Upon completion of the two-day course, you will learn:

Day One

Personal effectiveness - time is precious; use it wisely

How to effectively and efficiently manage time, priorities, tasks, teams and individuals based on business focus and needs.

Communication – verbal and non-verbal

• Speaking with purpose
• Inspiring others by listening with intent
• Hearing potential in others
• Translating this into action within the team. 

Day Two

Self and relationship management

Assess your leadership style and understand the value of adapting your style to motivate and inspire the team, creating a shared vision, purpose and direction.

Tapping into potential – creating new thinking and direction

Understanding how to assess and manage your team members’ current competencies, ensuring you are providing stretching development opportunities. This includes one-to-ones, feedback conversations, performance coaching and mentoring over and underperformance.

Participants will be encouraged to use real working examples, giving them a plan and structure to return to the workplace. They will be able to integrate the learning into their new role, adding value to the team and creating a high-performance team focused on achieving the company's vision and goals.

The workshops are designed to stimulate ideas and provide practical skills development to integrate into working practices, inspiring new managers to encourage their teams and individuals to achieve their full potential.

This is a two-day virtual classroom course. 9.30 am to 4.00 pm.

The course will use a mix of presentations and interactive sessions.

The workshops are interactive based on tutor-led best practice input, discussion, and group activities, offering a unique opportunity to share experiences and personal case studies in a safe environment.  We incorporate various learning methods, which include diagnostics, videos, interactive exercises, reflection time and post-course reflection and activities to keep the learning alive; each module will build on the previous.
