Building trust and accountability for teams (or leaders)
Giving and receiving feedback well (it's not personal)
Emotional intelligence and why it helps everyone perform better
Any of the above could be paired or grouped to cover all the issues or challenges that have been identified by those seeking support. See how the process works below for more specifics.
Leadership and workplace development workshops
Helping people work better together creates huge opportunities for success! Strong (doesn't mean loud), emotionally intelligent leaders create strong, effective and highly regarded teams.
There may be a strong team with a new leader who needs support, and to learn how to get the best from each other or vice versa.
Why book a leadership and workplace development workshop?
External support can sometimes help in challenging situations.
- Team dynamics can feel overwhelming, especially for new leaders or new to team leads
- Managing 'difficult' people - or - being managed by a 'difficult' boss - can be exhausting
- We all look good and our teams feel awesome when performance improves!
What your workshop or training attendees will walk away with
Outcomes will depend on the challenges to be resolved and specific workshop attended, but as an overview:
- Challenge specific strategies and tools to help them perform or exceed role expectations
- Accountability - once the team has set goals, everyone is aware of each other's commitments as a team!
- Having a personal PLAN which includes at least one action to be taken at the end of each workshop
- The confidence to communicate assertively, politely and respectfully (and manage problematic workflow or situations better)
- New skills in prioritisation, time management and decision making with confidence
- Having the necessary 'difficult conversations' to ensure performance improves, including giving and receiving feedback
- An engaging interactive experience which didn't feel like 'hard work'
*Scheduling a quarterly or annual follow up workshop or session to check in on progress is advised.
Team communication and confidence workshops
Teams who communicate well achieve or exceed expectations more often.
Teams who are able to communicate confidently, set boundaries (often learning to say no where necessary) and organise themselves and their time well are set up for success.
Why book a communication and confidence workshop?
- If internal attempts to improve performance have not succeeded, underperforming teams (or specific team members) may benefit from external coaching or training on specific challenges to improve both morale and performance
- A downward spiral in performance and morale will eventually be seen as the manager or leader's problem to solve
- Good people only stay in poorly managed teams for so long - eventually they leave
How the workshop process works
1
Step 1
Preparation and proposal
A workshop or training session could (and should) be customised in consultation with the workplace and current leadership team to address a specific need or challenges.
Will require a briefing meeting, client input and agreement of content, and submission of a proposal. Once the proposal and professional fees are agreed, signing off of the content, logistics (in person or online, location etc) take place.
Step 2
Content generation and refinement
Vicky will pull together the required content based on the above, (which may require in person or online meetings with key stakeholders) and schedule a content sign off meeting with the project owner in advance of the workshop.
Preparation will include a detailed, pre-agreed, timed agenda (with flexibility to stay if more time is required or move on as required), and slides if required.

Step 3
Delivery of workshop (and workshop report if required)
Vicky will facilitate the session. Including delivery of content, time keeping, making notes or recording the session if a report is required, managing the energy and engagement of participants and ensuring appropriate breaks are made for meals or comfort.
Clients generally supply white board paper, pens, post-its, and printing of materials though these can be supplied at cost. Travel expenses and accommodation will be charged separately.
