Disability training, Abnormally Funny People style

Image
A little while back the great people at  Skill Boosters  approached me to see if I'd like to make a training video with them. The topic was to be disability,  employment and customer service.  I said I'd be interested, but how about we do it a little differently? I suggested we make it with Abnormally Funny People, the comedy team I'm part of. To my delight, they agreed.  I'm pleased to say after a lot of brilliant, creative, hard work, it is ready.  Below is the promo video. If you want to know more, contact Peter Thorpe, at Skill Boosters 020 3859 4308  peter.thorpe@skillboosters.com  There are dynamic subtitles included and the next sentence is a link to the transcript if you prefer.   Transcript of Skill Boosters disability training video made with Abnormally Funny People
