Resilient people find potential in almost any challenge. They nurture positivity and see opportunity where others see problems. We can all build our mental resilience through nurturing habits and using techniques to increase positivity. It is about building the strength and the mindset to remain future- and solution-focused in ambiguous and challenging situations.
Design thinking is a human-centered, user focused process for solving problems and was created as a process to help tech innovators remain user-focused in their technological innovations and design. Here you will use the same steps to come up with creative approaches to your business development.
In this workshop, we explore how we think, where we get stuck, and how to see afresh. We learn to use different thinking tools for different occasions and build creative muscle. We also explore some of the psychological attitudes that influence our creative potential and abilities. Ultimately, we gain a fresh perspective on how to improve personal and team creative output bringing real value to team performance.
To grow we need to step outside of our comfort zones. Whether you’re dipping your toe across the line or taking a running jump out of the zone, you’ll be more successful if you’ve built resilience, awareness, confidence and presence.
Often fear can masquerade as false confidence which won’t put you at ease in a new situation, nor will it convince others. But when you build from the inside out, it comes across as authentic, honest and genuinely confident.
Curiosity opens up endless opportunities for us all within all aspects of our lives. Curiosity enables us to develop the invaluable quality of being intrinsically motivated to want to learn, to know, to discover, to postulate new ideas, to discuss different alternatives, to wonder and to explore wisdom in a way that makes anything and everything seem exciting and possible.
Bypassing conflict while getting your message across – With Conscious Business People
Without effective feedback it’s hard for things to change. Yet we resist, anxious of how our message will be received, fearful of possible rifts in relationships or defensiveness and the frustration of not being heard. The secret to giving effective feedback is how we do it.
This 3 hour experiential workshop will teach you a robust technique for giving feedback so you are heard with minimal risk of conflict. You’ll get plenty of opportunity to practice in a safe environment and with plenty of feedback.
The skills you will learn are essential in leadership and management roles but may serve you equally in your professional and personal life.
Bring yourself and maybe a couple of scenarios where you have been struggling to give feedback effectively and we’ll provide the rest. We’re psychotherapists and business culture change specialists so feedback is ingrained in everything we do.
Learning the principles to effective coaching – with Conscious Business People
Coaching others builds their confidence, reduces their dependency on you and helps them solve more of their problems themselves. The guiding principle is that you can’t do their learning for them. However being effective as a coach relies on following a few golden rules.
This 3 hour experiential workshop will give you not only the fundamental principles of coaching, why and when to coach and lots of opportunity to practice your technique.
The skills you will learn are essential in leadership and management roles but may serve you equally in your professional and personal life.
We’re psychotherapists, coaches and business culture change specialists so coaching is ingrained in everything we do.
Mind Maps follow the natural organising procedures of our neural pathways. They integrate ideas, prioritise thoughts and give space for strategic thinking at the complex level. They create links and associations facilitating easy recall, and work as a prime tool for giving presentations and memorising information. Compact in structure, they also allow for efficient collation of research and data and offer an opportunity for complex problem solving.
During the course, we will learn how to do several different types of maps, from concept mapping, to knowledge mapping. We will look at how to map for idea generation, information storage and recall, and for presenting, and explore how mind mapping can help us look afresh at complex problem solving and strategy development.
