<p>Stress continues to have a major impact in organisations. According to HSE research, the total number of working days lost due to this condition last year was 9.9 million days with stress accounting for 43% of all working days lost due to ill health. Despite this huge impact, CIPD research shows that many organisations are failing to take adequate steps to proactively identify and reduce stress in the workplace and many struggle to recognise and support staff who are already suffering from stress-related symptoms.</p>
<p>This programme has therefore been designed to help HR professionals identify how they can best support their organisation in preventing, reducing and managing stress. It recognises the role that HR can play in helping develop proactive strategies to reduce incidents of work-related stress as well as helping individuals to cope with or recover from stressful situations. It also recognises the important role that HR has in equipping managers with the necessary knowledge, skills and confidence to manage stress within their team appropriately. The workshop provides participants with a wealth of ideas, strategies and tools to use within their organisations. It draws on current research, best practice guidance, lessons from case law and learning from a wide range of organisations in the form of case studies.</p><ul><li>UNDERSTAND THE IMPACT OF STRESS AT WORK AND THE CAUSES OF WORK-RELATED STRESS</li><li>UNDERSTAND THE BENEFITS OF PROACTIVELY MANAGING STRESS, INCLUDING MINIMISING LEGAL RISK</li><li>KNOW HOW HR CAN BEST SUPPORT THE ORGANISATION AS A WHOLE IN MANAGING STRESS AND, IN PARTICULAR, HOW TO SUPPORT MANAGERS PREVENT AND RESPOND APPROPRIATELY TO STRESS WITHIN THEIR TEAM</li><li>HAVE LEARNT HOW OTHER ORGANISATIONS TACKLE STRESS AND THE RANGE OF SUPPORT AND WIDER TOOLS AND INITIATIVES AVAILABLE</li><li>HAVE REVIEWED HOW THEIR ORGANISATION PREVENTS AND MANAGES STRESS AND HAVE IDENTIFIED AREAS FOR IMPROVEMENT</li></ul><section>

<p>This is not a single course but a set of menu options from which you can 'pick and mix' to create a draft programme yourself, as a discussion document which we can then fine-tune with you. For a day's training course, simply consider your objectives, select six hours' worth of modules and let us do the fine-tuning so that you get the best possible training result.</p>Consider your objectives carefully for maximum benefit from the course. Is the training for new or experienced credit control staff? Are there specific issues to be addressed within your particular sector (eg, housing, education, utilities, etc)? Do your staff need to know more about the legal issues? Or would a practical demonstration of effective telephone tactics be more useful to them?<section>
                    <h3>Menu</h3>Rather than a generic course outline, the expert trainer has prepared a training 'menu' from which you can select those topics of most relevance to your organisation.

Untangle your Data Governance issue and collaborate with your peers during this one-day Mastermind
Discuss Data Governance approaches with people who get it
Are you struggling with a Data Governance issue and wish you had a team of other Data Governance professionals you could bounce it around with?
You’ve done Data Governance training and you know what you’re focusing on. While your team is supportive, you spend a lot of time dealing with, and driving forward, culture change, managing stakeholders, and fielding questions from people who have their own priorities and now need to do this ‘Data Governance stuff’ on top. 
It would be nice, once in a while, to have a conversation about how to achieve something free from internal issues. You want to talk about best practices and get some alternative ideas.
That’s what my Data Governance Mastermind gives you: space to reflect with the support of your peers and practical solutions you can implement.
What is a mastermind?
Mastermind groups are the definition of ‘sharing is caring’. It’s you and your fellow peers – people who do what you do - gathering to brainstorm, problem solve, set goals and be each other’s support network.
At the Data Governance Mastermind, you will meet and learn from other people implementing Data Governance initiatives. 
It’s a one-day event, on Zoom. One of the benefits of attending is you’ll get 30 minutes in the ‘hot seat’ where you can share something you’re struggling with and get input from the group. 
What you can expect during the day
Discussions about different aspects of Data Governance and the opportunity to share what’s worked for you.
Tailored advice specific to your situation from me.
Insights from other people implementing Data Governance about what’s worked for them, what hasn’t worked, and how they have tackled issues.
30 minutes in the hot seat so you can share something you need help with and get practical suggestions from the rest of the delegates.
Time to reflect and share learnings from discussions so you have your key takeaways written down, ready to take back to work with you.
Get to know other Data Governance professionals and build a support network
Get an action plan and confidence to take your next steps with Data Governance
Get ready to discover new ways of approaching your Data Governance challenges, while getting to know professionals from a range of industries.
You will:
Get a clear action plan to take away with you to tackle your specific Data Governance issues.
Develop a wider network of supportive Data Governance professionals, people got your back and will be available to continue to network and ask advice or in the future.
Leave with the confidence that you're not alone in tackling these issues. There are other people going through similar experiences that are willing to help you out.
Is attending a Mastermind right for me? 
Every individual's Data Governance journey is unique. Take my scorecard to determine if my Mastermind programme is the right fit for you and will effectively support your specific needs. You can also find out more about the day on my website.

Strategic planning is often perceived as being difficult and requiring specialist skills - and also as being too challenging or lacking value when the future is so uncertain; leaders can often find it difficult to know how best to go about strategic planning in their organisation, and how to ensure that strategy is managed successfully.

In this Strategy Insights Masterclass we will start from 'first principles' and explore what strategic planning is really about and how to approach it effectively (including how to consider the uncertainty of the future). The aim is to stimulate your thinking about what might be the right approach to strategic planning in your organisation (every organisation is different!); the Masterclass will be participative, with opportunities to work and share ideas with other delegates (without disclosing any organisational confidences).
[This Masterclass has been given previously for specific groups, and given the feedback from participants is now being made available for open booking.]

Discernment Formation for Course Leaders
with Rachel Overton and Nick Helm
This programme aims to enable course leaders to develop or sharpen up discernment processes within formation programmes for spiritual directors from all traditions. 
A previous participant says:
'This programme really helped me to find a language with which to fully understand discernment processes for myself and for my facilitating the development of others.’ 
Discernment is not something that we ‘do’ at certain moments of decision in life. Rather it is the stance we should assume in every aspect of life and can be articulated in the question ‘how am I centred and responsive to God?’
As course leaders and people responsible for the formation of spiritual directors, we need to be aware of our own discernment processes if we are to enable others to grow in their ability to discern well. Such awareness also enables us to offer congruence between the formation programme we are a part of, the nature of spiritual accompaniment and being faithful to God in life. 
Over the course of the four day sessions, we will enable participants to engage with questions such as: 
What do you pay attention to within your own experience?
Why do you pay attention to that?
How do you respond to what you notice?
What choices do you make?
How does all of this apply to you personally, your role as a spiritual director and your role in the formation of spiritual directors.
 These will be explored in relation to the ‘triangle model’ of relationships within spiritual direction – a model which helps to sharpen awareness of the multiple aspects of discernment that we need to pay attention to.
The programme will be experiential, involving small group work as well as plenary sessions. Participants will also be expected to take time to reflect and continue to work with their own process in between sessions.
By the end of the programme, participants can expect to:
be more aware of their own process and language of discernment
have greater awareness of how discernment is lived in spiritual direction and spiritual direction formation
be more secure in their role as a trainer enabling discerning processes
have clarity about ways in which this discerning stance can be developed in the course they are involved in
All sessions will run on Zoom from 9.45am to 4.15pm
Previous participants share their responses to this programme: 
‘A safe space to open your heart to the unexpected.’
‘It opens up the process of discerning far better than reading it in a book.'
‘[It] may well change your perception of what discernment is all about and, with practice, it will change the way you live and pray. I would thoroughly recommend this learning process and experience.’
‘Approach with an attentive, open heart, recognising the potential to go deeper through exploring discernment by journeying both as individual and with others.’
‘A very in-depth programme that really gets to the heart of discernment. Don’t miss it - it can change your life!!’
‘It wasn't until I experienced this programme with Nick and Rachel that it became obvious how vital this clarification of, and approach to discernment is, and would whole-heartedly recommend this empowering course to the most seasoned of trainers as well as those just starting out.’
