<h2>InInspiring Leader Programme</h2><p>1 personal profile, 2 360Â° reviews, 4 one-to-one coaching sessions and 4 two-day workshops to help you become an inspiring leader</p><p>&amp;'Leadership' is a much abused word. You may be in - or aspire to - a leadership position but would those around you recognise you as a leader in your organisation? Or would they simply see you as a good manager? What's the difference?</p><p>&amp;'Leadership' implies &amp;'followership'. That's the key difference from management. True leaders inspire others to follow.</p><p>They don't just tell them which way to go.</p><p>This programme is designed for those in, or aspiring to, a leadership position. It takes a very practical &amp;'bite-sized', modular, approach which gives you plenty of tools and strategies to apply within your organisation as well as the opportunity to learn from others' experiences, reflect on your own, and benefit from the inspirational advice and guidance of an expert trainer and leadership specialist, David Durkin.</p><section>

<h2>Understanding Cultural Differences</h2><p>Doing business internationally is a daily matter for many companies and professionals. The same goes for working with customers, suppliers, and colleagues from different cultures.</p><p>Most people, however, underestimate the importance of intercultural competence, thinking that as long as the two parties speak the same language (ie, English) everything is going to be fine.</p><p>This interactive session focuses on the key components of what we call 'culture' and provides some tips to avoid the most common pitfalls of intercultural communication. It's the essential introduction to a complete cycle of deep-dive modules on cross-cultural communication and management.</p><h3>Learning objectives</h3><ul><li>Understand what is meant by 'culture' and why it is far more than nationality or language</li><li>Identify cultural stereotypes and biases</li><li>Learn about core cultural dimensions affecting business relationships</li><li>Develop an understanding of preferences and differences</li><li>Know the key areas to pay attention to in order to avoid major cultural faux pas</li></ul><section>

<h2>Coaching Skills in a Time of Covid</h2><p>Are you maintaining the right level of personal contact? Are you totally submerged by emails? Or are you spending hours longer on the phone than you would like?</p><p>Now might be the time to step back for an hour to take a hard look at how your approach might benefit from a greater focus on the use of your coaching skills.</p><p>Using a coaching style means that you can have great conversations in which you create a sense of connection, listen, ask challenging questions and give feedback that encourages fresh thinking. All of this is good for those you manage, of course - but it's also great for you.</p><p>Used appropriately, as this session will demonstrate, a coaching approach to conversations can help you create a greater sense of connection as you manage your team members virtually. It's a way of working with them holistically to ensure that you deal with their needs whilst at the same time moving them forwards with work-oriented coaching conversations that reduce the burden on you.</p><h3>Learning Objectives</h3><ul><li>Deal with your team's issues more effectively</li><li>Maintain their motivation and productivity</li><li>Reduce the strain on yourself</li></ul><section>

<h2>Working From Home - HR and Employment Law Issues</h2><p>The Covid-19 crisis continues to affect businesses across the board and the way in which we work as managers and individuals has changed dramatically. Rapid changes to our normal ways of working put a focus on what HR can do to best add value in these unprecedented times - not least, grappling with the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme. Now more than ever, HR input is essential in supporting the business, in keeping abreast of new developments, and in supporting/developing managers and employees. Before long, HR will also be key to supporting the organisation post-Covid-19.</p><p>In amongst the many changes it is important that we remember and reinforce what has remained the same. This includes, of course, our legal obligations as well as upholding organisational expectations and responsibilities in relation to key HR policies and standards of behaviour.</p><p>This interactive hour-long webinar aims to help HR professionals through the complexity of HR and employment issues that are facing businesses grappling with the implications of Covid-19 today.</p><h3>Learning objectives</h3><p>This is a unique opportunity to ensure that you've got all the bases covered, including:</p><ul><li>Key employment law aspects of changed ways of working</li><li>Confidentiality and GDPR</li><li>Furlough</li><li>Impact on HR policies</li><li>Employer responsibilities for those WFH</li><li>Practical aspects of handling issues remotely</li></ul><section>

<h2>Great Feedback</h2><p>Giving and receiving feedback may come naturally to some, but to others they are difficult and painful. It doesn't have to be that way. Participants will explore the myriad benefits of feedback, how it can be positive and developmental and reduce workplace conflict and errors. Focusing on the importance of clarity, empathy, rapport and collaboration as well as knowing your desired outcome, they will leave more confident in delivering feedback to others with impact.</p><h3>Learning objectives</h3><ul><li>Develop strategies for getting key feedback across</li><li>Be able to use a variety of techniques for structuring feedback</li><li>Increase their ability to give and receive feedback effectively</li><li>Know how to deliver messages with empathy and compassion</li><li>Be able to receive feedback with grace</li></ul><section>
                    <h3>Welcome, agenda, overview</h3><p>What are the benefits of feedback? Using whiteboard participants brainstorm the benefits of giving feedback to them, the business and to the person receiving it. Agenda, objectives.</p><h3>Feedback as development</h3><p>One of the things that will have come out in a discussion about the benefits of feedback is its role in personal development. Without feedback people are unable to see what's in their blind spot and make the changes to move forward. Changing the mindset that feedback is always negative.</p><h3>Feedback practice</h3><p>The facilitator introduces a powerful tool for delivering feedback. Ensuring the conversation is collaborative and uncovers the reasons for the behaviour. Separating the behaviour from the person. Ensuring they focus on &amp;'feed-forward' rather than &amp;'feed-back' so that the conversation focusses on how behaviours can change in the future. Volunteers demo the technique with feedback from the group and the trainer.</p><h3>Handling emotions</h3><p>Managing your and others' emotions. What about if things get heated or you end up reaching a level of conflict? The power of &amp;'naming your emotions' in order to manage them effectively.</p><h3>Action plans and next steps</h3><p>Participants reflect on their next steps and how they will implement their learning in the workplace. Each person makes a commitment for what they will do differently in a group whiteboard which can be circulated to participants following the session as a reminder of their actions.</p><h3>Close</h3>
