Strong communication skills are the single most important factor when it comes to getting what you want, whether at work or in your personal life. That’s why this is one of our leading courses, providing exceptional learning opportunities that will change the way you choose to communicate with others in all aspects of your life. Think about when you write a message or email. You have the chance to edit what you have written to ensure you present yourself with the highest credibility. We don’t get the same opportunity when speaking, and it is therefore vital that we learn skills that allow us to verbalise our thoughts and ideas with the same impact. With a recent study showing a reduction in individuals attention spans, it is essential that clear and concise communication is consistently delivered. Whether speaking to one person or to a group, equip yourself with the skills to engage your audience and inspire them to take action. This course will enable you to speak with confidence and conviction and increase your influence with those around you.
Have you ever thought “why don’t people take me as seriously as they take my colleague?” It isn’t because they are more intelligent. It’s more likely because they have understood the art of position, influence and gaining respect. Your executive presence immediately impacts the relationships that you can leverage, and the impact that you can have on business decisions. Merely being the subject matter expert is therefore no longer sufficient. For your statements to have genuine bottom line visibility you need to be able to make the right impact, build rapport and have presence so that your input becomes a strategic consideration for your team. By building an awareness of your executive presence, an understanding of others, and learning some key tools and techniques, this course will enable you to increase your executive presence and rapport with those around you.
As the famous saying goes “Nothing is new. Everything is recycled”. This doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t aim to innovate, create, and inspire change, but that we can look to those who have already paved impressive paths before us. We can take inspiration and learn the clues that their success leaves behind. As a part of our Leaders In The Field module, we will explore the journey of successful individuals in the finance industry and other sectors, who have made an impact in the professional world. The module will look specifically at the achievements and success in their professional path, as well as the strategies they used to overcome challenges, empowering themselves and others around them. It is important to be encouraged and inspired by these people and their qualities. However, in this module we will also observe the importance of pacing our own development, playing to our strengths and using setbacks as a stepping stone to success.
A lot of people associate power, influence, money and often, masculinity. We think to be successful we need to ‘look’ a certain way and adapt our behaviour to those who have gone before. However, we don’t often stop to think of what their version of success actually feels like. To be truly successful, you have to be authentic. This means to harness who we truly are and use the balance of energies within us. Masculine traits of strength, courage and assertiveness are the ones we are more familiar with in the workplace and ones we typically associate with men. However, both females and males have this masculine energy within them. It is the feminine traits of humility, cooperativeness and even vulnerability which we seldom see in the business world. These qualities can be just as powerful to work as a team, reach targets and gain respect as a leader.
In a world of conflicting demands, social media pressure and constant advertisements, we place a strong importance on commercial success. We are constantly compared to others and a huge challenge that many people face is finding their authentic selves and staying true to their values and needs whilst navigating their career goals and aspirations. We all have our own unique gifts and strengths that we can offer to the world. The problem is that often many of us haven’t been able to uncover what it is that we are truly passionate about – what is it that lights our fire and is unique to us. In this module, we will get to know ourselves better using teachings from psychology to mindfulness, as we chart out our lives and search for purpose in an increasingly demanding world.
Most health experts preach that stress is dangerous. Stress and anxiety are not only mentally challenging, but if left un-checked, can cause serious physical illness as well. By understanding stress triggers and learning to manage your time efficiently and effectively, you can lessen the pressures often experienced by senior leaders who have endless to-do lists and often over-whelming responsibility. In reality, stress is not a bad thing if we understand it and work with it properly. In fact, three decades of research suggests that the best way to manage stress is not to fight it, but to embrace it, and in so doing, we can make smarter, more confident and empathetic decisions. Learn practical and invaluable time management methods that will help when making everyday choices, and in turn, reduce unhealthy stress.
The key to great negotiation is great collaboration. The common misconception is that to negotiate effectively, you must ‘make your case’ or be the loudest voice in the room, forcing the other side to agree with your argument. However, this is not effective as it discourages important teamwork and a chance to deepen your understanding of each other. Negotiation is about several people faced with different aspects of the same problem. The adversary is the situation itself, rather than opposing opinions. If you work with people, rather than against them, you can solve the problem together and you are both better off.
The key to negotiation is always using deference. This is not weakness. In fact, it is quite the opposite. Deference gives the opportunity for other voices to be heard, to gain understanding of how people think and showing them respect. By doing this, in turn, people will want to listen to you and what you have to offer. If everyone feels involved in the process, you are more likely to come to a decision that is for the benefit of everyone, rather than the select few.
As an individual, holding your power in a space can be especially tricky. The balance between being firm in your approach and being fair and understanding can be a tricky one to get right. In this module we will show you powerful tools and techniques for using your voice effectively and how your opinions and ideas can be taken seriously. We can use our voice to portray genuine curiosity and deference. We can use our voice to show passion and enthusiasm. It all comes down to tone and the way your message is carried.
65% of employees express that they want more feedback from their employers, but how often have you received feedback that left you confused or demotivated? Presenting specific and valuable feedback to employees is essential. It must be purposeful and constructive to help them feel valued, whilst also inspiring growth. Ensure your team feel heard and boost their accountability by engaging in positive dialogue, rather than a monologue. We teach powerful coaching techniques that allow your team to manifest their true potential and feel empowered to excel with confidence in the workplace.

The best leaders are those who are aware of their own strengths and weaknesses, and are not afraid to show them. This module will focus on the importance of embodying these strengths, whilst simultaneously knowing when to ask for support from your team in your areas of weakness. With this understanding, you can learn to communicate deeper with your team and work together productively. In this module you will discover the art of delegating effectively, inspiring them to take on responsibility and ownership and empowering success within them. It is also now an essential skill to be able to manage remotely. We will explore the best tools and tactics to ensure maximum team efficiency and motivation, even in the remote environment.
An extensive Gallup study drawing on data from 25 million employees found that people don’t leave jobs, they leave managers. So many organizations lose good people to poor managers, causing higher turnover rates, higher training costs, and an un-engaged workforce. Learn to transition from “manager” to “leader” by going to the root of how to lead a team powerfully and elicit maximum engagement and accountability. Most managers see results as the root measurement of success, however this approach is short sighted, as results are the symptom of a functional team where trust is actually the founding principle. If we used trust as our measurement for how well our team was doing, we would see better results as a natural by-product.
In a world where qualifications and university degrees are becoming less and less relevant, what is it that companies are truly looking for in their existing staff or when they are hiring? That X-factor that employers value most ultimately boils down to Emotional Intelligence. Our IQ is of course important, but why is it we often see people with high IQ still struggling in life, while less intelligent people prosper? The answer resides with EQ. This is the ability to perceive and understand our own feelings and the feelings of those around us, and then know how to act to best create a positive outcome in that situation. A high EQ allows you to build strong relationships, reduce team stress, defuse conflicts for yourself and others, and improve the overall emotional experience for yourself and for those you interact with. Join us as we dive into understanding what may be currently affecting our EQ and how we can strengthen it to ultimately find success in all our endeavors.
Leaders’ ability to listen determines their success or failure and the fate of their organization. Leaders can respond more effectively, even amid turmoil, by applying this approach within their organizations and in communication with their stakeholders. They can increase their ability to meet their company’s needs, support their employees and boost their competitiveness by learning to listen powerfully. Being the life of the party won’t always help you with a client. In fact, letting other people take the spotlight will actually garner more admiration and eventual “buy-in”. Be more interested than interesting, is one of the listening principles this course will go through in evaluating a persons listening performance.
