<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>

Dealing with Change

<h2>Emotional Intelligence</h2><p>Rational, problem-solving intelligence is not enough. You need EQ - the ability to monitor one's own and others' feelings and emotions, to discriminate among them, and to use this information to guide one's thinking and actions. Surprisingly, perhaps, this realisation has been one of the most important business developments in recent times. This session will help participants explore what it means for them and understand how to use it to make life easier, less stressful, more successful.</p><h3>Learning objectives</h3><ul><li>Identify your own emotional intelligence &amp;'blind spots'</li><li>Learn how to use emotional intelligence to bring out the best in others</li><li>Be able to cope with disappointments, challenges and obstacles more effectively</li><li>Know how to demonstrate empathy in a wide range of situations</li><li>Discover how to &amp;'read' the &amp;'silent messages' other people send out and what they're really saying</li><li>Explore techniques for using emotional intelligence during difficult conversations</li></ul><section>
                    <h3>Welcome, agenda, overview</h3><p>The origins of emotional intelligence and some of the thinking underpinning its importance. The value of developing your emotional intelligence from a personal and professional perspective. Welcome, agenda and personal objectives using &amp;'chat'.</p><h3>The EQ model</h3><p>Introduction to the factors that make up emotional intelligence: awareness and regulation of self and others. Getting to know the four-quadrant EQ model: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness and relationship management. Practical session covering each of the quadrants in turn:</p><ul><li>Self-awareness - How seeking honest, constructive feedback from others can give us a more accurate perspective on how we come across. Tools for increasing self-awareness and reducing &amp;'blind spots'.</li><li>Self-management - Learning to take control of your emotions, instead of being a victim of them. How to choose your response to people and situations rather than reacting automatically. Developing behavioural flexibility. Coping with disappointments and setbacks. Facilitator shares techniques for participants to practise live on the session. Feedback in &amp;'chat'.</li><li>Social-awareness - Recognising and understanding other people's emotions. Developing sensory acuity - the ability to read non-verbal cues such as body language and voice tone. Keeping your attention &amp;'out there' rather than being in your own thoughts. Images to practise the skill with discussion and feedback from the group using microphone.</li><li>Relationship-management - The importance of interpersonal skills. How to connect with people and build rapport with them, verbally and non-verbally. Demo exercise using either video or microphone with volunteers. Demonstrating empathy.</li></ul><h3>Managing difficult situations</h3><p>Staying controlled and unflappable in time of stress and tension. How to resolve disagreement and conflict easily and effectively. Thinking clearly and staying focused when under pressure. Dealing with strong emotions such as anger and frustration. Group discussion.</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.

The Effective Director

<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>

There is an emphasis on corporate illustration, composition, painting and logos as well as advertisement designs while focusing on vectors, lines, features, shapes, and spaces. All this will be integrated into how graphic elements are printed after they are processed in graphic design software for the purpose of visually illustrating emotions and messages.</p><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;"><br fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">During the course you will be exposed to:&nbsp;<strong fr-original-style="" style="font-weight: 700; box-sizing: border-box;">advertisements, magazines, newspapers, corporate graphic designs particular to company cultures and brand identity, stationery, letterheads, business cards, logos, books, packaging and much more.</strong></p></div><div data-id="68acc2a" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="image.default" fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><img width="1024" height="692" alt="" data-srcset="https://blueskygraphics.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Student-work-123456-1024x692.webp 1024w, https://blueskygraphics.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Student-work-123456-300x203.webp 300w, https://blueskygraphics.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Student-work-123456-768x519.webp 768w, https://blueskygraphics.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Student-work-123456.webp 1440w" data-src="https://blueskygraphics.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Student-work-123456-1024x692.webp" data-sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" src="https://blueskygraphics.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Student-work-123456-1024x692.webp" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" srcset="https://blueskygraphics.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Student-work-123456-1024x692.webp 1024w, https://blueskygraphics.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Student-work-123456-300x203.webp 300w, https://blueskygraphics.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Student-work-123456-768x519.webp 768w, https://blueskygraphics.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Student-work-123456.webp 1440w" fr-original-style="" style="cursor: pointer; padding: 0px 1px; user-select: none; max-width: 100%; position: relative; box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-class="fr-draggable"></div><div data-id="e3de655" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="text-editor.default" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style=" color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">The graphic design course teaches you to understand and learn how to operate a labyrinthine yet amazing world of Adobe software. With this software we explore the uses of words, shapes, textures, forms, sizes and colours to communicate by combining ideas and images to make a new concept. Graphic design through common misconception is not just about layout and typography, but much more about ideas behind visual meaning. Graphic design can make a company more successful in the world if it makes communication smart, attractive and able to captivate its audience. Graphic design can effectively be used by businesses to make (or break) their brand identity, increase sales, promote web traffic or promote services and products through advertising on their websites to convey complex data to its readers in a clear way.</p><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">Elements of graphic design include:&nbsp;<strong fr-original-style="" style="font-weight: 700; box-sizing: border-box;">Colour, Size, Texture, Line, Shape, Space and, Form</strong>. It is important that each element is understood correctly, and this is one of the key principles we teach on our graphic design course. In other terms, graphic design communicates certain ideas or messages through visuals. These visuals can be as simple as a business logo, or as complex as pages of web design.

Discover Calm and Happiness with The SHARE Project: Your Path to Resilience! 🌟
Are you feeling exhausted, overwhelmed and stretched to your limit?  With meetings and meltdowns to manage, battles for support, the frustration of feeling isolated or misunderstood, not to mention the pressure of juggling your job too, it can It can feel like you’re running on empty; hard to find a moment to step off the hamster wheel and just breathe.
I’ve been there, and I get it!💛
After being on the brink of burnout myself, I stumbled upon simple, yet life-changing self-help and relaxation tools. These quick, effective techniques helped me rebuild my resilience, reclaim my sense of self and navigate challenges with renewed strength. The transformation was so profound that I knew I had to share it with others—and that’s how The SHARE Project was born.
What is The SHARE Project?
The SHARE Project is built on a simple principle: you need to put your own oxygen mask on first!  By nurturing yourself, you’re better equipped to support your children. Through our four-week, live online workshop series, delivered via Zoom, you’ll discover practical tools to bring more calm and happiness into your daily life.
Here’s what you can expect:
Weekly Workshops:  Each week, we’ll introduce and practice a new tool designed to fit seamlessly into your life (just a few minutes a day, I promise!). These are not your typical “luxury spa day” suggestions — because let’s face it, who has time for that?  Instead, you’ll learn sustainable, go-to strategies that you can use anytime, anywhere, to boost your wellbeing, even in the midst of chaos.  You will also receive a mid-week email of encouragement between workshops and printables to help record and track your progress.
Ongoing Support:  In each session, we’ll review your progress, fine-tune your approach, and introduce the next tool.  This isn’t just a one-off workshop; it’s a journey of growth and connection.
Community Connection: You’ll be part of a supportive group of fellow SEN parents and carers who understand the unique challenges you face.  Together, we’ll share experiences, uplift each other, and grow stronger.
What our clients say:
“The SHARE Project was a gentle, kind experience which showed understanding for parenting with additional challenges.  The refocusing was extremely powerful and I felt nurtured by the sessions.”
“It has helped me to have a more positive outlook day-to-day, and the relaxation has helped with my sleep.”	
“I looked forward to the sessions each week, they gave me time to focus on myself for a change.”
Ready to Feel More Calm and Happy?
If you’re ready to step off the hamster wheel and start reclaiming your joy, The SHARE Project is here for you. Let’s work together to help you feel more at peace, more resilient, and, most importantly, more you.
