About Us
|
The
idea behind Storm Beach began in 2004
when the founder Stuart Haden began an 18-month piece of research for his
dissertation at a Masters level. Exploring the impact of developing internal coaches he
recognised that a Learning and Development consultancy should be based on sound
research. This ensures a systematic
yet flexible approach and the ability to provide recommendations for action with
confidence.
The
following model highlights our approach to projects.
We work with organisations to develop the projects strategy,
highlight the profile of delegates and agree how the change will be valued.
At the centre of the project is the behavioural change itself where we
encourage a mix of delivery options and fresh ideas. |

We offer
3 cutting edge delivery options… Traditional
– using a mix of solutions with workshops as the foundation. Bring
it on – these
are learner centred 2-day sessions. Delegates
design and deliver up to 50% of the learning intervention with extensive
resources and coaching. Character – supported by a coach and a facilitator these
sessions are designed to explore the delegates character.
Delegates shape the learning programme and are encouraged to be both
challenged and stimulated.
