If you want to be an effective leader and manager the learning never stops.
Targeted at Managers/Deputies/Team leaders including those that want to further develop their skills in leadership and management. To be effective takes time and practice.
Sessions of this kind have been available for the last year.
Attendees have continued, and new members have joined.
The next block of sessions will run until the end of the year commencing on 30 March 2022.
Sessions will be held for an hour via Zoom once a month (excluding August) cutting out time-consuming travel and enabling staff to be on site at their business premises, should they be needed to deal with an urgent matter. Sessions are scheduled in advance.
The frequency also provides consistency and a chance to form a well-established and trusted small group.
The sessions are targeted at early years professionals, however if you work in a different sector and are interested in the type of content covered (see below), please enquire using the contact form below.
Numbers attending are purposefully kept low to allow full engagement of individuals.
Attendees may also wish to join a managers’ network which has a different focus for support. See: link when available
During 2020 and 2021 face-to-face training was rarely possible due to Covid.
Online training and remote learning became invaluable. However, what these methods often missed was the opportunity to build valuable relationships and a chance to interact with others in similar roles for meaningful discussions on current challenges and to gain more support and guidance for work issues on a personal level.
The Peer Support pilot sessions of Summer 2021 provided just this, and it was the number one benefit stated by those attending. See testimonials below.
The group number is kept low to enable all attendees to contribute, feel valued, share ideas and to seek solutions to problems and issues that they have.
The sessions provide an environment in which managers feel supported by peers that are working in other settings but doing similar work to themselves and at the same time they receive training, advice and tips from an external experienced professional who also facilitates the sessions. This helps to build attendees confidence in a safe environment.
There is an emphasis on building strong and trusting relationships within the group.
To build skills in delegation, team building, problem solving, conflict resolution and assertiveness.
To build on existing strengths and to address personal weaknesses in a creative and positive way.
To build confidence and self-awareness to help create an effective and harmonious workforce and to be the leader and manager that gets the best from their team and an understanding of how this can be achieved and why it is important.
£175 covering period from 30/03/22 to end of year – includes training, peer and external professional support, useful reads and exercises to support personal development.
