Strategic Thinking Skills Next Generation Leadership – Trust & Engagement Based on the latest thinking and research on strategy, this course uses real examples and an immersive case study to bring strategic concepts to life, whilst providing an opportunity to apply tools and techniques learnt to a real industry. The course is in three parts. This course seeks to provide the tools to enable a person to effectively analyse a company’s position in the view to taking effective strategic decisions that will determine the future direction of the company. First, leaders attend a 1 day introductory workshop where they will identify the 6 key drivers of engagement and review their own personalised feedback. 6 weeks later there is a 2-day workshop where they are introduced to the power of CHOICE as a mental model, guiding them to identify and make any needed adjustments to their leadership style and behaviours. Six weeks later, a 1-day workshop reviews progress in implementing the CHOICE model. Managing People Effectively Running Effective Meetings A comprehensive ThirdBrain™ course covering the key aspects of people management. Meetings have become part of our everyday working lives but there are good and bad meetings. Bad meetings drag on incessantly, you never seem to get to the point, and you leave wondering why you were even there. Do some people seem to be natural managers and get on with everyone? We explore this and other questions in this course where you will take an active part in management simulations which recreate the key aspects of managing a department or team. These learning-by-doing activities are supported with theory input and guidance from a ThirdBrain™ facilitator to really understand what is going on. Effective meetings leave everyone involved feeling that you’ve really accomplished something and everyone leaves energised. This course will teach you the differences between the two, how to run good meetings and what to do if you find yourself in a bad one! 29
