New Leadership - and it's not all new!

New Leadership means staying true to your own values and the values and vision of your organisation. It means directing your existing strengths and building on them by exploring your personal potential and further resources. Expanding your repertoire. Developing your attitudes.

New Leadership means anticipating, reacting to and driving change. In order to drive your business.

Today's leaders lead increasingly diverse teams in increasingly diverse settings. They need to foster not just team spirit but team commitment.  

And to do this they need to lead with courage and trust. And to inspire courage and trust.

Communication & Conflict - inspire and empower

Communication is at the heart of every personal and business interaction.

Leaders, team members and organisations all need to communicate clearly and professionally. So that we can build positive relationships, establish trust and enhance motivation.

It is every leader's responsibility to anticipate, recognise and address conflicts. 

Positive communication allows us to do so with understanding and purpose.

Presenting & Impacting - harnessing self-efficacy

Self-marketing is not a dirty word. Everybody needs the courage and skill-set to give the right message to the right people in the right way.

And it's never just about the topic. Presentations, sales pitches, team talks, interviews and press conferences - they all put the speaker in the spotlight.

Facilitating or moderating meetings, workshops or training sessions requires the ability to recognise, address and steer group dynamics. And to distinguish between process and content.

• identify and promote the value you add to your organisation and beyond

• identify your circle of influence and whom you need to expand it
• use meta-level techniques to steer group dynamics
• acquire tools and methods to increase your impact in teams and meetings and get your ideas heard
• define your personal goals and develop a plan to achieve them
