In this paragraph, I’m going to discuss a few reasons why practice is important to mastering skills. Firstly, the only way to truly learn a skill is by actually doing what. you’ll have to do in the real world. Secondly, I think practice can be a fun way of putting in the necessary hours. There are, however, some people who will disagree. Thirdly, and most importantly, it is said that. In this article, people tend to remember only 10-20% of what they read or hear. Moreover, that number rises to as much as 90% when you put theory to practice. In conclusion, following up explanation with practice is key to mastering a skill.

"Very informative and concise"

‘I had the pleasure of attending a two day workshop on Investigation Officer Training with Dorothy and her team. Despite being an experienced HR professional, I found the training to be very informative and concise, and I was able to take additional learning from it.  In addition, the delegates remained engaged throughout.   

What worked well was the structure of the workshop which commenced following a clear introduction and objectives explained. Thereafter, the delegates were led to the conclusion on how to carry out and work towards completing the investigation process. This was broken down into stages over the two day course, allowing the delegates to learn, digest and move on through each stage. The training was presented through discussion, supporting paperwork, breakout sessions and role play.  

I would highly recommend Dorothy and her team to any business looking to upskill and support their managers in becoming more empathetic and effective leaders.’
