Transactional Analysis for Trainers

Transactional Analysis (TA) is an incredibly powerful tool that has many applications for the trainer and coach. As a development tool it can be used on almost any interpersonal skills course and is invaluable in helping anyone (trainers and participants alike) explore their behaviours and motives. This workshop gives every trainer an essential grounding in the key TA concepts; how to incorporate them effectively into a programme''s design and how to use them on your own programmes.
