BUILDING CAPABILITY AND CONFIDENCE
Learning needs to be linked to the aspirations of the organisation, supported by leaders at all levels and designed to ensure people can use the learning immediately. Learning only has results when it is applied.
To deliver strong outcomes we operate at three levels:
-
ORGANISATIONS: Building more connected - and therefore more effective - work communities of trust and belonging. Providing people leaders with practical everyday tools to build safety, unity and clarity.
-
LEADERS: Supporting people leaders to navigate tough stuff, build skills and lead confidently, we collaborate with leaders to help them create environments where people can work well and be well at work.
-
TEAMS: Our learning programs are focused, impactful and immediately practical - building the capability and confidence that people need to do their best work.
We know people have less time and more competing demands in today's workplaces.
Our capsule capability-building SmartSessions offer 90-minute capability capsules on topics of your choice, tailored to your organisation. We use an accelerated learning approach that is interactive, fun and motivating to engage staff and provide the opportunity to learn skills that are immediately applicable.
Our typical session structure looks something like this:
1. Pre Session Primers - ensuring learning readiness with short, engaging podcasts, articles, viewing and experiments.
2. Interactive Workshop
Information: background, research and introduction to the framework or tool being applied.
Application: the group will engage in role plays and group exercises to apply the learning.
Reflection: capturing learning and creating shared insights into what can be applied beyond the session.
3. Post-session Prompts - nudges to keep people using their learning after the session is over, so it becomes practice.
SOME OF OUR TRIED AND TESTED TOPICS INCLUDE:
Presentation Skills | Negotiating | De-escalating Conflict | Mastering Motivation | Positive Persuasion | Emotional Intelligence | Crucial Conversations | Never Fail Email | Time-Taming
When you have a community of
people who can work well and be well at work,
everything else falls into place.
LEADING workplaces for well beings
Our leadership work is focused on everyday, essential, practical actions that build confidence and capability - all designed to increase impact while reducing stress.
In a world of workplace stress, with half of all workers experiencing burnout, promoting worker wellness should be the top priority. And that starts with good leadership… not just fruit bowls and yoga.
As the new Psychological Health & Safety regulations come into play, workplace wellbeing and connected cultures are more important than ever. It is vital that employers ensure care, capability and confidence in the workplace.
In practice this means:
-
Taking good care of people: providing great management and leadership. enhancing focus and motivation through clear connection to priorities and purpose; providing authentic recognition and meaningful development
-
Creating cultures of compassionate accountability: setting the example from the top; upholding civil and respectful workplace behaviours in practice consistently within the very structure of the work
-
Designing the work and managing the workload: undertaking fair, consultative job design and making workload sustainable; making sure the right work gets done; supporting people to do their best work by matching skills and developing talent.
Our People Leader Programs support best practice people management, safety and wellbeing so your people leaders can build connections of trust and environments of belonging. Some of the leadership development approaches we offer include:
Fundamental Management Skills | Leadership & Coaching Circles | Leader Led Learning | Communities of Practice | Action Learning Programs | Real-world Toolkits & Team Conversation Guides | Fresh, Engaging Learning Experiences designed for Grown Ups
