Catch your Leadership Capabilities Up

As people progress in their careers, most of the focus on developing their capabilities is in the area of their technical skills (e.g. ensuring technology supports the business, rapid product development, managing costs, meeting production targets, innovation in service delivery, etc.).  

There comes a time in every technical Leaders’s career where their Leadership capabilities need to “catch up” to their technical capabilities.

Having managers, supervisors and team leaders in your organisation match their Leadership skills to their technical skills, your leaders will:

  • Develop confidence in presenting an inspiring

    vision to their team and stakeholders

  • Have a repeatable system for planning with purpose

  • Be engaging, collaborative and inspire action

  • Implement accountability

Presenting Face-to-face and digitally

Whether it is presenting to your team, the entire organisation, a client or other stakeholders, effectiveness is measured by whether you were able to have then think, feel or do something different than they were otherwise going to.

Many roles in organisations are responsible for mastering Influence and Persuasion skills – managers, supervisors, team, leaders, client facing roles and others. Influence and Persuasion are an art. People need to be more psychologists than mechanics.

These workshops look at sets of scientifically proven techniques that:

  • Allow people to recognise what forms of influence and persuasion will be effective

  • Develop skills and capabilities in applying multiple influencing and persuasion techniques

  • Master the ability to lead conversations to a desired outcome

  • Negotiate the path to mutually beneficial agreements

Agile Leadership Skills Training

Your Leaders and Managers have had a career filled with developing technical skills. They now need intensive skill development in the skills that allow them to lead teams of technically skilled people.

The technical skills they have mastered are not going to be sufficient to get their team or the organisation to fulfill their potential. Traditional Leadership Skills Training is also not going to give them the skills they need to lead highly technical teams.

This Agile Leadership Skills Training is designed to help your people and teams:

  • Develop confidence in leading a team of highly technical people

  • Have a repeatable system for planning with purpose

  • Be engaging, collaborative and create results

  • Inspire autonomy, accountability and repeatable results

Influence and Persuasion

Being able to influence and persuade others is a critical skill in leading organisations. Knowing what needs to be done and having others agree that it’s right and do it are two very different things. Being right doesn’t make others do what’s right.

The art (and it is an art) of influencing and persuading others is the oil that lubricates the wheels that keep an organisation moving. When people agree on a certain path and to work together to get there, cohesiveness, performance, productivity and creativity soar. People have not been taught this art together with the technical skills they learned to do their jobs well.

This Influence and Persuasion Training lets your people:

  • Recognise the difference between manipulation, coercion, persuasion and influence (and when any of them may be appropriate)

  • Adapt their communication style to what will be effective for the other person

  • Use the 6 scientifically proven techniques (based on Robert Cialdini’s work) that influence others

  • “Reframe” what needs to be understood and done so that it is valuable to others

  • Use “Leading Questions” to guide the conversation to the desired outcome

Facilitation Skills Training

It is impossible to be part of an organisation today and not have to present or run a meeting at some time or another. Staff meetings, project meetings, planning and coordinating meetings—they all need a clear purpose and firm hand to be efficient and effective.

With its focus on asking rather than telling, and listening to build consensus, facilitation is the new leadership ideal, the core competency everybody needs. Managers and supervisors are often asked to facilitate rather than instruct, or to manage their meetings and training sessions in this manner. Facilitation skills do not come naturally, but they can be learned.

This Facilitation develops the ability to:

  • Distinguish facilitation from instruction and training

  • Identify the competencies linked to effective group facilitation

  • Explore the difference between content and process

  • Identify the four stages of meeting progress ways to help teams through each stage

  • Use common process tools to make meetings easier and more productive

Emotional Intelligence Training

People are more emotional than they are logical. Many technically-minded Leaders are experts in facts and less so in reading people’s emotions. You may be unlikely to communicate effectively. It is time to match your EQ to your IQ.

This training, using the globally accredited “Genos Emotional Intelligence” assessment and reports, guides people through the process of recognising their own and other people’s emotional state when communicating, and adapting their communications to be effective.

It has been said that “IQ will get you a job, EQ will get you a promotion”.

This Emotional Intelligence Training develops the ability to:

  • Be aware of our own and others’ emotional state when communicating

  • Adapt our communications to the most appropriate and effective style

  • Balance information and emotions to create engagement

  • Develop resilience in ourselves and others

  • Inspire action in the desired direction

Train the Trainer

Training isn't just for trainers. Every day, training is becoming part of more job descriptions, for team leaders, supervisors and managers across the organisation.

Whether it's teaching a new employee what their role is, or training 100 employees on better time management skills, some basic learning principles apply. This course will help participants become the type of trainer that effectively transfers knowledge, skills and ability. It supports participants in becoming good trainers and  develop their skills in many areas, including being good communicators, who are genuine when they are working with others.

Participants of this course will learn to:

  • Develop the essential skills for a trainer

  • Master the foundations of adult learning

  • Develop a training session

  • Add fun and games to your program

  • Be familiar with multiple delivery methods

  • And much more!
