Our commitment…

Our Leadership & Management programme, ‘Realising Your Leadership Potential’ can be delivered in your workplace if you have 8 to 12 managers who need to develop their leadership skills.

We commit to providing experienced trainers and facilitators to run the workshops approximately every four weeks. All dates are agreed in advance.

Coaching:

Coaching is an integral part of this training programme. From session two we will start with group coaching to embed coaching behaviours into your management practice.

Your manager’s commitment…

Your managers are asked to:

– Be prepared to participate fully in all training sessions

– Be prepared to apply their learning back into the workplace after each session

– Commit to the full 12-month programme to ensure effective group cohesion

– Twelve x half-days released from the workplace to attend workshops

– The drive to put your learning into practice back in the workplace

Timings:

Twelve x mornings released from the workplace to attend workshops and time to apply the learning back to the workplace

Quality Assured

Trainees set their own goals at the start of the programme and are encouraged to review these as a minimum at months 6 and 12.

Each workshop ends with action planning to ensure learning is transferred to the workplace as quickly as possible and progress is reviewed monthly.
