Our Flexible Training Options
We offer a range of flexible training options, including personalised coaching and interactive workshops, designed to align with your current strategies and business objectives. Whether you prefer in-person sessions, blended learning, or fully online training, we tailor our approach to meet the unique needs of your team and business.
Graham knows that real results come from truly understanding your team—how they think, work, and connect. That’s why his coaching goes beyond a one-size-fits-all approach. By spending time with each person individually, he tailors development to different learning styles and personalities, building a stronger, more cohesive team.
Face-to-face sessions are just one powerful part of the process. Graham also works with your managers to ensure full buy-in—because when leadership is aligned, the benefits flow through the whole organisation. His goal? To help you build a team that grows with you for the long term, built on trust, honesty, and shared success.
Real learning is about revisiting and applying key messages over time. but lasting change happens in the follow-up. That’s where BLAST shines.
Short, targeted Zoom sessions — weekly, fortnightly, or monthly — keep your team connected to the learning without taking them off the floor. It’s all about frequency, feedback, and flexibility to maintain momentum, track progress, and celebrate wins.
Graham also adds regular onsite visits — monthly or quarterly, for one or two days — to build rapport and deliver in-person coaching. He works alongside your people on the phone, on the floor, in the yard, or the service lane, even over breakfast meetings, to get a genuine feel for your business and team dynamic.
BLAST blends the consistency of virtual learning with the impact of hands-on coaching — making skills stick, culture thrive, and results follow.
Coaching & Mentoring: Unlocking People, Unlocking Potential
When people grow, organisations thrive. Coaching sparks fresh thinking and ownership; mentoring provides guidance and wisdom. Together, they build confidence, capability, and a culture where talent can truly shine.
Everyone has untapped potential — sometimes they just need the right support to find it. Coaching creates a safe, supportive space for discovery and ownership, while mentoring shares wisdom to guide the way forward. The result? People who feel valued, confident, and motivated to give their best.
Let’s unlock potential together.
Behavioural modelling provides a framework through which to consider not only your behavioural characteristics, but also the behaviour of the people you interact with. In turn this provides you with a crystal ball through which to consider how you may react under different circumstances and how best to interact with others.

My first introduction with Graham was back in March13, 2015. From this training enrolment, myself and our staff have continued to participate in his courses when available. He always brings an exceptional high level of enthusiasm and his ability to transfer his knowledge in a training environment to all those that participate is outstanding.
The stand out to me has been the key fact that Graham has a genuine interest in the people he is training and wanting to help them succeed.
