seeingstone: Training and Education Consultancy
 real training for real life
In Norse mythology, seeing stones gave the recipient the power of foresight and prediction. In our age of rapid and unpredictable change we need to regularly audit and update the personal skills that help us adapt and thrive in uncertain and challenging times.
seeingstone consulting was established to meet the shifting training needs of university graduates, researchers and academic staff. Seeingstone taps into a wealth of valuable business skills and applies them to the demands and pressures of the new academic environment.
