Leading self

  • Emotional intelligence is the key to managing ourselves and our interpersonal relationships with managers, customers and colleagues.

    This session explores the key skills and behaviours of emotional intelligence, to build trust and rapport for high performing teams, that build a positive and productive culture.

  • Time Management is key to effective performance. Why are there never enough hours in the day to get everything done?

    It IS possible to achieve work objectives and still get home at a reasonable time. This session looks at effective strategies to take control of your workload and build habits.

  • We each have a personal brand that we project. How we are perceived in the workplace and by customers helps us build trust and credibility and manage our career.

    This session considers how your brand can help or hinder your career progression and identifies ways to manage your brand.

  • Working lives can be busy, stressful, and use all of our time and energy.

    This program covers resilience techniques and behaviours – to ride the highs and lows, to deal with stress, conflict, change, obstacles,
    or simply whatever challenges work and life may throw at us.

  • While we all (hopefully) bring our ‘best selves’ to work, we each have a different concept of what ‘best’ can look like.

    This session uses the highly-regarded DiSC behaviour model to identify your own type and build effective communication with other types, whether colleagues or clients.

  • This ancient practice is now recognised the world over for its powerful effects, bringing a sustainable and effective approach to self-management and stress management.

    The basics of mindfulness are introduced in this session, and the benefits and effective practices are explored.

  • Most of us like to believe we are fair and treat others equally. Yet research is showing that we all unknowingly bias ourselves towards particular groups, and disadvantage others.

    This session looks at the dangers of unconscious bias towards team members and clients, and practical steps to mitigate it.

  • Our primary focus for developing ourselves is so often on our weaknesses and deficits. Yet strengths development is newly recognised as key to developing high performance.

    This session uses the world acclaimed VIA strengths profile to explore this tenet of positive psychology.

Leading success

  • Uncomfortable conversations happen – but as humans we can fall into patterns of avoidance or aggression, both dysfunctional approaches.

    This session introduces tools for assertive conversations, including mindsets for collaboration and frameworks for communication.

  • Conflicting viewpoints are a natural consequence of human interaction. But heated conflict with high emotion and challenging behaviours is usually unhelpful and takes emotional intelligence to manage.

    This session introduces skills and behaviours to manage heated conflict effectively.

  • The ability to influence is a fundamental skill for most work roles. Even if we are not ‘selling’, we regularly need to persuade colleagues and customers to take an action or agree with our proposal.

    This session builds ability to use principles of influence ethically and effectively.

  • Persuasive and engaging presentations are an important component of many business roles.

    We explore skills for communicating effectively to groups in a virtual environment – dealing with that additional layer of complexity in a task that many people already find uncomfortable.

  • The wonders of Zoom, MS Teams, and many other virtual conferencing platforms have enabled us to stay connected despite our remote working situations.

    Managing a virtual meeting can present a range of unique challenges, so this session will explore tips and tricks to stay on track.

Leading people

  • Promotion into a team leadership role can be exciting but challenging. How can we navigate stepping up from ‘one of the team’ to ‘head of the team’ without doing damage?

    This session introduces the key challenges and the behaviours and mindsets that assist to transition successfully to the new role.

  • A lot of leadership theories are out there, but how do we find an understanding of leadership that can guide daily behaviours?

    Identify the key mindsets and behaviours that build a leadership approach to engage, inspire and develop your team to bring their best selves to work.

  • While delegation and feedback are key management skills, this session introduces coaching – which takes performance leadership to the next level.

    Coaching empowers high performing team members to take ownership and accountability for building performance.

  • Feedback is one of the most effective tools to build employee engagement and performance. Yet many people leaders avoid feedback conversations.

    Learn the power of regular feedback and how to have effective conversations that increase productivity without damage to relationships.

  • Delegation sounds easy, but it’s trickier than it may seem. Effective delegation takes skill, knowledge, patience and EQ.

    Learn the art and science of delegation that takes onboard the task, the person and the context, to walk the line between micro-managing and allowing sink or swim.

Leading teams

  • How do we engage and motivate staff to build performance, to build retention rates and to project a positive brand for the organisation?

    This session explores motivation across all generations, and how you can help your people to thrive at work and build a culture that attracts and retains customers.

  • A group of high performing individuals will only take performance so far – the ability to team effectively is fundamental to achieving organisational goals.

    We look at how teams work, and what are the factors that help align individual behaviours to build team performance.

  • Psychological safety is the key topic at the moment, but many are not quite sure of why it matters, what it is, and how to build it in their team.

    An accredited psych safety coach will take you through the fundamentals and practical steps to implement immediately and long term.

  • The only constant is change. With the pace of change ever more rapid, we need strategies for meeting the challenges that change brings, for ourselves and our teams.

    This program identifies the stages of change, and the steps that help us to transition successfully through change initiatives.

  • Team cohesion is one of the key players in team performance, bringing trust and strong relationships into sometimes challenging or stressful contexts. 

    Focussing on this one critical aspect of high performing teams, this session identifies key factors to build cohesion and collaboration.
