Developing your skills as a giver and a receiver
The ability to receive feedback is just as important as the ability to give because in reality what happens to feedback is entirely in the hands of the receiver. This workshop will help take your feedback skills to whole new level by developing your skills at both giving and receiving feedback. For managers, leaders and anyone else who wants to become really good at handling feedback.

Includes leading virtual meetings and coaching for engagement
Teamwork already requires a great deal of co-ordination and collaboration. Having been plunged in to a virtual and now hybrid world, it is even more important for leaders to ensure people's efforts are aligned, that they stay engaged with their team (and their leader) and work effectively ‘together apart’. This practical session will show leaders how to set people up to succeed in a flexible work environment, get the balance right between individual and organisational needs plus provide practical tools to lead team events and virtual meetings so that relationships are maintained and people feel together apart.

Half day
Most of us have experienced the challenges of working alongside (or being managed by someone) who has an extremely difficult personality. This interactive session will help you identify toxic behaviours at work and better manage difficult personalities to reduce the negative impact they have.

working together apart
Whilst technology can bring us together, it is the quality of the conversations we have once we get there that makes the difference to a team, a project or an organisation. Virtual meetings are both a vehicle for getting the work done and a means for maintaining team connections. This workshop will show you how to effectively lead virtual meetings and provides you with the facilitation skills you need to make sure that everyone sees your meetings as excellent value for time.
