single or multiple session based on the requirements given by the target
audience at a location agreeable to the target audience.
The training programme you develop can include a number of workshops,
coaching sessions and team-building activities. The institution/audience you
are planning to conduct the programme for would require a schedule of the

In addition, design a training pack to include a range of activities, and breakout sessions. It is expected that you will be having considerable number of individuals attending. Please make sure that the location has necessary facilities. Working individually:
