aspects of business life. Liz’s career began in the performing arts industry. In addition to her business training experience, she is a qualified teacher and a trained classical dancer and actor. Liz brings with her over 16 years training experience in drama, presentation skills, communications skills and vocal development. It was Liz's unique combination of experience that has led to Skillstudio's use of many new training techniques that over the past four years have been proven to work time and time again. As a result, Skillstudio has now built up an exemplorary record for training and coaching people at all levels in many aspects of personal communication. From business presenting and public speaking through to confidence building, vocal development, elocution and accent softening. Being a specialist training company, we eat, drink and breathe presentation and communication skills training. We are passionate about drawing out the best in people. Skillstudio promotes equality of opportunity in all of its training programmes. Our vision is that the workshop training should provide each delegate with the ability to fulfil their potential and to have their contributions equally valued and respected.
