Wed, 18 Jul 2018 12:03:39 +04

Things are changing - too quickly. Leadership in 2018 and beyond is pretty complex, frustrating and demanding. To cater for this evolution we must have greater levels of self-awareness, motivation and understanding.

The perfect storm is upon us

These two factors are making the situation worse…

The mishandling of BREXIT, making the future uncertain, business is frustrated and losing Heart, which again does not inspire confidence and investment results in the stagnation of the economy.

The Implementation of the Apprenticeship Levy which is driving down productivity as employers are having to pay the Levy which has stopped them developing existing and future Managers and Leaders as their training budgets are diverted to paying the Levy Tax.

In essence what this means is that Finance Directors are saying to training departments the Levy is now your training budget, thus stopping all other types of meaningful development, as companies have reduced the investment in developing their people.

We need to develop another million managers by 2024, just to tread water where we are economically at the moment. So, the government has it wrong again…we can't just afford to wait and see what happens, we need to take action.

There are opportunities to be had even in difficult times, companies that tend to buck the trend will invest more in their people. The evidence for these numbers comes from two sources, the first is Find courses 2018 L&D report, its cracking data, an independent study… and the second is the CMI; always on point with their data…

I have developed this programme which will help you overcome these hurdles.

Gallup has studied performance at hundreds of organisations and measured the engagement of 27 million employees and more than million work units over the past two decades…

It is the synthesis of this that enables effective leaders to recognise the effect of their own behaviours on other people and on the organisation, and to manage those behaviours to achieve the goals that they have agreed.

Our CMI Level 7 Award and Certificate in Strategic Management and Leadership development programmes place great emphasis on developing this ability; if you are to continue to improve your performance beyond the programme - hence the results driven focus.

Developing your leadership capability is an important characteristic of all successful leaders that they can reflect on their experiences and learn from them - effective leaders are not afraid of making mistakes, only of repeating mistakes.

This ability, to learn and develop, is integral to CMI Level 7 Award and Certificate in Strategic Management and Leadership.

We can deliver this program in house, contact us for further details.

Senior Leadership & Management Development

Overview
This programme is designed for senior managers and leaders who want to develop themselves as leaders and managers, who recognise they have to satisfy various stakeholders and also want to invest in their own personal brand. They may manage day to day operations and activities, and in doing so seek to make best use of their resources, understand the need to innovate and have a constant awareness of the need to optimise performance. They may also have to present arguments for change, construct business cases, lead change implementation and evaluate the impact of that change. These are the leaders/managers who will benefit from this course.

This 'tools' based leadership and management development programme focuses on the practicalities of leadership and management from a delivery perspective and, through a series of competency based leadership and management skills assessments and experiential leadership development exercises, develops confidence within the leader.

Becoming a more effective leader involves delegates in a complex process of changing behaviours, based on an understanding of leadership and on the development of a range of personal and interpersonal skills.

Simply understanding what leadership involves, or developing insight into the effect of one's own emotional state or values on decision-making, or being good at communicating with others is not sufficient, although each is a necessary component of any leadership role.

It is the synthesis of this that enables effective leaders to recognise the effect of their own behaviours on other people and on the organisation, and to manage those behaviours to achieve the goals that they have agreed.

Our Senior Leadership & Management Development Programme places great emphasis on developing this ability; if you are to continue to improve your performance beyond the programme itself - hence the results driven focus. This is an important characteristic of all successful leaders that they can reflect on their experiences and learn from them - effective leaders are not afraid of making mistakes, only of repeating mistakes.

This ability, to learn and develop, is integral to the Senior Leadership & Management Development Programme.

Mindful Coaching

Course overview:
'Mindfulness has important contributions to make to coaching which will enable you to become more efficient and productive'
'Most managers and leaders are currently TIME POOR, this experiential programme will help you create more space to be able to work ON the development Colleagues; the Team; the Department and the Organisation rather than just IN IT'
Coaching is fundamentally concerned with the enhancement of human self-regulation. As research is increasingly showing, mindfulness is a multifaceted psychological phenomena that reduces emotional and behavioural reactivity and supports adaptive, goal-directed self-regulation, which in today's world can benefit you.

The more detailed our understanding of mindfulness, the more effective we can be in using it to enhance the coachees/teams/customers/suppliers capacity to self-regulate.
'Mindful Coaching practice results in purposeful and positive change'.

'Better understanding and engagement with our people allows to us to use human connectivity to face adversity together, develop high performing teams which embrace the core skills of emotional intelligence and human motivation which are results orientated and not emotion led'.

The ability to achieve FOCUS together makes the workplace journey less complicated and more achievable by developing a culture of joint accountability which is underpinned by developmental leadership (development leadership is when coaching and engagement are at the fore, with excellence being achieved through the joint endeavour of the individual/team through inspiration and motivation). 'Goodwin 12/17'

How can mindfulness help in coaching?
Let's say for example, you're seeing a coach to help you deal with change effectively and together you've set action steps to achieve this to help you reach your goal of driving change through over a period of time.

In this context, mindfulness as part of a coaching programme can be extremely supportive in a number of ways as it offers the following outcomes:
• Develop greater self-compassion.
• More accepting and forgiving of themselves when they experience difficulty and are less likely to engage with self-critical mind chatter that leads to goal inhibiting behaviours.
• Understand that experience is constantly in flux and this helps them to keep going.
• People who regularly practice mindfulness are better equipped to deal with emotional and physical discomfort, they experience an increase in resilience that expands out into other areas of life.
• People who practice mindfulness have greater concentration and can stay focussed for longer.
In any area of life where emotional or physical discomfort is experienced or where extra focus or resilience is needed, mindful coaching is really supportive.

Mindful Leadership - Results Driven Group , Dubai

Mindful Leadership

Course overview
This four day course is for leaders who want to inject longevity and sustainability into their work lives, prevent leadership burnout, and generate performance in their organisation - reliably and respectfully.

Mindfulness is about actively paying attention to what is actually happening in the moment, in order to respond with integrity and thus remain focused on our strategic results. This enhances our ability to succeed in today's ever more dynamic and complex world.

Today, leaders have been described as facing a VUCA environment: one that is volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous. Previous notions of control and change management are being questioned, and new capabilities are now required of leaders.

Previous research, although still limited in work contexts, suggests that people who practise mindfulness at work report an improved ability to communicate clearly and a better ability to handle workplace conflict; they respond more appropriately to stressful situations, show greater self-awareness and perhaps have a greater capacity for innovation.

Evidence suggests that mindfulness practitioners are more resilient and more emotionally intelligent - better able to 'read' themselves, others and particular contexts/environments.
Our broadest contention is that those who are more mindful have a greater capacity to flex their own mental and emotional states, which benefits themselves and their organisations.

We have developed this cutting-edge interactive workshop to help managers become less stressed and defensive, and consequently more resilient, emotionally intelligent, and authentic as leaders.

Course content includes: Leadership development modules, mindfulness activities, online reading, leadership assessments and certification.
