Our training workshops focus on empowering people to interact productively in working or learning environments. For us successful training always results in changed behavior in the work place and elsewhere. Sustainable organisations depend on the skills and effective behaviours of people in their work force and investment in our training ensures you’re paying attention to this.

Our Leadership training workshops are an effective and proven way of helping leaders to review their behaviuoral repertoire and its impact on others. The workshops have proved effective for all those who depend on their skills in building relationships and communication in order to empower and influence and to help make the best of people they manage, lead and work with. We provide pre-reading, which introduces participants to the concepts and theories explored in the workshop.

During the 3-day workshop participants experience real-time learning in which they apply these theories in helping each other deal with real challenges and problems they face in working life. The whole workshop operates so that participants pursue their own personal learning agenda with immediate feedback on the impact they have on fellow participants. This approach is genuinely challenging – it makes the learning vivid and real – people get a chance to engage with real issue and solve them – meaning it is satisfying and works at many levels.

The building blocks that the workshop deals with are:

  • 1. The Importance of trust and connection – how it can be gained and what to do to regain it.
  • 2. Avoid misunderstanding and achieve alignment – getting things on the table (contracting) as a way to achieve common understanding of goals and means.
  • 3. The power of empathy and really listening – being an authentic supporter.
  • 4. Helping your colleagues / partners reflect and learn so they can reach their true potential through skilled questioning and summary.
  • 5. Managing conflict appropriately in an intelligent way appropriate to the circumstances
  • 6. Challenging and confronting others in an effective way
  • 7. Advising and acting as expert – being truly effective and avoiding pitfalls such as dependency
  • 8. Feedback – giving and receiving honest information about performance directly and constructively.
