We at Top Banana Training pride ourselves on delivering bespoke training and development programmes that make a real difference to each individual and company we work with.
Every programme needs to take into account ‘how does this support the business objectives, goals and aspirations’ as well as fulfilling the individuals’ objectives for being on the programme.
A lot of companies realise they have a skills or knowledge gap and train and develop their people to fill those gaps (this is known as reactive), we encourage our clients to look further ahead and equip their people for the future (pro-active).
We take time to understand our clients needs for the future and put a programme in place to maximise the return on their investment. We encourage line management and HR take ownership of the agreed content and reinforce the importance to them and the company. All programmes must have deliverables for the future (Action plans). These action plans should be monitored and when the committed completion dates have passed they should be able to demonstrate how these were achieved. An effective way to re-enforce this is to link this to their appraisal review.
Learning is a lifelong pursuit and personal development is the individual’s responsibility, which can be as easy as you chose. All learning is fun, working smarter not harder is the key.

Development Programs
When looking at success for individuals and businesses it starts with how much is invested with raising peoples’ skills and knowledge whilst changing attitudes and behaviour. The development programmes we offer are bespoke to individual and business requirements based around goals and objectives. We spend time in the planning and preparation whilst consulting with the client to ensure the content will add value to the business, giving a measurable return on the investment.
Profiling and Behavioural Study
“Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom; mastering others is true strength; mastering yourself is true power”
- Lao Tze
Mastering yourself starts by understanding of what makes you ‘tick’. Profiling gives you an insight into your ‘DNA’. This gives a very strong foundation to build upon and can be applied very successfully to Teams and Individuals.
This assessment highlights the gaps that need filling to maximise the potential performance of teams and individuals.
Sales and Negotiation Programs
Nothing happens in any business until something is sold, it does not matter if it is a product, service or both.
Does your business use a transactional or consultative sales strategy? What components make up this strategy? What are the skills needed to maximise the potential of this strategy? Our programme offering covers all aspects of B2B needs and are written with consideration to your sales goals and strategy.
