PEOPLETRACK EMPATHISES WITH MARIST CONVENT SCHOOL

PeopleTrack, the sales and management training company, has been praised for the Empathy-based training it has provided for teachers at Marist Convent Senior School in Sunninghill, Berkshire. The school acclaimed the half-day workshop as “first class staff training”.

PeopleTrack was introduced to the school’s Headteacher, Karl McCloskey, at an Education Business Partnership meeting. The company explained how its Empathy Programme identifies seven personality types. It shows teachers the most effective way of working with each type and how to relate to them and teach them.

Two of PeopleTrack’s accredited trainers - Jim Wigg and Tony Robinson - subsequently visited the school and ran a half-day workshop for 55 teachers. The teachers were shown how to spot each personality type, including learning which type they were themselves, and were shown their strengths and weaknesses.

The workshop proved to be highly successful. Karl McCloskey commented: “The team were dynamic and even managed to energise the staff on their first day back after the Easter holidays! Tony and Jim took us through the programme carefully, sensitively and appropriately. The feedback I have received formally and informally has been very positive and appreciative in every sense.”
