What Makes Us Different?
Most organisations use their continuous improvement and training investment about as strategically as they deploy their office stationary spending. One of the biggest causes of wasted dollars is ineffective methods.
Training that produces tangible results starts by changing behaviour … which ultimately changes attitudes. Most executives and many training professionals get this back to front. Research clearly shows far more people “act themselves into a new way of thinking” rather than “think themselves into a new way of acting.”
At Break Through we link training and development with organisational strategies and day to day management behaviour. We use it as a strategic tool by....
- Using training technologies that build how-to skills that are highly relevant and immediately applicable
- Following-up on training and development sessions with on-the-job coaching and support from their managers.
- Building training and development around organisational objectives and strategies.
- “Cascading” training and development down from senior management.
Most training and development efforts never get off the ground. These methods don’t change behaviour or the training is poorly delivered and integrated by the organisation. Naturalist William Henry Hudson once observed … “you cannot fly like an eagle with the wings of a wren.”
Who We Work With
Organisations who are looking for strategy development. Organisations wanting to develop and train their people to embrace the changes necessary to ensure sustained growth and profit.
Corporate Training Solutions
The naturalist, Milton Olsen, gave the corporate world an important legacy when he uncovered the power generated by migrating geese flying in formation. The ‘Lessons from the Geese’ demonstrate the advantages of company personnel improving their capabilities to fly in formation with their colleagues.
Break Through Training Solutions help you fly in formation and can be customised for your organisation to cover …
Leadership Skills:
Leadership is not a quality that can be rationed or controlled; rather it is based on purpose, vision and values. The purpose is to set the destination, the vision is to see where you are going and the values are to guide you on the way towards a successful and sustainable future.
The Break Through Leadership program deals with three stand out leadership areas … self development, communication skills and systematic thinking.
It’s about increasing personal power
Beyond Time Management:
This program goes beyond the usual concepts of time management. The program looks at the very core of behaviour and how this impacts on self management skills. Increase your productivity … decrease your stress
Break Through Presenting Powerfully is a two day program that really works on your ability to present professionally and powerfully. A big part of leadership is being able to handle yourself on your feet...
This Break Through program is about you being totally comfortable and congruent and being yourself in front of an audience of any size. Using Neuro Linguistic Programming techniques (NLP) you will remain totally at ease in front of an audience of one, a dozen, or a thousand.
Improve your power to influence others
Communicating for Results:
Performance is often hindered by communication difficulties. This workshop gets at the very core of improving understanding, communication and team harmony. Poor communication is any organisation’s number one problem.
Develop synergy and avoid misunderstanding and conflict
Management and Supervision:
The purpose of the Break Through Management and Supervision program is to present the latest developments in management thinking. They are presented in a form that can be readily understood and accepted by supervisors, middle managers and the many senior managers who recognise the need for management training.
This program emphasises the human aspects of management. It is the manager’s chief responsibility to motivate his or her people so that they will assure success for themselves and the company.
Managing is getting results through people
Selling With Style:
The game of selling is ever changing. Understanding more about the image we portray, and knowing how others are likely to perceive and act towards us, is the key to better sales results.
People buy from people they like
Advanced Consulting Strategies:
Clients want a long term partner. This program gives you the motivation and the desire to … develop those important accounts, recognise the different buyer decisions that affect your results and develop strategies for dealing with different styles of communication.
Become their partner … get more repeat business

Business Coaching
Do you want to take your business to the next level, but you're struggling to make the break through needed? Is your business consuming you with the long hours, no time for a life, feeling stressed and lacking enthusiasm? Do you want more success and results without having to work even harder?
Break Through Business Coaching can take you forward to achieve greater growth and profit.
We do this by working with you on a business improvement process …
Structure: Working with you to get your structure right. Having the right people in the right seats on the bus. Most people are aware the first step in a business improvement process is to get the structure right. The right structure means the right customers, the right products, the right cost of manufacture and the right people. The thing that is not realised is that once the structure is in place, then we move to stage two.
Continuous Improvement: People and processes hold the key to working efficiently, eliminating waste and improving profit.
Beliefs: Once the right structure is in place and the waste handled, the biggest issue in the organisation can be addressed … the belief systems of the people. If a person believes that they are not worthy of success then they will prove themselves right. Showing a person how to develop a belief system of being worthy of success will result in them proving themselves right, using the organisation as a vehicle. Both the individual and the organisation win.

Strategic Development and Implementation
Entrepreneurs and business managers are often so preoccupied with immediate issues that they lose sight of their ultimate objectives. It is the reason for the company to carry out a business review or prepare a strategic plan. It may not be a recipe for success, but without it a business is much more likely to fail. A sound plan should....
- Serve as a framework for decisions or for securing support/approval.
- Provide a basis for more detailed planning.
- Explain the business to others in order to inform, motivate & involve.
- Assist benchmarking and performance monitoring.
- Stimulate change and become a building block for the next plan.
A strategic plan becomes the forerunner to a change process. And this is where we specialise … in working with your people to implement the change. The biggest challenge faced in improving growth and profit is having people embrace the changes necessary. We work with your people in project teams to ensure that what is planned is achieved.

DISC Behavioural Profiling
DISC is a behavioural profiling model that can help you understand yourself and others in a specific environment. Through using these profiles it is possible to understand your behaviour and temperament and identify the communication strategies most conducive for personal and organisational success. At the same time, you can learn about the ways others differ, and the different environments people need for maximum productivity and teamwork within an organisation.
At Break Through we have used DISC to help clients improve in many business areas including communication, team development, strategic planning, leadership, change management, negotiation, sales conflict resolution, and time management.
The DISC model measures behaviour in a specific situation - HOW we do what we do. Unlike other profiles, the DISC model assumes that people have the ability to choose their preferred style and behave in a manner over which they have some control. Although we all tend to have a natural behavioural style, by being aware of the process we are able to understand ourselves and those we deal with to ensure we can gain maximum benefit out of any situation.

Executive Coaching
Traditional approaches to management development … career planning for a lucky few, backed up by internal and external training or education courses and sometimes on-the-job guidance from the boss … have tended to be too broad brush and often too general in approach to be truly effective.
Packaged training or development courses, which are frequently attended by twenty to a hundred executives, certainly have a role to play in management and leadership development. But the comparative power of a custom built, carefully focused, one-to-one external Executive Coaching contract can scarcely be denied.
Break Through Executive Coaching is customised, proven by experience and backed up with leading edge developmental technologies to ensure career development and life balance.
Life Coaching
Life coaching is about gap analysis that closes the gap between life and dreams. It’s a bit like road maintenance and construction. It fills and removes the ruts of life to build a smooth surface. Then life’s journey takes the traveller to the destinations that they really want to visit, rather than remain in the slow lane of inactivity, drifting without purpose or direction.
Break Through Life Coaching can help you set and achieve bigger goals, establish your identity, determine your values and beliefs, assess your capabilities, understand and adapt your behaviour and change your environment.
