The following topics are often covered in webinars, either standalone or as part of a wider development programme.

Impression management and developing your personal brand

The key conversations about your career very often happen...

when you are not in the room. Ensuring that those who make the decisions know the current truth about what you do is essential to you achieving your potential. The question is how you ensure that they have this information in a way that feels authentic. This webinar will give you practical tips and tools to ensure that others are not seeing you from the lens of old truths or half-truths.

Building confidence and defeating the imposter syndrome

Are you given the feedback needed to have more confidence...

in yourself or wonder if you are as good as others at your level? This is a practical webinar giving you the tools to counter the inner critic that makes you wonder if you are as good as ‘they’ are. We use neuroscience and easy techniques to help you retrain that inner critic so that it helps you achieve your potential, without becoming over-active, causing you to question your own abilities.

Inclusive leadership - how to create a safe and motivating space for you and your team

We all have unconscious biases even if the case for diversity...

is well known to us at a conscious level. How do you ensure that the team you lead is inclusive and your team members are able to use their differences to make the team even more effective? What are the micro-aggressions that might mean that people do not feel safe and motivated? What can you do about this as the leader of the team and what impact will it have on your team if you leave these unacknowledged? This webinar is a forum for you to explore what others have done and to consider what is needed to ensure your team is both diverse and inclusive.

Personal presence impact and influence

This webinar gives tips and tools to improve your personal presence...

so that you have impact in the way that you need it at work. We talk about the impact your online presence has before you even meet the other person and how your body language impacts others and yourself. We will examine different influencing styles to help you think about what is your natural style, but also what is the most effective style for the person whose mind or behaviour you want to influence.

Developing an effective network

Each of us needs networks in our lives to support and challenge us...

for example an operational network to get things done and a developmental network to support our career. This webinar gives you strategies that have been effective in determining the roles you need in your network, how you identify those who could fulfil those roles and how you can engage with them authentically.

Managing teams, effective feedback, gaining trust and motivating others

There comes a point in your career when it is not about...

what you can do, but what you can get done through others. This requires you to delegate effectively, communicate clearly, motivate others as well as giving and receiving feedback. This webinar shows best practice and gives you the opportunity to examine how you can invest in your team so that they give you the work you need from them efficiently and effectively.

Well-being and resilience: how to avoid burn out, minimise stress and maximise performance

Beyond a certain point an increase in the pressures of work...

becomes stress and has an adverse impact on performance. How do you spot the signs that you or members of your team are reaching that point where less pressure or more support is needed? What are the tools available to you to manage yourself and others as the pressure builds? This is a practical webinar looking at strategies that are effective in protecting you and your team from burn out.

Managing up and the effective management of organisational politics

Politics is the art of getting things done in a social system...

It is neither ‘good’ nor ‘bad’, but not engaging with it is not possible in organisational life.

Our aim in this webinar is to help you think about how you engage in this social system and who you need to engage with in order to meet the needs of yourself and your team. Our aim is to help you become more effective in meeting your aims at work with integrity and without any of the Machiavellian overtones that being good at organisational politics sometimes infers.

Developing financial awareness and skills

This webinar provides a high level view of which financial indicators matter most...

Providing links to performance targets and pricing and margin considerations, one of the goals is to provide a lens through which numbers can be more easily understood. Including as an option a look at financial statements.

Sponsors, mentors, supporters and role models – your development network

Achieving your potential is something that you cannot do alone...

You need others to support and challenge you from inside your organisation and from independent viewpoints. Many people mistakenly think that their supporters will act as sponsors or that they have to find one perfect role model. This webinar will help you think about who you need in your network to support your career and the roles they ned to take now and in the future.

The shift from ‘doer’ to ‘leader’ – thinking strategically

A leader needs to be able to look across all the possibilities...

available and choose the way ahead. They also need to be able to bring others with them.

These may be different skill sets to the ones that brought you to your organisation. Are you thinking about your role and that of your team in the widest context? Do you know how to motivate your team to follow you in the direction that you have chosen. Your challenge as a leader is to set the vision, articulate the strategy and make things happen through others. We will give you some maps and models to help you think like a leader and some space to think about the kind of leader you want to be.
