Summary

Better understand yourself, communicate with impact and get the most from others.

This online programme is delivered over four 2-hour live virtual classrooms and will improve your effectiveness in the workplace. Through understanding patterns of behaviour in yourself and others (using the DiSC tool) you will learn strategies for adapting to those around you that will both improve results and improve the way that others see you.

Adopting a more confident and assertive communication style will positively impact working relationships and developing your organisational skills will increase your productivity.

Masterclass clinic

A month after your Masterclass has finished, you will have the opportunity to join the rest of the group for an optional hour to discuss successes, challenges and best practice. Bring your current issues to the table during this 60-minute session, and let the group, facilitated by an expert business coach and trainer, guide your thinking towards strategic, innovative solutions.

An opportunity to reflect on how far you’ve come and focus in on what changes and tweaks still need to take place for you to reach your goals.

How does the masterclass work?

It will be delivered over four virtual classrooms (VCs), plus an optional clinic, which will take place a month after the last VC, for attendees to discuss successes, challenges and best practice:

  • VC 1: Understanding yourself and others
  • VC 2: Personal accountability
  • VC 3: Time management and resilience
  • VC 4: Unconscious bias
  • Masterclass clinic (optional)

These VCs are not lectures. Instead, they are highly interactive sessions and encourage the same kind of participation as learning in a physical classroom, providing the opportunity to learn from the experiences of others, as well as reflecting on your own and sharing best practice.

The time between VCs allows you to absorb the ideas and reflect on the lessons learned before the next session. Any questions you have will be answered before we develop your thinking with further learning.

Coaching package add-on

You can choose to purchase a package of two 60-minute coaching sessions with this course, at a discounted price if purchased together, to help you accelerate your results.

The coaching sessions will run once a week following the course and provide you with a unique opportunity to discuss any issues you are facing with an experienced coach, who will guide your thinking, strategy and actions to ensure your learning experience has a direct impact on the bottom line.

    Unconscious bias

    As humans, we tend to think that we are endlessly wise and logical when it comes to making important decisions, both in our professional and personal lives. However, the reality is different. Failing to recognise that a lot of our decisions are biased and consequently ‘sub-optimal’ can be risky.
