Lorna’s
career path has been exciting and rewarding. Her early career saw
her taking over and running an engineering company in crisis, taking
it from the brink of disaster to a successful and profitable
company. Joining the Foundation for Conductive Education as their
National Funding Director, she was personally responsible for
raising the sum of £1.5 million in 12 months (1988). Headhunted for
the position of Chief Executive at Birmingham City 2000 (now
Birmingham Forward), Lorna took the early development of this
organisation towards greater and wider acknowledgement of the
professional and financial service companies in Birmingham; her role
to promote Birmingham U.K. both nationally and internationally.
Lorna left
Birmingham City 2000 to set up her own company in 1991,
concentrating on public speaking and presentation skills coaching.
This company is known as The Complete Works (International) Limited.
With 15 coaches now on board, CWI offers high-level professional
training programmes to all business sectors plus universities and
schools. These programmes include Public Speaking and Presentation,
Business Relationships, Media and Television, Sales, Negotiation,
Effective Meetings, Networking and Event Management, Customer Care,
Telephone Skills and Call Handling, Business Strategy and Finance
Planning.
Clients in
the UK include BT, Lloyds TSB, 3M UK, Mitsui & Co UK, Powergen,
Barclays Bank plc, WH Smith, Glaxo Smithkline, Deloitte & Touche,
Canada Life Assurance, Halfords, Oxford University and many more
well known names. Largest overseas client is The Henkel Group.
On a number of occasions it has
not been unusual for Lorna to be working with people from as many as
30 difference countries in one session and where English is a second
language to the majority. CWI has clients in South Africa, Germany,
Ireland, America, Dubai and Saudi Arabia, enhancing communication on
a global basis.
Lorna is a
Fellow of the Institute of Directors, a Member of the Westminster
Club, a Member of the Institute of Marketing, a Council Member of
the Birmingham Chamber of Commerce and Industry, an International
Licensed Corporate Trainer for International Training in
Communication and a Founder Member of The Professional Speakers’
Association UK.
THE NEW DVD - "Strategic Personal Impact!"
- Available NOW
Lorna can be seen in action on the new 'Big Brother'
style DVD. You can be a virtual delegate on one of her
recent courses (April 2005) and see and hear everything that goes
on during a real-time 5+ hour two disc DVD set. Taken with
two video cameras and some hand-held close-ups, the DVD gives you
a real sense of sitting at the side as the whole day's activities
unfold. This is a 'fly-on-the-wall' recording of all the
information, the exercises and practise techniques. You'll
see the other delegates struggle and succeed as they go through an
actual real-life day's training. The DVDs are PAL or NTSC
format and will run on most modern DVDs and all laptops.
