WORKSHOP TWO

Communication

“No matter what job you have in life, your success will be determined 5% by your academic credentials, 15% by your professional experiences and 80% by you communication skills”

Stephen Wang, Entrepreneur

Effective communication is the secret sauce for smooth operations.

Think about the last conversation or meeting you had, when the time just flew by...?

Most likely it was with someone who has a similar communication style to yourself. What we find difficult in others is often simply what we cannot understand ourselves.

Steven Covey suggests we seek first to understand, and then to be understood. By leveraging the DISC model of human behaviour, you will gain deeper insights into communication preferences.

  • Increase your self awareness of what motivates you

  • Improve your understanding of your stress triggers

  • Insight to improve your rapport with others

WORKSHOP FOUR

Leadership Presence

Leaders inspire & empower their teams, fostering a sense of trust, respect & collaboration…

… which motivates employees to excel and go the extra mile.

In contrast, a boss involves hierarchical authority & control, which can lead to resentment, disengagement & limited creativity amongst team members. The concept of being "the Boss" is no longer relevant, it’s old fashioned.

What employees truly desire is a leader who not only guides but also develops them to achieve their utmost potential. We will spend time exploring the power of leadership, how to set direction for your team with both achievable & Big Hairy Audacious Goals!

BHAG is the opposite of micro-management, it’s about empowerment (Collins & Porras).

  • Master the distinction between Boss & Leader

  • Master the usefulness of Coaching Tools

  • Master motivating team members

  • Master setting your BHAGs

"Leadership is not about being in charge. It's about taking care of those in your charge."

Client Testimonials

  • "The more I reflect, the more I realise that the training on Negotiation has been game-changing. It completely reframed how I saw Negotiation, and now it makes me feel that it is something I can do. I also think I have only been taught to Negotiation through a male lens, so it’s felt combative and competitive; the word collaboration was never mentioned, and that reframe has massively helped me"

    Lisa Thompson, Strategy Lead, Agency

  • "As a result of this training, I am now equipped to identify different communication styles in people, which will help me better understand and communicate with them. I feel more confident in my ability to minimise conflicts with those who work differently from me"

    Account Director, Hybrid

  • "Amy has a unique knack with her active listening skills. She is able to dissect the true nature of support required in order to help progress the conversations/frustration towards an action. She ensures that there is guidance and support and ensures that she is challenging you as an individual to help identify the true cause of the problem, identify the possible routes towards a solution, evaluate the most beneficial decision, take action and evaluate the result and repeat the cycle again. The ear she lends and the voice she offers is something that is not readily available in an professional environment to individuals"
