## Training categories

- [Management training](https://www.abp-consulting.sc/en/training/management/): Management training at ABP Consulting teaches managers to lead people who do not think, communicate or decide the way they do. Programmes run one to three days in Seychelles, in English, French or Spanish.
- [Sales training](https://www.abp-consulting.sc/en/training/commercial/): ABP Consulting's sales training teaches consultative selling rather than scripts: how to qualify a real need, build an argument around it, and adapt delivery to the person across the table. Two days.
- [Interpersonal communication](https://www.abp-consulting.sc/en/training/communication/): These programmes start from self-awareness: DISC and Driving Forces to read behaviour, the Enneagram to understand what drives it, and positive, non-violent communication to act on both — giving feedback, standing your ground, defusing tension. Two to three days.
- [Seminars & team coaching](https://www.abp-consulting.sc/en/training/coaching/): Collective work with a whole team rather than individuals: a cohesion seminar, a vision session for a leadership team, or a longer team coaching engagement across several months.

### Management training courses

- [The manager-leader toolkit](https://www.abp-consulting.sc/en/training/management/manager-leader-toolkit/): The core management programme. Three days covering the work a manager actually does day to day — setting the frame, delegating, running one-to-ones, handling the conversation nobody wants to have. The third day comes a few weeks later, once the tools have met a real team. Duration: 3 days. Delivered in English, French or Spanish.
- [Motivating without a budget](https://www.abp-consulting.sc/en/training/management/motivation-without-budget/): Most managers have far less control over pay than over the things that actually drive engagement. This course covers the non-financial levers — autonomy, recognition, visible progress, meaning — and how to tell which one a given person responds to. Duration: 2 days. Delivered in English, French or Spanish.
- [Managing hybrid and distributed teams](https://www.abp-consulting.sc/en/training/management/managing-hybrid-teams/): When part of the team works from another island, from home or from a head office abroad, the office routine does not travel on its own. One day on the rules to set from the start, clear objectives, rituals that hold, and feedback and one-to-ones at a distance. Duration: 1 day. Delivered in English, French or Spanish.
- [Visual management — first level](https://www.abp-consulting.sc/en/training/management/visual-management/): Visual management puts the few things that matter where the whole team can see them, and turns a short daily meeting into something people act on. One day to build your first board, decide what earns a place on it, and run the ritual without it turning into surveillance. Duration: 1 day. Delivered in English, French or Spanish.
- [Managing with the Enneagram](https://www.abp-consulting.sc/en/training/management/managing-with-the-enneagram/): The Enneagram describes nine ways of being motivated, and nine things that reliably go wrong under pressure. One day to recognise your own profile, read your team's, and stop managing everyone as though they wanted what you want. Duration: 1 day. Delivered in English, French or Spanish.
- [Leading change with the Kotter method](https://www.abp-consulting.sc/en/training/management/leading-change/): Reorganisations, relocations, new processes, new tools — change programmes fail on adoption far more often than on strategy. Two days on Kotter's eight steps, applied to a change you are actually running, so you leave with a sequenced plan rather than a model. Duration: 2 days. Delivered in English, French or Spanish.

### Sales training courses

- [Consultative selling and negotiation](https://www.abp-consulting.sc/en/training/commercial/consultative-selling/): A two-day programme on selling a considered purchase: how to qualify what the client actually needs, build an argument around it, handle the objection behind the objection, and negotiate without giving away the margin. Duration: 2 days. Delivered in English, French or Spanish.

### Interpersonal communication courses

- [Self-awareness and positive communication](https://www.abp-consulting.sc/en/training/communication/self-awareness-communication/): The foundation course behind most of ABP's other programmes. Two days using DISC and the Enneagram to understand your own communication defaults, recognise where they cost you, and build the flexibility to work with people who operate differently. Duration: 2 days. Delivered in English, French or Spanish.
- [Knowing yourself to communicate better and stand your ground](https://www.abp-consulting.sc/en/training/communication/assertiveness-without-authority/): Knowing how you work is the foundation for communicating well and holding your ground. Three days built on the Enneagram — two together, then a third some weeks later, once you have tried the tools and found out where they break. Duration: 3 days. Delivered in English, French or Spanish.
- [DISC and Driving Forces](https://www.abp-consulting.sc/en/training/communication/disc-and-driving-forces/): Two days on two complementary instruments: DISC describes how someone behaves, Driving Forces describes why. Each participant receives an individual report and leaves with a relationship strategy for the colleagues they find hardest. Duration: 2 days. Delivered in English, French or Spanish.

### Seminars & team coaching courses

- [Team coaching programme](https://www.abp-consulting.sc/en/training/coaching/team-coaching-programme/): Where a seminar settles a question in two days, team coaching changes how a group works over four to six months. Several sessions with real work between them, aimed at habits rather than at a single decision. Duration: 2 days. Delivered in English, French or Spanish.

## Individual coaching

- [Executive coaching in Seychelles](https://www.abp-consulting.sc/en/coaching/): Twelve hours of one-to-one work on a real situation. You choose your own coach from two or three certified profiles, the objective is written down before the first session, and everything said in the room stays there.

## Frequently asked questions

- **What does ABP Consulting do in Seychelles?** ABP Consulting is a French management-training and coaching firm working in Seychelles. It runs management, sales and communication training, facilitates team seminars, and provides one-to-one coaching for managers and business owners. (https://www.abp-consulting.sc/en/faq/#general)
- **What languages are ABP training and coaching delivered in?** Training and coaching are delivered in English, French or Spanish. Both languages this site is published in are also delivery languages; Kreol Seselwa is not. (https://www.abp-consulting.sc/en/faq/#languages)
- **How long are ABP training courses?** Courses run from one to three days. Any course can also be split into half-days spread over several weeks, which usually suits managers who cannot leave their team for consecutive days. (https://www.abp-consulting.sc/en/faq/#training)
- **Can training be delivered at our own offices?** Yes. In-company delivery is the most common format, and usually the more effective one, because participants work on real situations from their own organisation rather than on generic case studies. (https://www.abp-consulting.sc/en/faq/#logistics)
- **How many participants can attend one session?** Most courses run with six to twelve participants, so that everyone works on a real situation. Team coaching is sized to the team itself. (https://www.abp-consulting.sc/en/faq/#logistics)
- **Do participants receive a certificate?** Participants receive an attendance certificate from ABP Consulting naming the programme and its duration. These are professional development programmes, not accredited qualifications. (https://www.abp-consulting.sc/en/faq/#training)
- **Should we book training or coaching?** Training teaches a shared method to a group and suits several people needing the same foundation. Coaching starts from one person’s specific situation, has no curriculum, and suits a manager stuck on something particular. (https://www.abp-consulting.sc/en/faq/#coaching)
- **Can I choose my own coach?** Yes. You meet two or three certified coaches before the work starts and pick the one you want. Nobody is assigned a coach, because the fit between the two people is what determines whether the engagement produces anything. (https://www.abp-consulting.sc/en/faq/#coaching)
- **How many sessions does a coaching engagement take?** Twelve hours in total, in sessions of ninety minutes to two hours — so six to eight sessions, spaced two to three weeks apart, and an engagement of roughly three to six months. The volume is fixed before the first session rather than extended as it goes. (https://www.abp-consulting.sc/en/faq/#coaching)
- **How much does ABP training cost?** Our courses run in-company only, so fees are quoted per group and depend on duration, group size and location. Ask us and we will send a firm figure. (https://www.abp-consulting.sc/en/faq/#pricing)
- **Is coaching confidential when my employer is paying?** Yes. The employer agrees the objective at the outset and receives progress against that objective, never the content of sessions. What is said in a session stays between coach and client. (https://www.abp-consulting.sc/en/faq/#coaching)
- **Does ABP Consulting have clients in Seychelles?** Not yet. ABP is opening this market and has no Seychellois client to name at this stage. The firm has been training and coaching in France for years, and has a first client in Dubai. (https://www.abp-consulting.sc/en/faq/#seychelles)

## Glossary

- **DISC**: DISC is a behavioural model describing four preferences — Dominance, Influence, Steadiness and Conscientiousness — used to understand how someone tends to communicate and decide at work. (https://www.abp-consulting.sc/en/glossary/#disc)
- **Enneagram**: The Enneagram is a model of nine personality patterns, each defined by a core motivation and a core fear. It describes why someone acts, where a behavioural model describes how. (https://www.abp-consulting.sc/en/glossary/#enneagram)
- **Peer coaching circle**: A peer coaching circle is a small group of managers who meet regularly and work on one member’s real problem per session, under a structure that forbids premature advice. (https://www.abp-consulting.sc/en/glossary/#codevelopment)
- **Proximity bias**: Proximity bias is the tendency to favour colleagues who are physically present — in visibility, in opportunities and in performance assessment — over equally performing colleagues who are remote. (https://www.abp-consulting.sc/en/glossary/#proximity-bias)
- **Situational leadership**: Situational leadership is the practice of varying how much direction and how much support you give according to a person’s readiness for a specific task, rather than managing everyone the same way. (https://www.abp-consulting.sc/en/glossary/#situational-leadership)
- **Team coaching**: Team coaching is facilitated work with an intact team over several months, aimed at changing how the group operates rather than resolving one question or teaching one method. (https://www.abp-consulting.sc/en/glossary/#team-coaching)

## Articles

- [Choosing the language for a training session in Seychelles](https://www.abp-consulting.sc/en/blog/choosing-a-training-language/): Most groups pick the language everyone can follow. That is the wrong test. A training session works when participants can argue in the language, not when they can follow it.
- [DISC or the Enneagram? Choosing a self-awareness tool for a leadership team](https://www.abp-consulting.sc/en/blog/disc-or-enneagram/): Both models get used for the same purpose and they are not interchangeable. One describes behaviour you can observe in a meeting; the other describes motivation you cannot.
- [Four people, one conflict: the roles a team argument always recruits](https://www.abp-consulting.sc/en/blog/four-roles-in-a-team-conflict/): Two colleagues are said to be in conflict and everyone else describes themselves as a bystander. In practice a lasting conflict needs four roles filled, and two belong to people who feel uninvolved.
- [Gen Z and baby boomers: the generational conflict is a rules conflict](https://www.abp-consulting.sc/en/blog/gen-z-and-baby-boomers/): The two ends of a team are described as having incompatible values. In the room, what they actually disagree about is four unwritten rules — and the disagreement is settled by writing them down.
- [Managing across nationalities in Seychelles: what actually differs, and what does not](https://www.abp-consulting.sc/en/blog/managing-across-nationalities-in-seychelles/): A team mixing Seychellois staff with workers from a dozen countries does not need a country-by-country manual. Three dimensions explain most of the friction, and two of them are structural rather than cultural.
- [What actually motivates a team when you cannot change anyone's salary](https://www.abp-consulting.sc/en/blog/motivating-a-multicultural-team/): Most managers here control far less of the pay than of the things that actually drive engagement. The trouble is that the standard advice on those levers assumes a team that shares expectations.
- [Motivating and keeping Gen Z: what works after you remove the perks](https://www.abp-consulting.sc/en/blog/motivating-and-retaining-gen-z/): Young professionals are described as impossible to retain. They are not — they are expensive to retain badly. Five factors decide it, and four of them are the direct manager rather than the company.
- [Non-violent communication at work: what survives contact with a real office](https://www.abp-consulting.sc/en/blog/non-violent-communication-at-work/): Most people leave a session on the method convinced, and stop using it within a fortnight. The method is sound; the version taught for personal relationships does not transfer to an office as it stands.
- [Seven self-awareness tools compared: MBTI, Enneagram, DISC, Process Communication and three others](https://www.abp-consulting.sc/en/blog/self-awareness-tools-compared/): Seven instruments, sold for the same purpose, measuring different things with very different levels of evidence behind them. A comparison of what each is genuinely good for, and where each one should not be used.
- [What silence means in a Seychellois meeting room](https://www.abp-consulting.sc/en/blog/silence-in-a-meeting/): A manager asks whether everyone agrees, nobody objects, the decision proceeds. Three weeks later it turns out half the room never agreed. This failure is common, expensive and fixable.
- [Four people who are certain they are working, and one team that disagrees](https://www.abp-consulting.sc/en/blog/who-is-actually-working/): Every team has someone whose own account of their contribution does not match anyone else's. Four versions of it, and the diagnostic question that separates a visibility problem from a real one.
