Lots of people are working on their Training Plans for 2026 – identifying the skills required individually or within their teams. As we continue to adopt AI, it will be more important than ever to also focus on the fundamental business skills that help us be productive and effective.
I deliver a range of training courses on key business skills and I love developing new training sessions to exactly fit a clients’ need. It is interesting to review the list of topics requested during 2025:
- Personal Effectiveness Skills
- Tips for Clear & Effective Communication
- Data-Driven Decision Making
- Critical Thinking Skills
- Managing Challenges Day-to-Day
- Working Smart & Saving Time
- Managing the Team Performance
- Resilience and Stress Management
- Delivering Projects
So what’s on your Training Plan for 2026? To help you plan, I share a link to a Skills Assessment Matrix in our Resources section. This matrix helps you identify current skills, your required skills and the gaps – all in one place.
So if you want to finalise your Training Plan for 2026, get in touch and together we can design the perfect programme.
