Do you have to keep dealing with the same interpersonal problems?

Have you tried training but disappointingly it didn’t lead to the change you were hoping for?

Neupauer Ltd offers tailored Soft Skills Training to help you deal with individual and team problems. Most often, people just want to feel heard and validated. This is why we spend considerable amount of time in discussions and self-reflections which our delegates value. But don't worry, our training isn't about ranting and talking, sessions are carefully facilitated to navigate through problems and challenges delegates face.

Why our approach works?

Delegates don't only get a chance to tell their side of the story but others can hear variety of opinions and ways they deal or even understand each other. This creates a better understanding of individual approaches to problems or tasks.

Contact us if you need help with:

• Interpersonal Conflict within the team
• Improving communicating and team work
• Improving cross departmental communication and understanding

We are a leadership development consultancy specialising in the practice of leadership. Our aim is to help leaders at all levels in organisations to develop their impact, effectiveness and influence and by doing this, to help teams, organisations and systems to improve their performance. At the heart of all of our interventions is a passion for understanding and developing in ourselves and others the knowledge, strategies, behaviours and mindset of leadership that enables the shift from concepts and theories into practice and action.

The question that interests us is “What does effective leadership look like, sound like and feel like?” We recognise there is sometimes a gap between the impact that we want to have on others and how we are perceived. In order to be more effective or achieve a better outcome we may need to change the way we behave.

Practive was founded in 2002, and is now led by Joel Greig, Adam Woodroffe and Jo Byrne.

PRACTIVE: (A) Devoted to practice or action - 1610. (B) Adept, skilful, dextrous - 1594. (Shorter Oxford English Dictionary)

I am a practising Ontological Coach (https://www.ontologicalcoaching.com.au/) with current clients including C-suite and emerging leaders, start-up founders, hospital medical & administrative teams, and a World Rugby referee. I help them enhance self-awareness and gain deeper insights into themselves and their environments. In so doing, they are able to clarify what is truly at stake and unlock new possibilities for moving forward.

With nearly three decades in financial services, spanning wealth management servicing, private fund administration, securities services, institutional broking, and wealth/fintech, my roles as CEO, COO, Independent Non-Executive Director and other board-level positions, have afforded me a deep understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing today’s C-suite leaders. I have a track record in growing businesses in highly-regulated organisations and optimising business expansion strategies aligned to robust governance frameworks. I have extensive experience interacting with regulators globally both as a leader of regulated businesses as well as exploring business development opportunities in new markets. Combining this with my work as an Ontological Coach, I empower executives to navigate complexity, sharpen their strategic thinking, and drive sustainable success.

I bring an international perspective having lived and worked in Singapore (2000-23), Hong Kong (1998-2000), India (1995-98) and the UK (1986-95, and 2023 to now) with extensive travel across APAC and the US. I am a strong advocate for a diverse and inclusive culture, firmly believing this drives long-term, sustainable and responsible growth.

In my spare time, I am a L2 World Rugby referee with the LSRFUR and relax by cooking, especially “Nyonya / Peranakan” dishes of my birthplace, Penang, Malaysia.

CPD Training (UK) Limited is a UK-based legal training business whose teachers have presented courses in many different countries. The business was set up by Peter Lyons in 2005. Peter is a highly experienced legal skills teacher who has held senior positions at Nottingham Law School and the College of Law, where he was the Professor of Professional Development. CPD Training's courses cover a wide range of subjects including all areas of dispute resolution, advocacy and presentation skills; negotiation skills, professional conduct and client care and law firm management.

We are authorised by the Solicitors Regulation Authority to:

• Provide CPD-accredited training for English solicitors;
• Deliver the Professional Skills Course for trainee solicitors in the core subject of Advocacy & Communication Skills and in elective dispute resolution subjects; and
• Conduct assessments for the Higher Courts (Civil Advocacy) qualification.

We are authorised by IPReg to:

• Deliver the Basic Litigation Skills Course and Assessment for patent attorneys and trade mark attorneys, leading to the award of the Intellectual Property Litigation Certificate.

Our approach

For too many lawyers, annual training is a chore. What should be valuable has been reduced to an exercise in ticking boxes. How many times do you feel that training is just a matter of turning up, switching off then taking the notes back to the office to watch them fade on the windowsill? Ours is a simple educational philosophy: courses should concentrate on the participant and not on the teacher. Learning should be memorable for the right reasons. Our CPD training is practical, challenging and fun. All of CPD Training's competitively priced courses adhere to a similar theme. Each course, in controlled conditions, allows delegates to come to their own conclusions. They are then able to consider how to apply the skills they have gained to everyday practice. Our learning environment is comfortable and secure. Delegates are encouraged to think laterally and to try new ideas.  Our aim is to produce skilful, confident and reflective professionals.  

Who we work with

We have been hired by national, international and City firms in the UK to deliver bespoke structured litigation training. This training, which is usually delivered to solicitors with fewer than five years PQE, is an effective way of developing the skills of a firm's Dispute Resolution department. The added value is that the firm's methods and approach to dispute resolution can be built into the courses. The Director of Litigation Services at Dentons, Tracey Petter says "...the planning process with [CPD Training] is very much a collaborative one. Peter Lyons is always anxious to understand our training needs from the outset, and then creates a programme that genuinely reflects those requirements. So even where the course in question has been delivered previously, the final product will be bespoke. As a result of all this, the feedback from our lawyers on [these] courses is extremely positive.” CPD Training has close links to the National Institute for Trial Advocacy (NITA), the leading advocacy training organisation in the United States. Our trainers have significant experience in providing training in advocacy skills to US and international law firms at locations across Europe and North America.
