Workshops
This online workshop is to support managers who may be relatively new to management, or for those who wish to revisit and refresh their skills and knowledge in relation to managing performance effectively. Our blended approach will also reflect “the new normal” for those managers who may be managing remote teams, and who need to be able to assess performance, motivate and support the wellbeing of their team members.
This course is suitable for anyone who will need to lead meetings, within or outside their department. No prior experience is required, and the course is not limited to those in leadership or management roles.
This workshop would benefit those who would like to get themselves into the best possible position for enhancing their career by either becoming a manager or developing their existing managerial skills. It will focus on creating a positive mindset to become more proactive in career development and to facilitate personal responsibility. The shift in attitude required to shift from team member to team manager will be explored.
The ability to think strategically is an increasing requirement where staff must be able to rise above the established and day-to-day in order to develop longer term plans. This highly participative workshop will provide a structured approach for developing strategic plans.
