Skill Sessions
What is a Skill Session?
Skill Sessions are short, interactive sessions designed to support sustainable productivity and workplace wellbeing. Each one covers a single topic in just an hour, making them ideal for staff development. They can be delivered in person or online and work well as part of a “Lunch and Learn” or “Breakfast and Learn” series.
They’re not full training sessions—think of them more as engaging, interactive talks that can work well for larger staff groups. Sessions include live polls and group discussion, encouraging reflection and participation without putting anyone on the spot.
Whether you’re looking for a one-off session or a short series, I’ll work with you to shape something that fits your team’s needs. Contact me to find out more.

The Society for Education and Training (SET) has worked regularly with Martine over many years, tapping into her expertise to deliver a variety of very well-received professional development webinars for our members. Topics have ranged from advice for educators new to a career in FE and skills, managing workload with her wellbeing-driven productivity method, and understanding stress and burnout from an education perspective. Martine is always well-prepared for the webinars, brings an interesting and fresh approach and can engage and connect with her audience. Feedback is always positive; delegates relate to Martine and enjoy her presentation and facilitation style.
