We understand that people new to management can find the step change challenging, even overwhelming at times. We provide training for new managers in a range of managerial disciplines to help ease the transition into effective management and avoid many of the pitfalls inexperienced managers can face.

For example, we can train your managers in:

• Effective appraisals – including tough conversations and constructive feedback
• Coaching for managers
• Providing constructive feedback
• Developing an effective management style
• Motivating and inspiring staff
• Public Speaking & High Impact presentations
• Developing authority and presence
• Creating a management mindset
• Influencing and negotiating

We also provide development for more experienced managers around specific skills and behaviours, whether as a refresher or to supplement their existing skill set. This can be useful, whether as preparation for or following promotion, during organisational or staffing changes, to support new strategic directions and initiatives, changing cultures or tackling specific performance issues.

We understand that from time to time, conflicts can arise in the workplace, through personality clashes, communication breakdowns, political issues and operational challenges. Whatever the reason, these conflicts can create a less than comfortable working environment and have significant ripple effects beyond the individuals involved and impact on productivity, performance and wider relationships.

We are experienced in facilitating both individual and joint interventions to diagnose and address the key issues, putting into place practical solutions to help parties move forward together.
