Accelerate – Navigating People Challenges

Do you have days when the challenges of managing people take up so much time and often seem unresolved?

This course is designed to support you with the wide range of challenges faced when leading others. Whether you have been managing people for many years, or at the start of your journey, we will explore the challenges you face in a safe and supportive environment, sharing different tools and approaches.

Together we will discover how to find balance in the workplace when offering the support that all employees should expect when they come to work, whilst still holding people to account for the role they are employed to do.

Build confidence in dealing with a wide range of challenges, from anxiety to equality, health issues to disruptive behaviour; every situation with any individual is unique. We will share a simple model that gives you the foundation to approach any challenge you face, including any scenarios you wish to bring to the course, developing knowledge and skills together.

Many employers recognise and value ongoing professional development (often referred to as “continuing professional development”), so remember to add 7 hours for attending this course to your log.

This course is recommended for managers at any level who are responsible for leading people and want to build self-awareness, emotional intelligence, relationship success and authenticity
