"Why won't you teach us how to handle complaints?"

"Any questions?"

'Now THAT'S a presentation! Great delivery, great graphics, and he moonwalks from the room.'

'You don't have to explain the software to me. I wrote it while I was in the womb.'

"I'm not sure about this new trainee - he asked me when does he get to see the actual ropes."

How to deliver a successful presentation.

"The desktop skills test was a little worrying,56% couldn't manage 'Word' 75% were confused by 'Excel' and 43% wanted to know what channel 'Eastenders' was on."

"And with the optional remote you make all these little lights go off and on really quickly." You can have an IT system with all the latest bells and whistles...or you could have one that WORKS

"The GOOD news is that 94 people want to attend the leadership training, the bad news is that 64 of them want to change the venue, 56 the time and 45 want to be course leader."

'First of all, relax.'

Targets.

'Let's go! Let's go! Hustle! ...Relatively speaking.'

"Try not to think of them just as a 'customer' but rather as your only chance of paying your mortgage and putting food on your plate."

"This is the communications workshop, right? Let’s get started, I’m prepared!"

"You may inflict pain, but it mustn't be severe or prolonged."

'I hope that training aid doesn't give him the idea that bigger laptops could mean more output.'

'I sort of thought your presentation was going to be in powerpoint.'

'I miss the good old days!'
