Barry and Correen Bakes are a husband and wife training team that have complementary training styles and personal abilities, and are often called upon to train together for this reason. Between them they have many years of training, business and life experience.

In recent years much of their time has been spent in troubleshooting people problems in large private and public sector organizations. These time and stress related problems usually follow periods of change and can produce conflict.

Barry is an experienced presenter, public speaker, and writer, well qualified to conduct programs on the skills of presenting and training, as well as technical and business writing. Personal development, business development, and organisational development areas are also a focus of his training efforts.

Undeniable results have been achieved through Barry’s training programs, mainly due to a systematic approach to the subject presented, and a desire to cover all angles in an interesting and memorable way. His approach stems from an analytical personality that has been developed and nurtured through practice, to produce an outgoing teaching style that combines a thorough and logical development of material with interesting presentation techniques.

Correen is a very experienced personal development and human resource trainer with many years of training experience in the public and private sectors. Many managers and training providers have attested to her excellent successes in both training and facilitating complex programs.

She has a very outgoing and expressive personality, a determination to succeed in whatever she starts, and the ability to establish an immediate and effective rapport with both clients and trainees. A big picture approach comes naturally to her. With a keen interest in people, a willingness to stretch the limits, and a genuine desire to be of personal assistance, she manifests a rare insight into how  to meet the needs of individuals and client organisations.
