Personal Effectiveness: Building Skills for Me, the Team, and the Business
What skills and behaviours do your people need? From emotional intelligence to difficult conversations, from presentation skills to resilience, there are a wide range of professional skills that are critical for success.
And the benefactors of these skills tend to include the individual, the team and the business in terms of results. Take emotional intelligence as an example. An individual with greater EI will have the tools to build greater resilience and stress management for their own wellbeing.
This person will also have tools for better conversations and collaboration in their teams. And as a result of all of that, and tools they may use with customers and partners, they are likely to deliver better business outcomes. Everybody wins.
As with our management and leadership development work, we are super flexible on how we work with our clients.
Some are looking for a relatively off-the-shelf 90-minute online workshop to introduce good practice in facilitating meetings. Others want a bespoke and blended in-person and virtual programme, delivered over six months to build influencing skills.
Some want us to design and deliver sessions ourselves and others want to be heavily involved in co-design and then run the sessions in-house.
We have even been asked to contribute to content brainstorming sessions at the start of client projects, so they can take our ideas and build their own programmes. We are happy to work with you in whatever way works best.
Tailored and bespoke is our usual way of working, because off-the-shelf doesn’t tend to work for our clients. We take our expertise, your objectives for behavioural change and what is realistic in terms of timelines, resources and learner capacity, and shape something from there.
Maybe a lunch’n’learn 30-minute bitesize session is all that’s feasible right now. Or maybe your people are ready for an intensive 18- month development programme. Both extremes and everything in-between are perfectly feasible.
The range of workshops we design and deliver keeps increasing, as client needs and our own expertise continues to grow. Here are a few examples of the content we have delivered recently:
Emotional intelligence, personal branding, confidence, presentation skills
Communication skills, influence, negotiation
Business partnering, effective consulting skills
Mental fitness, resilience, mindfulness & healthy working
Understanding our biases, allyship, inclusive leadership and psychological safety for all
