GROWING WITH FEEDBACK
While employees are frequently trained in how to give feedback to others they are rarely trained in how to receive feedback themselves so that the interaction can frequently result in poorly prepared and received responses. Consistent with the aims of a flexible and learning organisational culture, this programThe aim of this program is to provide participants with understanding as to the personal and professional benefits of receiving feedback and to enhance their skills to positively respond to it. In this program participants learn to grow from feedback, prepare for challenging feedback and are provided with frameworks for both constructively receiving feedback and for eliciting feedback from others.
CONFRONTING COMMUNICATION
We can be exposed to workplace environments with people, actions or behaviours that we may disagree with and situations where we need to be able to carefully control our own responses in order to positively influence others. As physical aggression can be predicted it can also be avoided by learning to detect the cues and maintain personal safety. This tailored training program will develop and enhance the participant's capacity to manage their own emotions, to maintain clear thought processes and sublimate stress so as to keep them thinking with the pre-frontal cortex and their ability to safely respond to confronting behaviours in their workplace. The full day program will provide participants with the tools, techniques and a process for understanding and managing confronting behaviour through the key steps of Self Awareness, self Control and Awareness of Others.
LEADING POSITIVE CULTURE
Leaders are effectively the custodians of workplace culture and need to be able to promote and model the positive behaviours consistent with high performing workplaces and the preferred business practices. This tailored training program will provide an update of current workplace standards, identify your role in creating a positive and safe workplace culture, share the risks and challenges in your workplace and explore inclusive leadership. The one day program provides participants with tools that assist them to identify and develop their professional and organisational values.
CONFLICT RESOLUTION SKILLS
We recognise that when handled in a respectful way conflict provides an opportunity for growth at the personal and organisational level. When people effectively manage interpersonal conflict, they are clear about the other person's perspective on the situation and their needs. They think before they act and make considered choices. This training program enhances participants key conflict resolution skills including effective elicitation, applying a process to manage multiple parties in a dispute situation and negotiating and facilitating a solution. In doing so provides participants with mediation skill development to effectively manage conflict safely and respectfully.
