Halton Borough Council's Transport Co-ordination Team and their partners were awarded “Beacon” status by the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister, under the banner of 'Better Local Public Transport'. Halton Borough Council secured this prestigious award for its innovative projects to reduce social exclusion.
Within the award was an obligation on the Council to disseminate its good practice in a networking event. Attendees from councils around the country had an opportunity to learn about the concepts that had been successful in Halton.
Halton Borough Council required support and development to enable their internal transport managers who were to lead the dissemination workshops, to deliver and facilitate those workshops and achieve maximum buy-in to their concepts and services from the attendees
Each manager/facilitator needed to
• Be clear about the desired outcomes from their session.
• Increase their motivation and develop their skills in working with the attendees to good effect.
• Appreciate the importance of preparation, practice and rehearsal.
• Be given coaching and guidance in putting together a professional, impressive and exciting workshop.
• Increase their self-belief and self-confidence in producing an excellent performance.
