Powerful Personal Skills

When planning learning and development support, quick wins often come from targeting the daily challenges your people face and supporting the skills they constantly need to call on. Broad topics like productivity, collaboration and communication are often overlooked, but essential to performance.

Personal skills are used so frequently that they often become second nature – and as a result, they’re easy to overlook. But abilities like building trust, staying motivated or managing a heavy workload can all be significantly improved through focused, practical training which equips people with useful techniques and builds personal confidence.

By investing in these everyday capabilities, organisations not only help individuals work more effectively, but also strengthen team dynamics and wider workplace culture. The impact can be immediate: boosted morale, smoother collaboration, and greater resilience in the face of change, while also laying the foundations for sustained performance improvement.

As well as our reputation for powerful leadership development and coaching qualifications, Eliesha is known for our practical, impactful workshops that help professionals engage, self-regulate and consistently deliver great work.

Below are six of our most popular personal development sessions, chosen time and again by organisations looking to strengthen everyday capability across their teams. Here’s what drives those bookings:

Organisations choose this session to shift unhelpful thinking patterns and spark resilience. It’s especially popular during times of change or uncertainty, helping individuals reframe mistakes as learning opportunities and approach challenges with confidence, curiosity and persistence.

Where do staff get their motivation from? Is having something delegated to you frustrating or empowering? What are the qualities of effective feedback?

Your people are your most important asset and the relationship they have with their work is incredibly important. This workshop answer the questions above and more. Learners are encouraged to explore these important areas of personal performance, to develop their knowledge and change their approach.

Teams under pressure can struggle to find headspace for innovation. This workshop helps unlock everyday creativity, giving learners simple techniques to improve how things are done and think differently. Evaluations – which we conduct on all our delivery – suggest this session is particularly useful in fast-paced or highly procedural roles.

Many customers book this session to tackle overwhelm and inefficiency. It focuses on planning, prioritisation and managing distractions, helping staff feel more in control, reduce stress, and get meaningful work done. Ideal for busy teams with demanding workloads.

This workshop is popular in organisations focusing on wellbeing, hybrid working or workload management. It helps learners spot where boundaries are lacking and provides practical tools to be clear, assertive and respectful, boosting confidence and preventing burnout.

Many staff need basic finance skills despite not working in a ‘finance role’. This two-part learning session helps staff feel more confident handling budgets, understanding financial terminology, and seeing the bigger picture. It strips away jargon and helps learners engage more fully with commercial and operational decisions.


These sessions make a real difference – really quickly. Are you interested in bringing any of them to your team? We’re always happy to chat about your goals and share what’s worked well for others.

If you’re looking for practical, engaging learning that boosts everyday performance, we’d love to hear from you.
