Leadership in a Day!: In-House

<h2>Breaking Bias</h2><p>We all suffer from unconscious bias. Neuroscientists believe that more than 99% of the decisions we make and the actions we take are outside our conscious awareness. Most of the time we operate on autopilot - relying on deep-in-the-brain biases, preferences and assumptions that operate largely automatically.</p><p>While these mental shortcuts help us make decisions quickly and with little effort, they can have unintended consequences, including irrational thinking and faulty decision-making. When people are involved, bias can result in stereotyping, prejudice and a lack of diversity - and a multitude of problems at work.</p><p>This session helps people not only become aware of their own unconscious biases but gives them practical techniques for acting more consciously and making objective decisions.</p><h3>Learning Objectives</h3><ul><li>Appreciate the importance of understanding how unconscious bias works</li><li>Recognise our own hidden preferences, assumptions and biases</li><li>Know how to think more critically and consciously when making decisions</li><li>Be aware of the dangers of prejudice and stereotyping other people</li><li>Have an action plan for how to implement the learning so it's sustainable and transferrable</li></ul><section>
                    <h3>Welcome, agenda, reflection of own unconscious biases</h3><p>Welcome, introduction to the system. How our unconscious bias affects the everyday decisions we make. Quick reflection activity that uncovers participants' own unconscious biases, assumptions and hidden preferences. Agenda and personal objectives using 'chat'.</p><h3>Common biases</h3><p>Why humans have bias and the benefits of it in relation to making quick decisions. Being aware of the main biases (including Affinity Bias, Halo and Horns Effect and Confirmation Bias) so participants are able to manage them to avoid inappropriate decision-making.</p><h3>The impact of bias on business</h3><p>Our own biases are formed through experience and exist in nature to help us 'cut corners' on decision-making by using previous experience to help us make speedy assumptions. Bias can affect many actions and decisions made in business: recruiting people who meet the assumptions we make for success, 'women are more empathic', 'a person who has a degree will be better at the job', etc. The dangers of making decisions so quickly. How stress and fatigue affect our decisions. Group 'chat' exploring decisions participants have made in the past.</p><h3>Managing bias effectively</h3><p>Tips on managing bias and decision-making such as questioning the decisions you make, learning more about unconscious bias and hidden preferences. Reflection exercise helps participants identify what more they can and will do to control and avoid poor decision-making in future.</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>

Leadership in a Day!

<h2>Your Impact on Others</h2><p>Being technically good at your job isn't enough - good people skills are also essential. Whatever your profession and role, you need to be able to connect with others, present ideas assertively and build strong, lasting relationships. This practical session will cover self-awareness and how participants can develop their ability to make a positive impact, whatever the situation. They will discover how to avoid fading into the background, how to raise their profile and how to present ideas powerfully to internal stakeholders and managers.</p><h3>Learning objectives</h3><ul><li>Create a good impression on others - internally and externally</li><li>Have strategies for giving positive updates to raise personal profiles</li><li>Be able to assert your views and make an impact on others</li><li>Know how to structure your approach to get others to buy into your ideas</li></ul><section>
                    <h3>Welcome, agenda, overview</h3><p>What makes a positive first impression? Participants consider a series of images of people dressed and standing in different ways. What jobs do they think they do? Whether we like it or not, we make judgements about others. Others will also make quick judgements about you. This session is about taking control over what your impact is. Agenda, objectives.</p><h3>Creating a good first impression</h3><p>Introduction to the three channels of impact. The way we look, the way we talk and what we say. Group discussion about some of these elements including vocal impact, how loud we talk, pitch, how we look, the way we move and sit, handshakes and the language we use. Moving towards clear, assertive speech and intentional movement using guidelines shared by the facilitator. A series of practical demonstrations by the trainer and participants using microphone or video with feedback from the group. What works, what doesn't?</p><h3>Your impact in the workplace</h3><p>If you're not meeting for the first time, how can you create a positive reputation by the impact you have with colleagues and managers on a day-to-day basis? Strategies for asserting views in meetings, structuring your ideas ahead of time so you can deliver them confidently and others listen. The idea of delivering 'good news updates' that highlights the successes of you and your team.</p><h3>Getting buy-in</h3><p>Thinking about what's important to others. Adapting your approach to gain buy-in. Discussion via 'chat' to explore different strategies.</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>

Your Impact on Others

<h2>Building Bridges</h2><p>Some people seem to just 'click' with others, building a large network and loyal friendship group. Built on the current research into Social Intelligence, this workshop focuses on how you can take a strategic approach to building bridges rather than relying on chance. You need to be clear about your ultimate purpose and develop a structured plan for achieving it. It is also about connecting with others and that means conversational skills are critical, making engaging small talk and introducing yourself memorably.</p><h3>Learning objectives</h3><ul><li>Understand the social mind and how it works</li><li>Be able to take a strategic approach via net-mapping</li><li>Know how to reach out and connect with others</li><li>Adapt to different people and link others up</li><li>Have an action plan for how to implement the learning so it's sustainable and transferrable</li></ul><section>
                    <h3>Welcome, agenda, overview</h3><p>Why does building bridges with others matter? What are the benefits to you, your business and to other people? Group discussion via 'chat'.</p><h3>Understanding the social mind</h3><p>Introduction to up-to-date research into neuroscience and social intelligence. We are 'born social' and our brains are wired to connect with others.</p><h3>Who do you need to connect with?</h3><p>Group sharing session. Participants reflect on the areas where it would be most beneficial for them to increase relationships with. It could be internal, external, professional or personal. The facilitator introduces the idea of 'net-mapping', a practical tool for identifying your network and assessing the level of relationship between your connections. Identifying the level of the relationship based on Maister's Trust Equation. Individual activity where participants map their networks and then share the areas where they'd like to build stronger bridges.</p><h3>Reaching out and connecting</h3><p>Taking that first step of approaching someone else can be scary: the fear of rejection, saying something incorrect or seeming too keen can be barriers to reaching out. Strategies for intentional connection and how to get through those first few sentences, whether it's face-to-face, over the phone or online.</p><h3>Adapting to others</h3><p>People are different, and sometimes we need to re-build broken bridges with people we work with. Understanding that people see the world differently and thinking of how to adapt our approach and communication with them can be important for success. Brief discussion about behavioural styles using a high level description and tips for adapting.</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>
