This training session is delivered by Dr Sabina Strachan of how2glu for the South West Doctoral Training Partnership, who have kindly invited six GUDTP students to join them. We greatly appreciate this offer and the opportunity presented to our scholars to network and collaborate with their peers from the SWDTP.
This participative workshop will help you to identify and develop key consultancy skills, practical approaches to developing client relationships, and workshop common issues.
First, we will look at drivers and prospective client / partner expectations and the characteristics of successful client-consultant / partner-advisor relationships.
We will then focus on essential ‘soft’ skills for consultancy – communication, flexibility and collaboration. You will identify your strengths and areas for growth and explore strategies to develop and utilise these skills.
During the session you will use glucard™ tools to help you identify ways of ‘adding value’ and ways to build / translate relationships for ‘upselling’, repeat business and recommendations. Sabina will graphically illustrate concepts and demonstrate tools by sharing live visualisations.
We will discuss common issues in consultancy and workshop ways to overcome them. We will use real examples and methods that are accessible, visual and hands on and mindful of the present context that will help you develop consultancy skills and opportunities.
Registration will remain open until Tuesday 3rd June. Places will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, and once places are full, we will maintain a waiting list.
Those allocated a place will be notified by-email between Wednesday 4th and Friday 6th June 2025.
Please register only if you are certain of your availability and commitment to attend.
