Looking for learning interventions designed specifically for Directors and your most senior managers to provide a performance advantage? Want to enhance excellent performance so it is truly exceptional? Our six Board Level modules are guaranteed to improve results at executive level. Here are our outlines of programmes unlike any your top team will have attended before.
Powerful presentation module
Presenting powerfully, developing charismatic ways of engaging and motivating people, getting the right messages across in the right way, identifying the needs of audiences and tailoring what you are presenting to those needs are essential skills for anyone who intends to operate professionally in a modern organization.
This workshop will equip participants with the understanding and skills to identify and target their many different audiences, and build rapport with, present charismatically and powerfully to them, regardless of how many and who they are.
Influential language module
‘The meaning of any communication is the response it elicits’
We are all well aware of just how powerfully language can affect us. We all have experiences of mentors who have built our confidence and our positive attitudes to life by saying the right thing at the right time. More unfortunately, many of us have been at the receiving end of messages expressed in ways that have been less than helpful, even when the intentions behind the message have been positive.
This workshop will equip participants with the generic knowledge and skills to ensure that they can always say what they mean and say it in a way that allows their audiences to hear it and fully engage with it.
Leadership for the future module
‘We need to invent and reinvent ourselves on a regular basis.’ Warren Bennis
Organizations are increasingly recognizing the need to develop leaders who can meet the complex challenges of increasingly volatile and global changes in society as a whole. The most successful leaders in the future will be those who can work transactionally and transformationally with their people, engaging them in the challenges that present on a daily basis, and in making the most of the opportunities that arise from meeting those challenges successfully.
This workshop will equip participants to look closely at their strengths and discover strategies for working through and from these strengths to create personal change and a congruent leadership style.
‘Start with the end in mind.’ Steven Covey
Successful and sustainable development is founded upon the quality of the thinking of the people within an organization. Organizations are well served when they foster creativity and strategically think through how challenges can be met and change be led; critical thinking has been identified as the difference that makes the difference.
In this workshop participants will work with tools and ideas that have been modelled from observing the best strategic and creative thinkers in the World. It will equip them with an approach and attitude towards doing the right levels of thinking to ensure that any organisational endeavour will be successful however large or small its scope.
Coaching for success module
‘You get the best effort from others not by lighting a fire beneath them, but by building a fire within.’ Bob Nelson
Over the past decade coaching has become a byword for successful personal, professional and organizational development. Any sportsperson with an effective track record will tell people that his or her success is all down to the coach who has been supporting and challenging them in their delivery of successful outcomes.
Successful business and professional people are increasingly agreeing with this approach and applying it to identifying and developing strengths both in their personal lives and, more importantly, in work. The best people recognize, no matter how well they are currently performing, that next year, and the year after that, will continue to stretch them and cause them to learn and adapt to changing circumstances. In these circumstances the role of coaching within any organization is a key component of continuing success in terms of individual and personal performance.
We need coaches at every level in our organizations if we are to develop and make the most of the huge potential of our people.
This workshop will equip participants with an approach to coaching, a set of coaching skills, the thinking and tools that will lay the foundations for becoming a world-class coach.
Creating and sustaining highly effective team-working module
‘Team working has become the most important unit of delivery’ Katzenbach & Smith
Successful teams need careful nurturing and leadership if they are to continue to be effective in their delivery. Leading teams and developing high levels of team-working is both an art and a science. Done well the rewards for the organization are huge. Doing it well requires a skillet that is natural to only a few people; but it is a skillet that can and should be learned by every manager.
This workshop will equip participants with an understanding of team dynamics, the basics of setting up and accelerating and the creation of an environment for highly effective team-working, developing team leadership and moving teams into delivering sustainably and at increasingly higher levels through time.
