One of the main responsibilities of a manager is to make sure that employees are satisfied with their job and reaching their full potential. A manager who can energise his or her employees will have a team which has a much greater potential and capability of achieving company goals and objectives. It is therefore vital that a manager has the essential skills to fully support and lead their team to success. This 3-day programme brings together the key leadership skills that you will need to be an effective manager so that you can return to the workplace and deliver tangible results. All of our ILM Programmes are provided in partnership with The BCF Group, which is the ILM Approved Centre we deliver under. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- COURSE SYLLABUS The syllabus of the ILM Level 3 Award in Leadership and Management course is split into three main modules, covering the following: MODULE ONE SOLVING PROBLEMS AND MAKING DECISIONS * What is a problem? * How to identify a problem, its nature, scope and impact * Identifying the root cause * Understanding how to interpret information to solve a problem * What is involved in making an informed decision? * Generate ideas/solutions- creative thinking techniques * How to evaluate your options * Finding the critical path * Having confidence to commit to a decision * Planning approach * Communicating the decision * Implementing the plan MODULE TWO UNDERSTANDING LEADERSHIP * What is leadership? * Recognise the differences and similarities between leadership and management * Qualities and skills of a leader * Action Centered Leadership - Team, Task, Individual - John Adair * Varying leadership styles * Evaluating a range of leadership models and their significance for: Task, Performance, Culture, Relationships * Reflect on your own leadership styles and behaviours * Create an action plan to enhance your performance MODULE THREE UNDERSTANDING THE COMMUNICATION PROCESS IN THE WORKPLACE * Identify what is effective communication * Understand the importance of effective communication at work * Recognise the different ways we communicate * Recognise possible barriers to communication and how to overcome them * Johari's window - communication flows * How others will perceive and interpret the information you have provided * Active listening * Developing questioning skills * Understanding the significance of non-verbal communication and body language * Developing sensory acuity and how to use it effectively in the workplace -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IN-HOUSE & CLASSROOM COURSES AVAILABLE ONLINE We have developed an alternative to traditional face-to-face training that continues to provide a full learning experience, and allows delegates to learn effectively whilst self-isolating from home. This is how it looks: Delegates booked on Classroom and In-House courses will continue to have access to their trainer online throughout the days that the course is booked to run. Prior to a delegate's course start date, they will be enrolled on our e-learning platform (in partnership with BCF Group [https://www.thebcfgroup.co.uk/management-training/ilm-level-3-award-leadership-and-management.php]) for the course they are booked on to. They will also be given contact information for their trainer, and details of how to access the online workshops. Delegates will not require any special IT equipment. A desktop computer, laptop, tablet, or a mobile phone with internet and audio capability is all that is required. Delegates taking ILM Qualifications will then proceed to the book review, video review and work based assignments with 12 months tutor support as appropriate, and in line with our previous arrangements. We hope you agree that this blended learning experience represents the safest way to continue supporting our clients and delegates during the Coronavirus disruption. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IN-HOUSE COURSES As well as being one of the most popular open courses, we can also arrange this course as an in-house programme for companies and organisations who wish to develop a number of their managers at the same time, and would find an in-house course at their own premises much more suitable. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SCHEDULED COURSES CLASSROOM COURSE - NOTTINGHAM (NG12 4DG) Classroom training courses enable you to benefit from having the tutor and other delegates right there in the room with you.

Essential skills for successfully treating a wide range of conditions – such as trauma, addictions, anxiety and depression – as well as making long-lasting behaviour changes and much more… -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Accredited CPD Certificate : 6 hours * Length 1 day (9.30am - 4.00pm) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > This has been a priceless experience. Life-changing. Brilliant, simply > brilliant! > > COUNSELLOR / EX IT SERVICE MANAGER WHY TAKE THIS COURSE Strong emotions focus and lock attention – keeping people trapped in problem behaviours. Therapeutic change cannot happen until the emotional arousal is reduced. This is why all health and welfare professionals need to know how to induce the relaxation response in their clients. Guided imagery and visualisation not only reduce emotional arousal quickly but can be used to reframe life circumstances through metaphor and to rehearse in the imagination any required changed behaviours and/or feelings, which dramatically increases the likelihood of those changes taking place in ‘real life’. If you want to be able to help people effectively, this is a key course to attend – guided imagery is an essential skill required for removing phobias, curing PTSD, lifting depression and overcoming addictions or self-harm, and is also useful for raising self-confidence and increasing motivation. When you become confident in using these skills, you can begin to bring patients out of the emotionally-driven trance states of a wide range of conditions such as anxiety disorders, addiction, anger, stress overload, trauma, depression, chronic pain [https://www.humangivens.com/college/pain-management/] and much more [https://www.humangivens.com/college/guided-imagery-and-visualisation-workshop/#suitable]. That is why guided imagery is one of the most powerful psychotherapeutic tools available to us – and one you need in your ‘toolkit’. > Fascinating way of working with clients – relaxation techniques very powerful. > Extremely relevant to practice. Good techniques and strategies learnt to use > with clients to help them problem solve and move forward. > > HEALTH VISITOR     WHAT WILL YOU LEARN * Powerful new ways to improve treatment outcomes * Training and practice in using one of the most effective psycho- therapeutic tools available for treating a wide range of emotional and physical conditions * Invaluable ways to motivate people, reframe life circumstances and instigate changes in behaviour * Insight into how the mind/body communication system works * Greater confidence when working with a wide variety of conditions * Supervised practise in generating healing trances * The core skills you need to acquire for the rewind technique [https://www.humangivens.com/college/rewind-technique-training/] for treating PTSD and phobias * A variety of ways to help people relax * Ways to reduce pain, including in childbirth * Increased understanding of trance states and their role in everyday life * Effective skills for helping people improve their performance – sports, public speaking etc. * The opportunity to experience relaxation, guided imagery and visualisation yourself * A scientifically-sound knowledge of why the various techniques and skills you will gain are so valuable * And much more [https://www.humangivens.com/college/guided-imagery-and-visualisation-workshop/#programme] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- GOOD TO KNOW The skills you will learn on this course are an essential pre-requisite for taking the The Rewind Technique – Effective treatment for trauma (PTSD) and phobias course.
