I am looking for inspirational quotes which relate to up to date training issues, to base a presentation on. Something short, snappy and thought provoking would be ideal.

Try Prompt Box
Hi Aileen,
I have actually just been doing this very thing. Why not try promptbox.co.uk, you can have a seven day trial period and they have quite a selection of quotes that could be used on a number of different courses.
Try this one for size:
“What we think or what we know or what we believe is, in the end, of little consequence. The only consequence is what we do.”
Or:
“Leadership is like driving a bus….if you do not take people to where they want to go, they get off.”
Hope this helps.
Kind regards,
Emily
