High performance athletes would not consider working towards being the best without a coach. High performing manager’s also need to consider coaching to assist them become and remain at the top of their ‘game’. Organisational coaching and executive coaching focuses on the manager's specific needs, helps to identify the blockages to them becoming an outstanding manager, and to build the skills necessary to stay at the top. Coaching is highly individualised and specific to the managers needs. Our coaches have in excess of 30 years experience in working in the corporate setting with proven and up-to-date research supporting their interventions.

Conflict is a natural part of life when two or more people come together. The effective resolution of conflicts is much less natural. This program will offer many tools to equip the participant deal better with conflicts. Unfortunately there is no "magic bullet" to resolve conflicts so the more tools in the bag the better to help reduce the potentially harmful effects of conflict.

EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE

In a recent research article about hiring senior managers almost 90% of all job ads required as an essential criteria, “superior people skills”. Experience and the research also show that those managers with strong people skills are better managers. Emotional Intelligence has been identified in many forms as far back as Aristotle but brought to our attention in more recent years as a necessary component of being a good manager. Using current research and appropriate testing managers will learn both what it is and how to develop it.

INFLUENCING SKILLS FOR MANAGERS

Significant research shows us what techniques of influencing others work or don’t work. It is important for all staff who need to influence others to better understand the approaches to use in a variety of settings. In the book by Robert Cialdini, The Psychology of Influence he presents us with the latest research and practical techniques to ensure our influencing of others is more likely to be successful.

It is important that the Executive team understand their individual and collective roles in guiding the organisation.

ONE-ON-ONE EXECUTIVE SUPPORT

It is not surprising that the saying ‘it is lonely at the top’ is more true today than ever before. Senior managers often have to deal with very complex and demanding issues with little or no support to turn to. Many struggle in silence and often feel burnt out by the relentless pace of the workplace. Many managers have benefited from one-on-one support so they can hear their own thinking about matters. This support is highly confidential. It is often off-site but can be in the managers own office – whatever works the best. The support person has over 40 year’s corporate experience, psychologically trained and skilled in the art of gentle support so that the manager can be supported at their own pace.

THE PSYCHOLOGY OF CHANGE

This program is designed for General Managers and Senior Leaders. Ever wonder what goes on in the mind of a person, even yourself, when confronted with change? If you dont understand the psychology of what you and your staff are experiencing during a major change, then you won't be able to lead them through it. It may not surprise you that most of us are resistant, to some degree, to changes we did not ask for nor agree with. By understanding the psychology of change we may be better able to introduce change such as major technological change, cultural change, or any change that is creating angst amongst your staff. This program will assist you to introduce change in a manner that will have greater acceptance and success. Video Here

TEAM DEVELOPMENT FOR SENIOR EXECUTIVES

High performing teams don’t happen by accident. The executive team is perhaps the most important in being able to demonstrate to the organisation both the importance of team cohesion and how to do it. This program will focus on the elements of High Performing Teams and through data collection identifies those areas which will need improvement.
