Introduction to procurement (In-House)

<p>Conflict is a word that conjures up many emotions. It is something that most people would prefer to avoid, if possible. Work can be an emotive place. Positive relationships can make your life at work exciting, motivating and challenging, whilst relationships that do not hold value to you could make your life very difficult and stressful, especially if there is conflict between you and your manager. This course is essential for people who want to understand where conflict can be used to positive effect and how to manage conflict in your working relationships and see it as something positive that can stimulate the environment.</p><p>Research has shown that relationships at work are an extremely high motivational factor, and for a lot of people it has a higher importance that salary! Therefore, it is essential that we invest in relationships and search out new ways to make them better in order to have a more positive influence on our surroundings. By understanding why other people are in conflict we can manage the conversation a lot better, with outcomes managed more effectively so the 'conflict' will add value to the organisation.</p><p>This participative event will cover a wide variety of exercises and personal stories, and leave course participants with a clear strategy to identify when they are in conflict with someone and how they will structure their approach to get to a satisfactory outcome.</p>This is a workshop that targets anyone where conflict needs to be managed and cannot seem to resolve it, whether internally or externally. At the end of the day, participants will:<ul><li>Know their key relationships and the strength of those relationships</li><li>Complete the Strengths Deployment Inventory (SDI) to identify where you deploy your strengths</li><li>Understand what is important to you and your key stakeholders</li><li>Know how motivational value systems can influence behaviour</li><li>Tailor your communication style to match that of your opposite party</li><li>Know conflict strategies to resolve conflict in others</li><li>Learn to be more assertive when challenging</li><li>Achieve key personal, departmental and organisational objectives</li></ul><section>

		<h3>Description</h3>
		<p></p><h4>Today's workforce demands a lot from leaders: to be purpose-driven, authentic, inclusive, visionary yet humble; to create a space of psychological safety for their people and to show up without the armour of hierarchy. These demands can create a significant emotional load on leaders who are facing into a tide of consumer and shareholder activism, disruptive change to business practices and endless cost focus. Now is the time to understand that working on our personal resilience is not a sign of weakness, but of strength.</h4>
<h4>Join this course to engage with other leaders in learning resilience habits that make a difference now and can serve you for a lifetime.</h4>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Available as private Face to Face and virtual sessions (max 12 delegates) - £1,745 Plus VAT</strong></p>

<li>Workplace stress has reached epidemic proportions in many regions across the globe</li>
<li>The cost of presenteeism is double the cost of absenteeism</li>

Meet your trainer:
Hi, I’m Gemma Perella; a Personal Development Trainer and founder of The Self Leadership Initiative. The SLI is all about helping you to develop young leaders.

As a teenager in 2006 I stumbled across a leadership training programme that changed my life. I went from an introverted outsider to a confident and driven educator. Ever since, my mission has been inspiring and empowering young people to become the best versions of themselves.

Over the last 10 years I've been working with organisations that support young people. I deliver interactive and practical training programmes to equip students with the kinds of skills ‘they don’t teach you in school’ in order to help them become the confident, resilient and emotionally intelligent leaders that the world needs.
