• Technology Makeover
Consultancy tailored to you business needs to review your use of desktop information technology and optimise its use. This can cover training; setting up shortcuts and templates, automating data collection and generally helping you to ensure that the information you and your team need is truly at your fingertips.

• Coaching Professionals for Performance Excellence
In this one-day workshop you will do much more than examine what coaching is and why it is important. You will have the opportunity to model the beliefs, attitudes, skills and behaviours of outstanding coaches who consistently help their clients to excel. This is a hands-on day designed to give you a foundation of skills and behaviours that you can use immediately in your organisations to improve your own and your team members’ performance.

• Communication Strategies for Managing High-Performing Teams
Most of us already know what we should be doing to improve communication, and why it is important to practice effective communication strategies. The major gap in this learning loop is how do we output the strategies and turn theory into new daily habits. On this one-day workshop you will have the opportunity to learn the cardinal rule of effective communication, as well as a range of communication techniques and skills that will significantly affect your ability to collaborate with others and improve performance.

• Leadership in Action
The problem with talking about leadership is that we turn an action (leading) into an abstract thing. Have you ever seen a leadership? Of course not. But nearly everyone has a reference for leaders that they have seen in action. As change becomes ever more rapid and embedded into our daily lives, so there is an arising need for more leaders at every level of the organisation and society in general. Effectively leading others is founded on first improving self-leadership and self-mastery skills. In this exciting one-day workshop you will learn a range of skills and behaviours that you can use immediately to move towards personal mastery and on the road to becoming a more effective leader of others.

• Managing Change
People generally respond to change emotionally rather than rationally, so your strategies for planning and implementing changes in your organisations need to focus on how to elicit useful emotional responses to change from your people. This one-day workshop will focus on the attitudinal and behavioural implications of managing changes in your organisations, and is designed to equip you with practical strategies that you can use to help yourself and others embrace changes.

• Persuading and Influencing
The essence of modern thinking about effective leadership and management is that it is the ability to get others to do things willingly that they might not otherwise do, and to achieve all of this without unduly exercising positional power. Today’s leaders then need to be experts in the art of influencing and persuading. This one-day workshop will introduce you to some of the best work done on this much studied subject, as well as showing you strategies that will have a huge impact on your own ability to positively influence yourself and others.

• Managing People for Greater Success - Effective Appraisal Skills
If you want to keep your business pushing forward, it is important that you perform regular evaluations on the performance of your greatest asset - your employees.

An employee evaluation or appraisal is an estimate of the quality your employees, it should positively merit their work in your company and provide the basis for motivating the employee to achieving new goals in the coming year. This workshop allows you to revisit the appraisal process to ensure that you have a consistent approach and are able to balance positives and negatives in line with your business objectives.
