Powering Performance: Now You’re Talking!

The single most effective way to build internal capability? Through powerful, focused performance conversations that engage each person and drive results.

At least 70% of that engagement is down to the manager according to Gallup research, with one-to-one conversations at the centre.

These conversations are rarely easy, however, especially when you’re holding them at distance or discussing a performance shortfall. Powering Performance develops the skills you need to navigate them with confidence.  Delegates learn how to:

  • Set up a strong mutually-accountable relationship with each team member
  • Explore what’s working well and leverage each person’s capabilities
  • Explore what’s not working well and close gaps
  • Handle difficult conversations calmly and assertively (delegates are welcome to discuss individual issues)

Here’s just some of the feedback from our CIPD Performance Management Workshop: “Led with charisma and charm, the facilitators made a heavy topic fun and accessible.” “Fantastic workshop, dynamic, engaging, fresh material.”

The higher leaders go, the more their technical skills are taken for granted. Increasingly, it’s an ability to communicate that will help leaders develop successful professional relationships.

Leading with Impact explores how to increase personal influence through receiver-driven communication. Delegates receive an individual report using a psychometric diagnostic tool showing where their influencing strengths lie, as well as any gaps.

Delegates learn how to:

  • Understand their personal influencing style
  • Recognise and respond to the different influencing styles of others
  • Improve their personal impact through receiver-driven communication
  • Handle conflict situations confidently and skilfully
  • Practise the skills in a safe setting

Includes Psysoft Influencing Style Indicator questionnaire.

“Highly practical and very useful to understand my personal influencing style, more please!”

The leader’s coaching skills are one of the single biggest—if not the biggest—influences on productivity. They’re the difference between teams that are focused, energized and motivated and those that are delivering average performance.

This programme covers how to lead those day-to-day coaching conversations. Delegates will learn how to:

  • Lead one-to-one performance conversations that help people deliver their best work
  • Identify the two questions that must be asked when delegating a task
  • Identify how motivation impacts each person’s performance and what action to take
  • Use their personal performance leadership style effectively

Each delegate will receive feedback about their personal performance leadership style, both what comes easily to them and what may take more practice.

Wellbeing is a critical factor in the workplace.  Demanding targets, high client/staff  expectations, a heavy day-to-day workload, each requires the ability to manage pressure effectively. Productivity depends on it, but so too does health.

Resilience at Work provides participants with the tools they need to increase their wellbeing and performance. Delegates learn techniques for developing more effective mental armour. Above all, they learn how to manage pressure in the moment it occurs.

The programme introduces:

  • The underlying neuroscience: why and how the brain reacts the way it does
  • How to prevent being ‘hijacked’ by stress
  • How to build control mechanisms that lead to stronger relationships
  • Tools to improve attention and focus
  • Techniques to support staff wellbeing

This is a highly experiential programme. Delegates can discuss the challenges they face in the workplace and try new approaches in a safe environment.

“The first time that I’ve been given a workshop that is helpful for me as an individual as well as a professional.” “Simply brilliant.”

Board-level relationships are influenced by the impression you create. Advanced technical knowledge and organisational awareness are critical, but they’re often simply what ‘gets you in the door’. From then on, your differentiator is your ability to adapt your communication strategies and style to the needs of the moment and the personalities involved.

This in-person or online programme is facilitated by Peter Rolston, a former Sky News anchor and expert in televisual impact. In this programme he uses that experience to help delegates develop their communication strengths in an in-person setting, including where to focus for greatest professional and personal value. His facilitation is renowned for being highly engaging and intensely practical.

Delegates learn how to:

-Ensure that in every interaction with a face-to-face audience, they deliver the best version of themselves
-Explore their own authentic style for communicating with others
-Combine an understanding of their own communication style with “ownership” of the message
-Ensure material is relevant and memorable to the audience

-Avoid the top 10 mistakes that business leaders makes
