Construction News Image
Renowned motivational speaker Eddie Woods of Karrdale has been confirmed to address the Scottish Civils Training Group (SCTG) at Hampden Park, Glasgow, on Tuesday 04 December.

There will be morning and afternoon sessions with lunch in between and the SCTG are encouraging companies to bring their operatives along to hear Eddie's intuitive words on 'Temptation vs Risk' and 'Developing Communities on Site'.

When under time pressure, the choices we make can become blurred as the stress builds up. We all know the way we communicate is not at its best when anxious. Eddie's briefings will promote the benefits of regaining calm when under time stress and offering practical strategies for the workplace.
