Workshop 1:
Consultancy skills - how HR partners with line managers to achieve business objectives and priorities
Delivered by Phil Allen, PA Consulting Group. PA Consulting Group has been involved for over 20 years in redesigning and implementing new health services, working with central government to deliver effective new policies and with providers and commissioners to improve front-line delivery of services.www.paconsulting.com
This workshop will support people in developing their consultancy skills and applying a structured and consistent consulting approach.
In this short seminar session we will introduce participants to our model which will provide a way for participants to think about and structure any task, project or assignment. The model is simple and adaptable enough that once learnt and understood, it can be applied to simple tasks, small projects, or large-scale assignments, as an individual or to lead a team.
We will present the model in an interactive learning style and provide a range of tools and take-aways that will enable participants to be able to go back to their offices and put their learning into practice straight away.
This workshop will support people in developing their consultancy skills and applying a structured and consistent consulting approach.
Workshop 2: Developing resilience and mental toughness
Delivered by Judith Krichefski, Performance Coach and Mental Toughness Specialist www.mentaltoughnessjhk.com
This workshop will focus on developing mental toughness, to remain focused and resilient, in the face of demanding challenges, stresses and pressures. Mentally tough individuals have the ability to meet challenging objectives, multi-task, take control, accept responsibility, respond positively to change and stay motivated to achieve, no matter what the setbacks and interruptions.
Mental toughness enables individuals to remain focused and resilient, even in the face of the most demanding challenges, stresses and pressures. It is a key element of optimal performance in the workplace.
An organisation that manages and fosters mental toughness in its people has a clearer strategy and sense of direction, greater productivity, more effective delivery, higher levels of innovation, combined with higher rates of retention, motivation and organisational cohesion.
Workshop 3: Become more politically astute
Delivered by Julia Tybura, Managing Director of Zenon Consulting, a leading organisational transformation and HR consultancy, www.zenonconsulting.com
This workshop will further participants’ political astuteness, to understand the diverse interest groups, power bases and politics internally and externally and to develop the ability to balance competing agendas and needs of stakeholders.
Cost: £50 for the whole day or £25 for one workshop (these fees help the Academy cover the costs of running the day)
