Building Resilience
‘Resilient people adapt successfully in the presence of risk and adversity’ (Donald Meichenbaum). They are able to bounce back, recover more quickly and have a healthy outlook, despite stress and transition. People who are resilient are like a Camel - a very resilient animal! This short workshop takes you through seven keys in life that help us to be resilient. Resilience can be built and strengthened!

How to Have Hard Conversations WELL
For many of us there is often a gap between knowing WHAT we need to do and knowing HOW to do it. Having hard conversations is one of those areas where many of us struggle to close that gap. Yet having hard conversations is a crucial part of leadership and life - whether it be a clarifying conversation, the need to be vulnerable or resolving conflict. It is through hard conversations done well that we grow trust and develop richer and more meaningful relationships. This five hour workshop provides very practical steps in preparing for and having hard conversations well.
Growing In Self-Awareness
Self-Awareness is one of the four pillars of emotional intelligence and according to Daniel Goleman, the fundamental emotional competence on which the others build. A 2016 research report by HR consultancy Development Dimensions International revealed that leaders who displayed emotionally intelligent behaviour performed 40 per cent better than those who didn’t in numerous disciplines, including planning and decision-making. While qualifications, experience and skill will take your leadership to a certain level, it is emotional intelligence that will take you to the next level.
This half day workshop will provide three tools for growing in self-awareness - help you identify and manage your emotions, choose your responses and uncover blind spots.
Quality Meetings
Consider how many hours you spend in meetings and times that by the number of people present - that's a lot of work time!
"A manager's ability to turn meetings into a positive thinking environment is probably an organisation's greatest asset."
Nancy Kline
Many of us are highly trained in our area of professional expertise, but few of us are trained in how to lead meetings well, to maximize the effectiveness and to ensure a quality meeting results. This workshop will provide you with simple and practical tools to chair a great meeting and to enhance the thinking and outcomes for the group.
Building Trust & Becoming a Trustworthy Leader
Trust is the foundation of every healthy relationship and trust is the foundation of great leadership. But building and maintaining trust takes effort and nurture, it doesn't just happen. As the saying goes, “Trust arrives on foot but leaves in a Ferrari'“. We often recognize when trust has been broken or is absent, but often we don't have the tools to build or rebuild trust. This workshop will help you to identify the key elements in building and maintaining trust and consider how to apply them in your leadership.
