Skill enhancement : counsel and train your teams and associates, and offer them guidance in their professional development

At the Château des Broyers, your personnel can acquire and hone the potential necessary for meeting their current and future responsibilities. Here psychological and physical well-being is the watchword, with an emphasis on individual fulfilment. Our instructors welcome you as guests: we are very much aware that in addition to the handing-on of skills, the effectiveness and success of any training course depend on sincere, personalised contact and guidance.

Vision and skills

We believe in people. We believe in the potential and unlimited capacity of each human being. Our aim is to bring out this potential so that individual well-being contributes to company goals.
We feel that:
• atmosphere and spirit of place are factors conducive to this self-fulfilment.
• methods and techniques are useful and effective only when underpinned by a model of human behaviour.
• it is important that these two aspects complement each other, so as to ensure harmony in our activities here.

We believe that in the interests of increased efficiency, each company can and must reconcile personal growth and economic expansion.

Our team

Comprising three fulltime trainer-counsellors and a network of associates, the team prides itself on:
• several years' experience
• firsthand practical knowledge of the business world
• shared values and convictions

Training and counselling

Our courses target skills acquisition in the following areas:
• Strategic and operational management
• Personal efficiency within one's field of responsibility: managing one's schedule, handling projects, running meetings, public speaking, etc.
• Interpersonal communication: being a good communicator, asserting oneself, coping with stress and conflict, etc.
• Meeting client needs: sense of service, phone skills, dealing with written complaints, sales discussions, etc.
• Innovation: the innovation process, creativity, approaches to problem-solving
• Personalised guidance at team level: transfers, strategy development, changes, team creation, crisis management, etc.
• Personalised guidance one-to-one: with directors, managers, staff, etc.

Attention and guidance

As a response to participants' concrete needs, our training is of proven effectiveness. It is founded on three elements:
• Establishing meaning
• Fostering exchange of best practices
• Developing in those concerned the ability to find their own answers to problems

The method involves three phases:
• Carefully establishing the needs and wishes of individuals and companies
• Designing an appropriate, personalised programme
• The training course itself, with emphasis on a step by step, meaning-based approach that alternates theory and hands-on situations.
