Anxiety at Work Material
A fantastic training course on an important topic for all
The pressure to perform, to meet deadlines and to be seen as invincible is high. But how many of us are held back by anxiety? How many of us are afraid that others will find out about our anxiety because we fear we will be perceived as weak or unprofessional? And how many high performers are masking their anxieties in order to get by?
Businesses are realising that it's time to create a climate where it's ok to be anxious - even in a professional organisation. Because as soon as this happens, the potential for improved performance and improved working relationships is immense.
Useful for anyone in the workplace. These training materials on, 'Anxiety at Work' have been designed to assist us all with achieving an understanding of what anxiety is and how it might be handled whether as a sufferer, or as the manager or colleague of a sufferer.

We've Changed
Improving your experience
You may have noticed the we have been a little quiet lately, but we've not just been out enjoying the UK summer! Our time has been spent updating the Trainer Bubble website in order to improve your user experience.
Although we felt it was time for some change, feedback from customers and our own discussions told us that we didn't really want to alter the look and feel of Trainer Bubble too much. However, we did want to make it work a little faster and to improve your general experience. Consequently, you will notice that we have added images to the product listings and also improved our search function. Our International customers will also note that there is an easy to use currency converter, which should make our prices much easier to review.
Most of the changes are in the background, but you should notice faster load times and a much better experience. Of course, we've kept all the great features, including a huge list of training materials and the free section. Visit us now to see for yourself at Trainer Bubble.
Leadership hot on the agenda?
Our sales are a good indication of what's important to you
Following on from our last email where we mentioned the increase of sales in coaching materials and in particular, 'Coaching Skills for Managers', we've seen a continuous trend in the desire to develop leaders and leadership behaviours.
In particular, sales have increased in our training course, 'Great Leadership' and also in some of the behavioural products such as 'Building Relationships', 'Conflict Handling' and 'Communicating Difficult Messages'. It seems leading others is more crucial than ever. Find out about all our hot topics by visiting Trainer Bubble.
Building Relationships Material
Another addition to our fantastic training resources?
We've added another great set of training course materials to our collection. These materials have been developed to assist people in building relationships and is imaginatively called, 'Building Relationships'.
In business today we need to ensure that the people who work for us are motivated and willing to give 100 percent commitment. This will only happen if a good positive working relationship exists. Therefore, these training course materials are relevant to everyone who wants to ensure good working relationships exist in their workplace. Visit us now to find out more at Trainer Bubble.
Coaching hot on the agenda?
Our sales are a good indiciation of what's important to you
We like to keep up with trends in training and something that has caught our eye is the amount of sales we seem to be having in the area of coaching. Our coaching products have been outperforming our other products by a substantial amount over the last year, with the emphasis on our course materials, 'Coaching Skills for Managers'.
This information correlates with our own experience of working with different organisations that are starting to place the emphasis of training on the managers. This of course starts with coaching, but we are also starting to realise that managers are expected to carry out classroom based training much more than ever before. We feel that this makes our products more important than ever, as they provide the perfect basis for managers to run their own training courses for their team. This approach means that managers can be a lot more reactive to their teams needs, which can only be good for development all round.

Training Games Added
We're still helping you add spice to your training
We've added several new resources to our free section. These include; Google Me, Priced Out, Web Test, Mirror Me, Twitter It and Eliminate.
Our current favourite is Eliminate, which is a training game that works really well with participants that like an element of competition. It works like a quiz show and the winner is the last one standing after everyone else is eliminated. It's simple, yet effective and will add a touch of fun to any training session.
Another training game that we enjoyed using was Priced Out, which demonstrates the importance of focusing on the benefits of a product or service rather than just selling on price. It certainly came as a shock when we used it on a set of participants recently! Find out about this and our other free resources now at Trainer Bubble.

Self-Study Workbooks
A great alternative to classroom training
In these challenging times, it can often be difficult to free up participants to attend training courses. We don't have to tell you that it's also these difficult times where training becomes even more important. Having a well developed, skilled and motivated workforce is critical if a business is going to weather the storm.
One way we feel we can help with the continued development of individuals is through our provision of Self-Study Workbooks. These allow individuals to work on key topics in their own time and at their own pace. The feedback we have received about these products so far has been exceptional and we're talking to several large organisations about rolling them out to their entire workforce. View samples and find out more about these exciting new products by visiting Trainer Bubble.
*Offer valid until 30th April 2009.
Self-Study Workbooks
A great way to develop skills at your own pace
We've been working hard to add Self Study Workbooks to our growing portfolio. In the fast paced work environments we encounter today, these workbooks provide the perfect opportunity to develop and build on skills that might otherwise be neglected.
The workbooks provide clarity and insight to the specific topic, whilst including activities, questions and practical tasks. So far we've added four of these workbooks to the website (Business E-mails, Leadership, Report Writing, Time Management) and we are working on providing a complete range. So visit Trainer Bubble to find out more.
The Ultimate Trainer Series

Great Leadership - Training Materials Added
Developing the Leaders of the Future
We've been working hard on a new training course to add to our fantastic range. This time it's Leadership Skills and we are very pleased to announce its arrival.
The training course looks at providing the basis on which participants can cultivate great leadership skills. It considers the inclusive approach to leadership, where participants focus on achieving results through those around them, including others in decisions and working with the organisation to achieve greatness. It spans three core elements, which are: Personal Leadership, Team Leadership and Task Leadership. Take a look for yourself at our website Trainer Bubble.
