Course Overview:
|
·
|
The programme 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 ‘skill practice’ in small groups. Delegates will be encouraged to draw upon and share their own work experiences, and to assimilate how the models might work for them in practice.
|
|
·
|
A feature of the workshop is the use of a Knowledge/Skill Checklist - a list of the knowledge and skills being developed. Delegates rate themselves at the start and finish of the workshop to establish the extent to which they have benefited from the day. This also gives the delegate, and their line manager, further analysis of their strengths, highlighting any further development needs.
|
|
·
|
Delegates will be supplied with full support documentation, supplied in spiral bound format.
|
|
·
|
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 workshop, 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 course you would like us to emphasise.
