Whether it is local, regional, state, national or international, many organisations find that politics has a massive impact on their success.
From building a positive relationship with local Councillors through to lobbying Parliamentarians for changes to legislation, we can help you!
Midas has many associates who have worked in the political world, across all three major political parties as well as many charities and NGOs.
Our training materials have been developed in conjunction with MPs, Lords, MEPs, MSPs, AMs, GLA members, Councillors and Party staff.
Our workshops on political awareness will help participants to understand how to get the right response from politicians, to have an awareness of how different electoral cycles may need you to change your approach or your timing, and to consider your issue from a political point of view. There are many times that both business and charities can immediately become more effective, simply by thinking more politically.
We have run courses in political awareness, advocacy, lobbying and Government affairs for clients both in the UK and around the world.

How to plan your course
It’s very helpful for us to know what you feel the focus is for your course – the real priority that has made you come and look for this training. You can help us gain this insight by choosing three priorities for your training course. These may be taken from the topics above – or you may want to include other topics that we haven’t mentioned on this page.
Contact us by email or phone (details below) and we will work with you to design a workshop which will meet your team members’ needs.
Using your ideas we will write and deliver a workshop to your precise requirements, incorporating examples and exercises relevant to your team, your situation and your goals.
