Learners will find out how to design coaching conversations that balance the need for high performance with welfare support for those working remotely.

  • Adaptive Leadership

    A style of leadership that is flexible and adaptable is a common requirement for people, as well as organisations, in modern times. Adapting to changing situations is a constant activity for everyone: those who can quickly, without causing distress to themselves and others, are more resilient and more likely to succeed in those circumstances than those who can’t. This virtual workshop explores and explains the theory of adaptive leadership, as well as the differentiation between the technical and adaptive elements of an organisational challenge.

  • Brilliance at Resilience

    In a stressful, uncertain, fast-changing world, boosting resilience in individuals and communities is more important than ever in helping us to prevent, reduce and better manage stress, depression and other mental illness, while boosting self-confidence and our ability to cope. Eliesha can provide two versions of this workshop depending on your requirements: one that explores resilience awareness and skills for all staff, and one that is tailored for managers and team leaders looking to learn more about resilience for themselves and their staff.

  • Coaching as a Leadership Style

    By looking at different leadership styles, including the idea of the ‘Incomplete Leader’, this virtual workshop encourages the move from ‘manager as guru’ to ‘leader as coach’. Leaders need to be equipped with the basic techniques of coaching as well as knowledge of the appropriate times to apply this style. There is specific focus on the GROW model as a starting point to developing active listening and questioning skills and an explanation of how a coaching approach in day-to-day management can support others to find their own solutions - creating engaged, motivated and productive teams.

  • Coaching Conversations

    With more and more professional managers expected and encouraged to be 'coaches' in the workplace, this virtual workshop explores how coaching can be woven into the day-to-day role of a modern manager via coaching conversations. It explains why coaching conversations are so powerful, why coaching is being encouraged in the workplace and when it is appropriate. It also outlines where coaching conversations fit within the performance review process.

  • Communicating with Impact

    In challenging times it is even more important to be able to communicate with impact, adjusting our style to best meet the needs of multiple stakeholders.

  • Creating a Productive Day

    Whilst patterns (and locations) of work continue to increase in unpredictability, there is value in professionals exploring the steps they can take to create productive days. A few simple changes in behaviours, practices and etiquette amongst everyone, and perhaps a few mindset changes as well, can make a huge difference to the number (and importance) of things crossed off ‘to-do’ lists at the end of every working day. his session is equally appropriate for those working in an office and working remotely.

  • Customer Excellence

    This virtual workshop introduces Customer Excellence: understanding the needs of a customer and how to meet them. Learning includes how personality types can impact communication with customers and, ultimately, how this can cause conflict or dissatisfaction. A simple activity helps raise awareness and encourages learners to think of ways to provide customer excellence through knowing their customers. Also explored are questioning techniques and listening skills, both of which can be the difference between customers feeling valued and doing taking their business elsewhere.

  • Dealing with Challenging Conversations

    This interactive and participative session is designed for staff who want to refresh and develop their skills for working with customers who present challenging behaviours. It focuses on tools and techniques for diffusing difficult conversations, including listening to customers with empathy, understanding the power of language, and more. Learners are encouraged to produce an action plan, including SMART objectives, at the end of the session.

  • Individual Change Journey

    A great deal of change is initiated outside of our direct control and this can lead to feeling overwhelmed, anxious and stressed. However, individuals are not simply passive recipients of change and there is a great deal they can do personally to manage, and often ultimately benefit from, the many changes that take place in work and personal lives. Individuals often have more control over their personal engagement with change than they may think. This virtual workshop provides valuable insight into individual change experiences as well as strategies and approaches to help individuals both survive and thrive on their individual change journey.

  • Introducing Emotional Intelligence

    Recent research makes a strong case for how Emotional Intelligence (EI) skills significantly benefit whole organisations. Now more than ever, leaders need to be equipped with an understanding of EI and basic skills which they can develop and grow for themselves and with their teams. This virtual workshop delivers an understanding of what the term Emotional Intelligence means and how individuals can assess their own capacity for it, as well as introducing techniques that will develop and improve it.

  • Leadership

    Effective leadership is critical to the on-going performance of any team. Furthermore, understanding the difference between leadership and management, as well as recognising when and how to lead and when to manage is also essential.

    Why do organisations change, and what makes that change strategic?

There are many models of change available to organisations, but learners will explore a generic overview model and look at leading change across boundaries.

This session aims to equip managers with some skills and understanding to better lead a hybrid team in a way that maintains high performance and strong engagement; and addresses the varying needs of the individuals that report to them.

  • Managing Remote and Dispersed Teams

    Remote management is different from traditional management. Working in modern organisational structures which include remote teams in dispersed locations requires higher co-operation, higher trust and greater resilience. Modern technology supplies many ways of connecting people but, simultaneously, generates more opportunities for misunderstanding, confusion and chaos. Organisations must equip modern managers and leaders with the fundamental knowledge, skills and mindsets of effective remote management, and this engaging virtual workshop provides valuable insights into these fundamental areas.

  • Time Management

    Do you often feel that you don’t get as much done during the day you would like? Whether that is at work or at home. Time management - particularly for busy people - is not an innate skill.

  • Understanding Impostor Syndrome

    Impostor Syndrome is the psychological pattern of individuals doubting their accomplishments. Those affected can fail to believe that their success or position has been legitimately achieved as a result of their own skill or hard work, often despite objective evidence to the contrary.

  • Values-Centred Coaching

    What does the current state and rate of change mean for workplace coaching? As a practice and style of leadership it should be well suited, with a need to redefine accountability, encourage innovation and develop real empathy in our relationships. However, some traditional models with their emphasis on ‘goals’ have resulted in coaching conversations having to be re-set time and time again. This session looks at another, more currently relevant model – one that puts values at the heart of the coaching conversation instead of goals.
