In this online workshop, participants will discover how we as humans respond to change, whether it’s disruption due to an unprecedented large-scale event such as COVID-19, or an unexpected role change in the team. They will explore key questions for a team to consider in order to build awareness and robustness of the impact of change and how to make good endings when we have lost things in a disrupted world that may not return. Delegates will also reflect on strategies to deal with others who are resistant to change.
In person, half-day workshop
In a world driven by people power, some people stand out. You know that person who walks into the room (virtual or real) and you just think, “You! We want you!” You don’t even know their skills or experience, but they have a vibe that puts them in demand. What’s their secret?
Actually, they have a few, including a high-performance mindset, an approach the unites rather than divides, and more than just a bit of backbone. Using real examples, this workshop will let you in on all the secrets so you can make sure you have what it takes to be your organisation’s most-wanted. The session will include practical tips, tricks, and techniques that busy people can take away and put into action right away.

Leaders today understand that executive presence, active listening, and self-awareness of the impact their behaviour and emotions have on others are essential skills to have.
Confidence in leaders’ ability to facilitate and chair effective meetings can be derailed when they are put on the spot, by one aspect of communication that often goes unrecognised - the “non-verbals.”
Research states that over 90% of what people remember are the non-verbal factors of communication: How you look and how you sound. These factors can reduce the impact and effectiveness of what you say in meetings particularly leading discussions, ensuring everyone gets a chance to talk, responding to questions and handling objections.
Join this session to learn how to be the most engaging and authentic Facilitator/Chair.
In person, half-day workshop
Very few people seek out conflict and most of us avoid it like the plague. Yet without it, we risk keeping everything so “safe” that we never reach our full potential.
Healthy conflict can help us explore an issue more fully, embrace a range of approaches and make better decisions. The first step to better conflict management is to examine and adjust your attitude. Then it’s all about practising skills that lead to positive, assertive behaviour where hopefully, everyone wins.
You just have to be brave and take the first steps – this session will help you to do just that.
In person, half-day workshop
This half-day session is for those who are keen to know more on the subject of evaluation and learning. The focus is on making evaluation proportionate, both to your resources and to the people you work with. It takes a practical, structured approach to helping you decide what to measure and why, and how to measure that as effectively and efficiently as possible; with a particular focus on using surveys.
