Incorporating machine learning into data pipelines increases the ability to extract insights from data. This course covers ways machine learning can be included in data pipelines on Google Cloud. For little to no customization, this course covers AutoML. For more tailored machine learning capabilities, this course introduces Notebooks and BigQuery machine learning (BigQuery ML). Also, this course covers how to productionalize machine learning solutions by using Vertex AI.
Using Story to Communicate, Influence and Lead More Effectively
In many organisations, communication is clear but not always compelling.
Leaders share information, present updates, and explain decisions, yet messages do not always land in a way that engages people or drives action.
The challenge is not usually a lack of content. It is a lack of structure, connection, and clarity in how that content is communicated.
Storytelling provides a practical way to address this.
It is not about performance or presentation style. It is about structuring communication so that people can understand, relate, and respond more effectively.
This course introduces a structured approach to storytelling that helps leaders and managers communicate with greater impact, improve engagement, and strengthen their ability to influence outcomes.
Participants will learn how to turn everyday communication into messages that are clearer, more memorable, and more effective.

Developing Clear, Structured and Effective Strategic Thinking
Effective strategy is not just about setting long-term goals. It is about making clear decisions, aligning priorities, and creating a structured approach to achieving outcomes.
Many organisations struggle with strategy because it can feel abstract or disconnected from day-to-day work.
Without a clear framework, strategy often becomes unclear, inconsistent, or difficult to implement.
This course provides a practical introduction to strategic planning and commonly used frameworks, helping participants develop a more structured approach to thinking, planning, and decision-making.
Participants will learn how to break down strategy into clear components, apply proven frameworks, and align strategic thinking with real business objectives.
The focus is on making strategy practical, structured, and applicable in real organisational contexts.

Handling Conflict Constructively and Strengthening Working Relationships
Conflict is a natural part of working life, particularly in fast-paced or high-pressure environments.
When handled poorly, conflict can damage relationships, reduce productivity, and create long-term tension within teams. However, when managed effectively, it can lead to better understanding, stronger relationships, and improved outcomes.
Many people either avoid conflict or approach it in a way that escalates the situation. This course provides a practical approach to handling conflict in a calm, structured, and constructive way.
Participants will learn how to recognise different types of conflict, understand underlying causes, and respond in a way that supports resolution rather than escalation.
1 Day Instructor-Led Training
Building Confidence, Influence and Better Outcomes in Negotiation
Negotiation is a critical skill in many professional roles, yet it is often approached without a clear structure or strategy.
Whether negotiating with clients, suppliers, stakeholders, or colleagues, the ability to reach outcomes that are both effective and sustainable is essential.
Many people associate negotiation with conflict or confrontation. In reality, successful negotiation is about preparation, communication, and understanding how to create value for all parties involved.
This course provides a practical framework for developing confident, structured, and effective negotiation skills.
Participants will learn how to prepare properly, manage conversations, handle challenges, and achieve outcomes that support both immediate goals and long-term relationships.
1 Day Instructor-Led Training
Creating Cohesive, Engaged and High-Performing Teams
Strong teams do not happen by accident. They are built through clear leadership, effective communication, and a shared sense of purpose.
Many teams struggle with issues such as lack of alignment, poor communication, unclear roles, or low engagement. Over time, this can impact performance, morale, and overall effectiveness.
This course provides a practical approach to building and developing teams that are cohesive, engaged, and high-performing.
Participants will learn how to strengthen team dynamics, improve collaboration, and create an environment where individuals can perform at their best.
The focus is on developing the skills needed to build teams that work effectively together and deliver consistent results.

Leading Distributed Teams with Clarity, Engagement and Performance
Managing remote and virtual teams presents a different set of challenges compared to traditional, co-located teams.
Without regular face-to-face interaction, leaders need to be more deliberate in how they communicate, manage performance, and maintain engagement.
Common challenges include reduced visibility, communication gaps, lack of alignment, and difficulty maintaining team cohesion.
This course provides a practical framework for managing remote and virtual teams effectively, helping participants develop the skills required to lead with clarity, structure, and confidence in a distributed environment.
Participants will learn how to improve communication, maintain accountability, and build strong team relationships despite physical distance.
The focus is on creating effective, engaged, and high-performing remote teams.

Understanding What Drives Performance, Engagement and Results
Motivating people is one of the most important responsibilities of any manager or leader.
However, motivation is not a one-size-fits-all approach. What drives one individual may not work for another, and relying on assumptions can lead to disengagement and reduced performance.
Effective motivation requires an understanding of individual drivers, team dynamics, and the environment in which people work.
This course provides a practical approach to motivating individuals and teams, helping participants understand what influences behaviour and how to create the conditions for sustained engagement and performance.
Participants will learn how to move beyond generic approaches and develop a more targeted, practical, and consistent way of motivating people.
The focus is on real workplace application, enabling participants to improve both individual performance and team effectiveness.
