Malvern College

Oppidan recently begun a partnership with Malvern College, supporting them as an external mentor provider for their Year 12 'Life Skills' Day.  

Schools Manager Ben Barber ran two seminar sessions on 'The Art of Negotiation', with a particular emphasis on Oracy, one of our three main outcomes in schools.  

The sessions were built around two key themes: how to 'sell yourself', with a focus on four key communication tools, and active listening, emphasising that good listening is often even more powerful than what we say in any negotiation.  

Sessions were fast-paced and gamified, with feedback very positive from the students involved, including:  

'I really liked the negotiation session. This was my favourite of the day’  

'The workshop on negotiation and communication was really useful';  

'It was interesting and well given'.
