Master Trainer of 35 years experience,

designer and owner of the “©GRID

Training should not just give knowledge, it

must give skills, change behaviour and

attitude; the “©GRID Training Method”

skills-transfer and change in attitude which

This totally-participatory course is

presented in an atmosphere of warm

where no-one gets hurt - and is

conducted over 5 intermittent-days

of "hands-on" training. It admits a

minimum of 15 and maximum of 25

participants per session. The

participants sit in small working groups

- 4 or 5 to a table. Each participant

receives a comprehensive,

SETA-accredited, “Trainers Resource

Manual”, and a Journal (Workbook).

the Trainer

runs several practical exercises, the

outcomes of which enable the

participants to identify and start using,

their hitherto-hidden, personal

strengths. After lunch, the Trainer runs

a 2-hour training event, using the

demonstrations of its practical

workings and infinite versatility, in

designing, constructing, and

“I have been teaching for the past 24 years

and just change careers to be facilitator. I

came to this Course aiming at improving

what I knew to do only to be ushered into a

new dimension of speaking and doing. I

can say that I have been equipped to

handle any situation... using the GRID

METHOD in planning (training) sessions

makes delivery easy and the facilitator

fades into the background as participants

take over.”

“I did not realise that I could do so much

eg. planning the training and presenting it

to others after over thirty years in the

public service of Ghana. My ultimate goal

is to help the teeming youth in Ghana who

appears very despondent, to discover and

rediscover their hidden potentials for a

better future, and the GRID Training

Method Course has equipped me to

achieve my goals.” –

I enjoy helping young people to develop

skills to enhance their personal

development. Through the GRID Training

Method Course, I am confident that I am

ready to do what I want to do. Thank you

for doing a great job on me!

Once a while, you meet someone whom

you can tell for certain that God planned for

you to meet – for a purpose. I will use the

GRID Training Method to train others and in

corporate Ghana and together make this

world a better place.

“What a great opportunity to have been

part of this training programme. I would

have missed this great opportunity to be a

trainer if I had not attended this Course. I

have learnt enough skills to be an

excellent trainer. –

“...meeting you has been a wonderful

opportunity for me to become a better

person. I owe you a lot because you have

adequately prepared me to sharpen my

career. Within these few days, you have

taken me through very important issues,

which borders on sacrifice and I can

confidently say that you have made a

significant impact on my life and career.

Being a trainer for many years and having

attended several 'Training of Trainers'

Courses and Seminars, I thought I was

coming for refresher, but I was wrong. The

GRID Method has ushered me into a new

dimension of training, and for sure, I will

recommend it to anybody who is aspiring

to go into training or already in training.

I can predict that having acquired all the

knowledge and skills through the GRID

Training Method, I am now more than

confident and in a position to conduct

effective training as well as transfer skills

acquired to any group of people.

Thanks for putting 35 years into 5 days for me. The training has made me appreciate the need of focusing on skills transfer training rather than impacting knowledge. I am more confident as a trainer now than before and leave here with high expectations to impact positively on those I train. I will apply every single thing learned here. –

If I become one of the best trainers in Ghana, I owe it to you because you have not only enhanced my skills in training but empowered me to go out there and fully utilize that new discovery from within. I will always remember you for that.

I came to this GRID Method Training hoping to learn more about training. To my amazement, it has revealed to me the unexplored potential I had as a trainer. The training session has equipped me with skills to conduct training bare-handed anytime, anywhere from this time forth

With the GRID Method, it took me only 10 minutes to design the training and its delivery enhanced skills transfer...Henceforth, my training programmes will be easily designed and delivered to transfer useful and productive skills to the participants. I am convinced that this new found skill will open up great opportunities in my career as a trainer.

The Course has shown that I can achieve any objective I set for myself if I put my heart to it – because I am a can-do walkingmiracle. Len, I owe this new attitude to you. I will not shy away from taking more responsibilities anymore for I know thatno matter the challenges, these responsibilities bring I can stand up to them.
