How important is professional development to your business?
Studies show that most people leave an organisation over issues that a manager or leader can influence. Is your organisation contributing to this statistic? What reason does your organisation have for not investing in professional development… is it lack of time, skills, revenue? It does not have to be this way.
Creating a Culture of Leadership
Early investment in professional development saves money, illustrates commitment to an employee’s future, sets a clear understanding of the organisation’s culture and is the first step toward succession planning… ensuring there is a choice of leadership talent at the ready to move into leadership roles.
Building the Foundations for Leadership Workshop
Five, 2-hour workshops over a five to 10 week period
This workshop series sets the stage for new employees and is ideal to run when a person has finished their probation period. It is during the first three months that opinions are formed about colleagues, policies and procedures – making this a prime time to learn about personal accountability, perception and assumptions.
Building The Foundation for Leadership is a series of five 2-hour workshops filled with experiential activities. Workshops are delivered onsite, online, or a combination of both. Our virtual classroom platform provides breakout groups for businesses that are geographically challenged so even online we maintain a live classroom atmosphere.

Workshop Outline
Self-awareness…. means a person is consciously aware of their strengths, weaknesses and the impact they have on others.
Participants in this workshop will heighten their self-awareness, be more conscious of their assumptions and better understand the impact their behaviour has on others.
With this knowledge participants have the tools to build more productive, effective and trusting relationships.
Objectives:
- Increase awareness of self and others
- Build stronger relationships
- Insight into personal branding and perception
Everyone has a role to play in team alignment; one way to create alignment is to understand your role and purpose within the team. In this workshop participants create a vision for their position. Having a vision for a position generates ownership, commitment, engagement and job clarity, which ultimately drives internal and external customer satisfaction. Objectives:
High performing teams…
are cohesive, trusting and consistently produce solid results.
Communication 360 degrees…
Feedback is a fundamental part of communication and can have a positive or negative effect based on how it is delivered.
Participants in this workshop will discover why there is resistance to providing feedback and learn how to build rapport.
Being able to provide effective feedback and receive feedback with dignity are key ingredients to having open and honest conversations.
Objectives:
- Learn why people avoid providing feedback
- Techniques for having difficult conversations
- Receive feedback with dignity
- Provide effective feedback with confidence
Being Accountable…
means you accept responsibility for what you do and how you behave.
When frameworks are used with consistency there is clarity and understanding of expectations.
Participants in this workshop are provided with an accountability framework for decision-making.
A decision-making framework will help to align decisions based on the organisation’s values and aids in justifying decisions made.
Objectives:
- Learn about unspoken expectations
- Step by step reference guide on decision making
- Confidently defend a decision
The above modules are supported with easy to understand explanations of how the brain works enabling participants to apply the concepts they learn to multiple situations. The workshops are activity driven and layered to help build understanding and retention. As our brain continuously processes information our workshops are spaced out to allow a reflection period and provide the opportunity for participants to ask clarifying questions.
