Building Conversational Confidence: We all have a natural need to be heard – to have our say and have our ideas and feelings listened-to, acknowledged and understood. While we want to have a say in conversations, not all of us plunge fearlessly into them. That's where this clinic comes in... Our theme here is “SPEAK-UP”. It’s about helping you overcome conversational reluctance; lessening your anxiety; saying what you have to say; and putting your views forward in ways that will be heard. It also aims to help you stay engaged in, and follow, a conversation; listen to hear what others have to say, and connect with them. Find out more >>>    

Mindful Leadership in Action – A brain-training clinic for finding focus, attention, clarity and presence: A new generation across the globe is moving to integrate mindfulness training into their leadership lives and practice, not just to improve personal productivity and performance, but to learn how to be more focused, connected, present, less-pressured and more stress-free.  Find out more >>>    

Positive Performance Conversations: Dealing with poor performance, as most leaders will tell you, is one of the most commonly avoided and widely feared species of difficult discussions. It’s not identifying performance issues that’s the obstacle. It’s raising defensiveness - giving difficult feedback to people whose reactions are emotionally volatile and the conversational course you chart, unpredictable. A special extension to our popular Difficult Discussions clinic, this 1-day practical program provides a staged approach and carefully-crafted conversational formulas to help you become more comfortable and competent to deliver difficult feedback and deal with low performers.

Leading Culture Change: “We need to change the culture” is a much-repeated mantra heard in many management meetings, yet culture is notoriously difficult to change. While there are no magic bullets or quick-fixes, if you can understand a culture, and learn some lessons about what seems to work and what doesn’t, then you have a chance of changing it for the better.  Now offered in both 2-day and 1-day 'fast-track' formats depending on location.  Find out more >>>

Putting Patients First: A special program for Healthcare professionals... This targeted 1-day clinic for people in healthcare centres on 5 essential Principles for taking a Patient Focus approach to health-care and a collection of emotional awareness and conversation tools to help cultivate caring, connecting and compassion.  It's not about clinical or procedural aspects of patient-centred care but the important relational aspects -- treating patients as people rather than bundles of complaints, problems or procedures. We all have different ideas about what patient-centred care is and how to do it. Putting Patients First aims to get people on the same page – to know what it means, what it looks like and most of all, how to act it. It's for anyone in health-care -- clinical, admin or operational... leaders, supervisors and staff. Find out more >>>
