Successful Monaco Trip


Inspirational Seminars Ltd, in the guise of Sylvia Modu, has been training senior staff at the Single Buoy Mooring Company in Monaco since 1998. Up to this trip over 80 staff from Monaco's biggest employer have benefited from Public Presentation Skills Training, even though the majority are French speaking, but presenting in English.

Single Buoy Mooring had booked 4 days training last week where a further 22 staff, including directors, were tutored, video'd and assessed. Feedback was excellent.


Whilst Sylvia was training, John Burke held exploratory meetings with the British Chamber of Commerce (BCC) in the region and met up with Mike Lorimar (President BCC) and Carl Henry (Committee Member) initially at the renown Cafe de Paris in Monte Carlo, opposite the Casino.


Inspirational Seminars will be joining the BCC in the region and will provisionally give a talk in November or January about the merits of better public speaking skills for most businesses. The intention for Inspirational Seminars is to have a base in Monaco and to build a core of regular clients with whom we can work. Carl Henry also introduced us to some very interesting contacts with whom we expect to be working shortly.
At the time of our visit Monaco was in the middle of its preparation for the world famous Monaco Grand Prix, and barriers and new road markings were being set up. In addition some of the world's finest motor cars were being casually driven around the Casino square, including a Ford GT40, and beautiful examples of Lambourgini, Ferrari, Porche, BMW and Mercedes!
