In response to Covid-19 we have developed some virtual masterclasses to support our clients through this challenging time. These are not webinars, they are live, interactive masterclasses that aim to simulate a ‘classroom’ environment. Delivered by one of our expert trainers, you will get to interact with the other participants, contribute to group discussions and engage in group work in virtual break-out rooms. Like all of our programmes you will walk away with simple and practical, yet highly effective tools that you can apply immediately.
Available masterclasses
-
We’re in unchartered waters and naturally that causes fear, anxiety and feelings of being overwhelmed, however these negative emotions can also be contagious and can spread throughout a team and organisation. This can impact our ability to think clearly and make rational decisions as well our ability to communicate calmly and confidently. Resilience has always been important but it is more crucial now than ever before.
-
Leading others during a crisis challenges even the best leader’s confidence, self control and compassion. The temptation to simply react and respond without planning your approach is huge. Managing your own emotions and fears as a leader is going on at the same time as you are needing to show a confident and calm exterior.
-
As an individual we will all have a mix of emotions during times of uncertainty – multiply those emotions accordingly when you are managing a team or different teams! It is demanding of any leader to keep their team on track during challenging times – to manage communication, expectations, different emotions and consistent output when things change on a daily basis is a big ask. Teams are looking to you not just for support but for purpose and direction.
-
Uncertainty leads us to question everything – the things others used to accept without question are now being scrutinized. Our ability to influence effectively at this time becomes increasingly significant. Giving time and space to consider our true intention, what language is needed to align with that intention and how we need to be when speaking that intention will help others to decide whether to believe you or not
-
Now more than ever, your coaching skills will be in demand, from self-coaching techniques through to coaching your team and colleagues through the unknown. Coaching as non-expert will be the focus of this webinar as we realise that because of the uncertainty, no one knows the answers but through coaching everyone can explore possibilities. These times require us to coach courageously.
