1. Helping your team thrive in times of uncertainty
The current situation is creating enormous challenges to the way we manage and support our teams to keep them working effectively together and being productive. Many of us have been thrust into the position of leading virtual teams for the first time, so not only is it challenging to manage ourselves, it’s also daunting to have to adapt our style to a new context. This webinar explores tips to managing teams remotely, staying connected and supporting the emotional well-being of your team.
2. Leading in times of uncertainty
The current crisis situation is a key leadership moment for managers/leaders to help others and to do the right thing. It is an opportunity for us to rise to the occasion and for it to be our ‘finest hour’ as a manager/leader. This webinar explores the leadership qualities and behaviours we need to demonstrate that have become more of a key focus in these challenging times.
3. Keeping strong — build your resilience
As the lockdowns continued we were not only all experiencing the far-reaching impact of the current pandemic but also the emotions this generated. Negative emotions such as fatigue, fear, anxiety, panic put extreme pressure on us and undermine our ability to focus on the right priorities, think clearly, manage our relationships effectively and make informed choices. This webinar will explore how we can take better care of ourselves and build more resilience.
4. Virtual Meetings — 10 Tips for lockdown webinars
Virtual meetings are currently the only option for many of us to stay in touch with our colleagues and clients. This webinar shares some tips for embracing the differences of a virtual to a face-to-face meeting and making the most of a format you might not be comfortable with — yet!
5. Take control in volatile times!
Explore the concept of how to develop others or yourself to take control of your life, keep optimistic, feel confident and have a plan to move forward! Ideal for a leader, mentor or coach, or someone supporting their own well-being. During this webinar, Lis Merrick will explore a process and techniques to develop your plan to feel in control or help others to regain their own confidence in their life plans, so we continue to thrive during these very turbulent times.
6. Developing innovation in your employees and teams to thrive in hard times
The global pandemic called for a new way of operating, the development of a Growth Mindset and greater adaptive capacity to both the world of work and home life. This webinar, developed by Lis Merrick will look at the concepts of a Growth Mindset and adaptive capacity and provide pragmatic techniques to use to support the increase of both as well as considering how to become more innovative and creative in your approach to life generally.
7. Supporting your teams through transition
This webinar will explore understanding and supporting change in individuals’ behaviours and approaches to work caused by the current lockdown situation. Delivered by Lis Merrick, it will include models and techniques to understand the transitions that everyone will go through and practical interventions for managers to use both themselves and to support their teams.
8. Transition mentoring: the way forward!
A mentor who understands how to support through the critical phases of transition, who can encourage adaptive capacity and encourage their mentee to thrive at this time of global lockdown is immensely powerful. This webinar explores the different phases of transition and techniques the mentor can use at different stages of the mentee’s journey over the next few months. The mentors themselves will benefit so much from these dialogues also. Many of the conversations will uncover similar challenges and dilemmas in the mentor’s own life, enabling them to gain from this shared reflective space and learn with their mentees. Introducing mentors to techniques to support their mentees and develop in a Covid-19 environment will also boost their own repertoire of resilience building skills.
9. Mentoring — Talent Development during lockdown
Mentoring is one of the most powerful learning and change interventions to develop and retain talent.
This webinar will explore how to deliver a truly great mentoring experience for both the mentee and the mentor to generate successful outcomes such as talent development, personal growth, employee engagement and retention and leadership development. It will include:
Mentoring approaches to facilitate talent development
How to develop successful mentoring dialogues during lockdown
The roles of the mentor and the mentee in talent development
Benefits of mentoring for both the mentor and mentee
10. Why encouraging reflective practice in your people is more important than ever
In times of crisis its all too easy to neglect the need for self reflection, missing great opportunities for organisational learning and personal development. This short webinar, delivered by Auriel Majumdar will introduce some straightforward and accessible models for self-reflection and address the very real challenges first seen during the Covid-19 pandemic. The webinar will explore the business benefits of becoming reflective practitioners and help participants develop practical strategies for themselves and their teams.
11. Focusing on the here and now — an Introduction to Gestalt Coaching
We are all facing an uncertain future and this can give rise to feelings of anxiety and concern.
Gestalt coaching with its focus on the ‘here and now’ and awareness-raising is one way to support people to gain perspective and reclaim a sense of control over the events around them. Gestalt coach Auriel Majumdar will lead this short webinar setting out the principles of Gestalt coaching and facilitate an exploration of how these can be applied practically in responding to the current challenges.
We can also support the development of your coaches and mentors to use mindfulness in their practice.
12. Straight Talking in Complex Times
Meaningful and direct communication is essential in difficult circumstances when time is of the essence but it can often be difficult to say what you want to and get your voice heard. This practically focused webinar will introduce some tried and tested models from organisational psychology to help you explore and overcome the barriers to straight talking in organisations.
13. Virtual yoga classes during lockdown
Tailored yoga classes for your organisation at times to suit your employees. Lunchtime or early morning sessions, or perhaps everyone could have an extended coffee break for some breathing exercises?
