<p>'Team identity' is an umbrella term that describes a team in terms of its vision, purpose, values, objectives and approach; in fact, everything that makes it unique. It brings a shared sense of what is important and what the team wants to achieve together. Building a team identity is an important step in enhancing commitment, trust, synergy and collaboration within the team.</p>
<p>This workshop provides an opportunity for your team to work together as 'one HR team' and begin the journey of creating a team identity. It enables participants to reflect on where the team has been, where it is going and how the team is perceived by the business. The workshop highlights existing strengths within the team, builds on and reinforces other initiatives being undertaken and supports the team in identifying practical steps that will help improve team effectiveness, create a team charter and enhance the value HR adds.</p>
<p>Underpinning the event is an analysis of how effectively the team is currently working together. This is typically achieved through the completion of a Team Effectiveness Survey before the event or a SWOT analysis on the day. If the survey is used, participants are asked to complete the survey before the training day and the feedback is collated by us and anonymised before being fed back on the day. It provides insight into ten key elements of teamwork and asks participants to respond to a series of open questions designed to get a view of team strengths and weaknesses as well as identifying what participants value about working within the team, what they find frustrating, and their ideas for improving team effectiveness. The questions can be tailored to individual client requirements.</p>
<p>Key outcomes for the day typically include a draft 'Team Charter' in the form of vision and mission statements, work on establishing a common approach and / or values and an action plan designed to build on the success of the team and enhance its effectiveness.</p><ul><li>A GREATER SENSE OF TEAM SPIRIT</li><li>A CLEARER FOCUS</li><li>FRESH IMPETUS BEHIND THE VISION AND MISSION</li><li>AN AGREED SET OF NEXT STEPS</li></ul><section>

<h2>Challenging Messages</h2><p>Being able to deal with difficult conversations effectively is an essential business skill that is invaluable in maintaining good relationships and retaining business. Disagreements don't disappear when they're ignored. People are often concerned about having a difficult conversation because they're worried the client or colleague might react defensively to what they've got to say. They need to be dealt with in an appropriate way that achieves the desired result and keeps the relationship intact. This session will give people valuable techniques to prepare for a difficult situation, get the conversation off to the best possible start and manage their emotions.</p><h3>Learning Objectives</h3><ul><li>Learn new strategies for handling difficult conversations effectively</li><li>Avoid wasting precious energy on feeling negative about a person or situation</li><li>Know how to structure the opening of a difficult conversation more effectively</li><li>Understand what makes a conversation difficult and be able to prepare effectively for it</li><li>Have increased the ability to manage one's own and others' emotions successfully</li></ul><section>
                    <h3>Welcome, agenda, reflection of own unconscious biases</h3><p>Welcome, introduction to the system. Facilitated 'chat' or 'mic' discussion: Which conversations do you find challenging? Agenda and personal objectives using 'chat'.</p><h3>Preparing for a challenging conversation</h3><p>Participants are challenged on how they currently prepare for difficult conversations. The importance of preparing for conversations they find challenging with tips shared. The value in predicting reactions and choosing words wisely. Participants reflect on a difficult conversation they have had recently or need to have, and plan what message they will deliver and how.</p><h3>Managing nerves and emotions</h3><p>Introduction to the belief cycle and how beliefs affect outcomes. How reframing beliefs can help change the delivery and outcome of challenging situations. Participants either reflect or work in pairs to reframe a belief they have about a difficult conversation they need to have or have recently had.</p><h3>Structuring and holding effective feedback conversations</h3><p>Participants are introduced to a tried-and-tested model for giving effective feedback. Opening difficult conversations and the importance of not approaching the conversation too lightly and diminishing the main message. Group 'chat' explores a feedback scenario.</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.

<h2>Managing Stress</h2><p>Wellness and wellbeing are experienced differently by all of us. One thing we do know, though, is that when our wellbeing is affected in one area, it can have an impact on other aspects of our lives. By focusing on and improving our overall wellbeing we build our resilience, our ability to cope and bounce back when things get tough. In times of uncertainty it is even more essential that we look after ourselves and ensure that we have the tools and reserves we need to get through and thrive.</p><p>This programme aims to help anybody who would like to strengthen their resilience or would just like to tap into some ways of managing their wellbeing more effectively at home and at work - and especially when working from home. The techniques suggested are up-to-date, evidenced-based approaches that will enable you to optimise your personal resilience rather than spend time wading through endless wellness fads and promotions.</p><p>Participants will be able to identify what they need to do differently in order to maintain their wellbeing and prioritise their personal resilience at work. They will discover ways to deal with challenges, such as negative emotions and feelings of overwhelm, to help their mental fitness. They will be able to take away practical ideas to immediately use in their work and personal lives.</p><h3>Learning objectives</h3><p>The overall objective of this unique programme is that participants will:</p><ul><li>Understand what resilience is and where it comes from</li><li>Learn about proven approaches and models that can be used to boost emotional and physical wellbeing and thereby strengthen resilience</li><li>Break unhealthy habits</li><li>Support others to stay well - at home and at work</li><li>Be inspired to create a wellness action plan and put some of these techniques into practice</li></ul><section>

<h2>Creativity (Advanced)</h2><p>In an era of rapid change, organisations need their staff to be creative and innovative. This isn't just a matter of what we do but of how we do it - creativity is just as much a feature of 'boring' management process flows as 'exciting' product development.

Life is hectic. Finding time out feels almost impossible. We want to pray, we want to reflect, but when we do find a snatched moment to ourselves, we remain distracted.
I've designed this space to help you reconnect with your breath, to gently stretch your body, and to listen... to the voice of your inner wisdom, and to the voice of your Beloved. 
We will meditate with scripture, we will journal, we will use creative means to listen to the Spirit.
We will sit with Love.
I hope you will come away feeling centred, refreshed and assured of your belovedness.
 Two hours, on Zoom.
"Come away with me to a quiet place"

The sessions will be shaped around the following themes this year:
October: Teresa of Avila
November: Letting Go
December: Advent / Expectant Hope
January: The Gifts of Winter Darkness
February: Love
March: Lent
April: No Session
May: Resurrection / Spring
June: TBC

July: The Gifts of Summer

You are invited to participate from the comfort of your own home. Ideally you'll be able to find a little space where you won't be interrupted. You might wish to ask those you share space with to help you protect this time by respecting your privacy.
All who sign up will be sent a link to the recording of the retreat which will remain live until the following session. If you would like to participate via recording, simply register for the event. It would be great if you could let me know that you won't be with us in real time.
