Maximum Performance

Coaching Moments

<h2>Team Identity Day</h2><p>All teams need to step back periodically and think about direction, where they have been and where they are going.</p><p>If a team is giving cause for concern, whether subjectively in terms of perception or more objectively in terms of its performance metrics, it may well be that the team is not functioning as well as it could with its existing resources. If there is no shared sense of purpose - no vision, no mission - then it is all too likely that energies are not being properly directed, that inefficiencies are arising and that the team is failing.</p><p>Equally, a newly formed team - or a recently restructured one - needs to focus first on the bigger picture before it can get down to the job of service delivery.</p><p>In situations such as this, a team identity day can be invaluable, helping the team establish a sense of direction, of purpose, of identity.</p><h3>Learning objectives</h3><p>This workshop usually has two very specific outcomes. First, a draft (or revised) vision and mission statements, sometimes expressed as a 'Team Charter'. And secondly, an agreed set of next steps. Individual participants tend to come away from the event, inspired and motivated, with an increased sense of purpose and commitment and a better understanding of their own role as well as that of the team as a whole.</p><section>

Inspiring Leader Programme: In-House

<h2>Public Service Manager Programme: In-House</h2><p>Volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity - the classic VUCA environment - are the order of the day. If this is the new normal, you need all the help you can get.</p><p>And that's why we developed this programme. Inspired by a tried-and-tested programme we already deliver for private sector organisations, this programme has been designed by our two lead specialists in public service management - Amanda Dudman and David Elverson. Amanda focuses on the management side of the equation, helping even the most experienced managers find new ways of working more effectively, while David focuses on supporting the commercial agenda.</p><p>Aimed at public service managers and leaders who line manage others, this ILM-recognised programme takes a modular approach and gives participants plenty of tools and strategies for dealing with current challenges in the workplace through expert trainer input and skills practice.</p><p>In addition, there is the opportunity to learn from peers, share experiences, address how to deal with the more challenging issues, and prepare action plans to implement with confidence back at work.</p><p>Tough times continue for public services as internal and external drivers in a fast-moving landscape put ever more pressure on managers, the 'squeezed middle'. Demands on resources and time mean that managers need practical and workable everyday solutions and approaches that support them in their busy, stretching daily work.</p><section>

Graphic design through common misconception is not just about layout and typography, but much more about ideas behind visual meaning. Graphic design can make a company more successful in the world if it makes communication smart, attractive and able to captivate its audience. Graphic design can effectively be used by businesses to make (or break) their brand identity, increase sales, promote web traffic or promote services and products through advertising on their websites to convey complex data to its readers in a clear way.</p><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">Elements of graphic design include:&nbsp;<strong fr-original-style="" style="font-weight: 700; box-sizing: border-box;">Colour, Size, Texture, Line, Shape, Space and, Form</strong>. It is important that each element is understood correctly, and this is one of the key principles we teach on our graphic design course. In other terms, graphic design communicates certain ideas or messages through visuals. These visuals can be as simple as a business logo, or as complex as pages of web design. This course goes beyond just the practical side of graphic design and includes the theory and substance behind modern graphic design.<br fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><br fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;"></p><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;"><strong fr-original-style="" style="font-weight: 700; box-sizing: border-box;">Your teacher will guide you on:</strong></p><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">What salary you can expect at the start of your career?<br fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">How to get new clients for your business for freelance designers ?<br fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">How to find work for the new graphic designer starting out in the big world?<br fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">How to quickly integrate into the graphic design field?<br fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">How to combine working from home versus working at a studio ?</p></div><div data-id="9eeb2d6" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="text-editor.default" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style=" color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><br fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;"></div></div></section><section data-id="9dd6ca4" data-element_type="section" data-settings='{"background_background":"classic"}' style="color: rgb(74, 74, 74); box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style=" color: rgb(74, 74, 74);"><div data-id="c7b1c39" data-element_type="column" data-settings='{"background_background":"classic"}' fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><div data-id="d1226d1" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="heading.default" fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><h2 style="color: rgb(44, 132, 238); box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style=" color: rgb(44, 132, 238);">Begin one-to-one online learning with your very own private tutor</h2></div></div></section><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;"><img src="https://images.cademy.co.uk/0832ed64-c289-46fe-8a61-ae4fb9d9c688/14e85caa-6eee-4593-8ec3-48bdfc839153/original.webp" style="width: 698px; display: block; vertical-align: top; margin: 5px auto; text-align: center; cursor: auto; padding: 0px 1px; user-select: none; max-width: 100%; position: relative; box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style="width: 698px; display: block; vertical-align: top; margin: 5px auto; text-align: center; cursor: auto;" fr-original-class="fr-draggable"></p><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;"></p><hr fr-original-style="" style="border-color: var(--border-muted); border-style: solid; clear: both; break-after: page; user-select: none; box-sizing: border-box;"><br fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;"></p><div data-id="833cc17" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="heading.default" id="isPasted" fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><div data-id="833cc17" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="heading.default" style="color: rgb(74, 74, 74); box-sizing: border-box;" id="isPasted" fr-original-style=" color: rgb(74, 74, 74);"><h2 style="color: rgb(33, 33, 33); box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style=" color: rgb(33, 33, 33);">Interested?</h2></div><div data-id="63ead7e" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="text-editor.default" style="color: rgb(12, 12, 12); box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style=" color: rgb(12, 12, 12);"><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">Our course is 7 months long, consisting of 1 hour 30 minutes of online one-to-one sessions.
