Public Workshops
Self-Leadership Essentials; Work on Your ‘Why’: bridging the gap between where you are and where you want to be.
Objective: To equip participants with the skills, tools and determination to reset their lives now and for a better future.
Content:
Using the first 3 habits from ‘The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People’, we look at practical ways to:
- Be Proactive (Principles of Personal Vision)
- Begin with the End in Mind (Principles of Personal Leadership)
- Put First Things First (Principles of Personal Management)
We also explore your Emotional Intelligence strengths and areas for further development, delving into our Growth Mindset to do a self-assessment on Personal Values; identifying what matters most to you and reflecting on how satisfied you are with the time, effort and energy you are currently putting into your chosen values.
*Newly added to the course: Using the Enneagram Personality Test, participants will learn more about themselves and their life’s purpose. The Enneagram describes what our core motivations and beliefs are and provides us with a map of how to see ourselves and one another more clearly. A fantastic tool to help us to understand our own typical way of seeing, relating and responding to the world around us, as well as the typical way that others see, relate and respond to the world as well.
Offered as a five hour program with public workshops (9.30am-2.30pm) capped at a maximum of 8 participants, or in-house options available.
Investment: $300 per participant or $2,195 for an in-house workshop.
Leadership in Life: Creating the Life You Want to Lead
Objective: To assist you in creating a future that provides a deeper level of meaning and purpose.
The concept of self-leadership has gained traction in recent years as organisations recognise that the practice of leadership begins at a personal level. While some models focus on how to enhance your performance in the workplace, there is an increasing view that self-leadership can be beneficial at a more personal level – whether it’s finding your calling in life, handling major life transitions or accessing your intuition to guide the next phase of your life’s journey.
The two-day Leadership in Life program is designed to assist you in creating a future that provides a deeper level of meaning and purpose. It consists of 6 simple yet profound practices:
- Clarifying the reality of your current situation;
- Creating a vision for your future;
- Identifying what really drives you;
- Knowing your strengths and capacities;
- Taking action, after you’ve created a plan; and
- Reviewing your progress and renewing the plan.
A key benefit of the program lies in bringing together a small group of like-minded individuals who enjoy exploring their life journey. The ultimate aim is to assist participants in reviewing and affirming the direction of their life compass for the coming 12-month period.
Offered as a two-day program with a half day follow up approximately 6 months later.
Investment $750 per participant.
Leading and Managing Teams: Management, Leadership and Organisational Development.
Today, more than ever, improving productivity and remaining competitive requires full support of all employees working as a team. Engaging employees in your business through shared vision and values, charges up productivity and is like moving from second gear into overdrive.
Objective: Help individuals and organisations develop the skills and knowledge necessary to become effective leaders and managers.
This five-day leadership and management program, delivered (typically) as 1 full day module per month, is offered publicly as well as being adopted in-house.
The critical link between a corporate strategy and the people that make it happen is the middle manager and the first-line team leader, who are often selected for their technical skills and expertise. However, many find that leading and managing people is a more difficult challenge. The good news is that these skills, like technical expertise, can be taught.
This nationally recognised program develops the ability to motivate, lead and manage people in today’s changing environment. The program provides participants with practical skills and techniques, which they can then apply to current workplace situations. Modules involve adult learning principles to ensure participants get the maximum benefit through a range of presentation and group participation techniques. Participants have described these techniques as ‘practical, fun, and supportive’.
