5th October. Working Styles & Preferences: understanding yours and flexing to help others - We’ve all got our own preferred working style. This may or may not be the same as those of our team members, our colleagues, our boss or our service users. None of these are good or bad, right or wrong, they’re just different. This session will introduce some key aspects about your style and help you to start to think about how that impacts the people around you. We’ll also consider how you can flex your style to make working with others more effective if their style is different to yours. bit.ly/TrainingTeaWorkingStyles
19th October. Building and Developing an Exceptional Team - This session will share an overview of a practical framework to help you build and develop an exceptional, high performing, team. We’ll consider the key areas to focus on and talk about how to prioritise them so you don’t waste your time and money on the things you’re already good at or don’t need. bit.ly/TrainingTeaBuildingTeam
9th November. Managing Difficult Conversations - Having difficult conversations is part of managing people. Whilst difficult conversations may feel uncomfortable, if we avoid them or deal with them in an unplanned way, very little will change. With good preparation, a willingness to listen and clear communication, we can minimise the discomfort and create a more positive outcome than expected. This session will explore some tools and techniques to help you feel more prepared and comfortable when going into difficult discussions. bit.ly/TrainingTeaManageConvo
23rd November. Facilitation Skills - A facilitator’s role is to help a group of people to work together better, understand their common objectives and plan how to achieve them during meetings or discussions. A facilitator helps to make things easy, to make progress and succeed, whilst remaining ‘neutral’ and not taking a particular position in the discussion. bit.ly/TrainingTeaFacilitation
