10:30 - 11:30 Focusing on People, Their Needs - What motivates them - What makes people difficult - We frequently label team members that we do not click with.  A vicious cycle can occur.  How can we break it and start to maximise on apparent and hidden potential?

12:30 - 13:00 Evaluation of the Role Plays

13:00 - 14:00 Lunch

14:00 - 15:00 Key People Management Techniques, Leadership - Delegation frees a manager to develop his team and enables team members to have greater involvement, so why are we so resistent to it?  Communication is critical.  The way we direct will determine the success of any people manager.

15:00 - 16:30 Developing Your People - Explore, do not ignore.  People are our greatest asset when managed well and our biggest liability when managed badly.  What changes can we make to ensure we get the very best from our team?

Testimonials

Really engaging session, appreciate how all topics were linked back to us in our individual situations.

Jasmin Blockley, IWSR Drinks Market Analysis Ltd

Attended virtual course.

Very useful. 10/10.

Marie Allan, Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh

Attended virtual session:

Candida was a fantastic instructor, she made me feel comfortable and helped me understand my management style better and that I am doing a good job in supporting my team. This gave me the confidence to formulate a solid plan for my team going forward.

The course had a great structure, and the topics were engaging and really made me think outside of the regular management box.

Highly recommend this course to anyone considering it.

Claire Lacey, Barton Jones Packaging Ltd

Attended virtual course:

This was a fantastic course which outlined the basics well then went into detail around different areas of people management with a good variety of topics covered. 

Candy helped me explore and find the areas to develop that I didn’t even realise before going into the course. I went in not sure of what to expect but the course was open enough to talk through specific examples but also had a structure to take use through the topics that needed covering. The course was small enough so that you could talk about real examples and gave you the time and encouraged to do so. 

 I found the tasks enjoyable which broke up the day and pushing us to think outside the box. 

Candy allowed us the time to talk honestly and led us to options and solutions to all the scenarios outlined. 

Candy really listened and applied it to out specific situations offering advice. I have come away with a lot of techniques I will use in my role.
