Training Course Features:
- The training course will combine the ‘training in’ of a range of communication and
managerial models, with opportunities to practice the models in the ‘safe’ training
environment.
- A variety of training methods are used, including group discussion, self-diagnostic
questionnaire, syndicate work, practical demonstrations and role-play.
- Delegates will be supplied with full support documentation, supplied in spiral bound
format.
- A Knowledge/Skill Checklist is utilised on the training course. Delegates rate themselves
before and after the training course, to establish the extent to which they have
benefited from the event. This also gives the delegate, and their line manager, further
analysis of their strengths, highlighting any further development needs.
- A mini exhibition of management skill books, additional handouts and ‘hints and tips’
sheets will be provided in the training room, for delegates to visit during ‘down-time’
e.g. at breaks; finishing an exercise before others.
- Prior to delivery of the leadership development training course, we would host a
telephone meeting with you to establish the nature of the delegate’s roles, their
strengths and development areas and any areas of the training course you would like
us to emphasise.
