People get worried or upset - that's natural.
They often need a good listener - that's not so easy.
SAGE & THYME guides the listener - it's that simple!
- It’s an evidence-based structure to use when speaking with people (e.g. patients, colleagues, anyone).
- It’s taught in an interactive communication skills workshop, either face to face or online.
- The training is suitable for anyone, at any level and requires no previous knowledge.
- We can teach SAGE & THYME workshops for your staff, students and volunteers.
- Our priority is to teach your staff to run the SAGE & THYME workshop, so that you have control.
