Assertiveness is a commonly used term but what does it actually mean to be assertive? What prevents us from being the confident, assertive manager we sometimes need to be? We all have challenging conversations from time to time, having a clear strategy with tried and tested tools and techniques can really make the job easier.

Our next 'The assertive manager' workshop will be announced soon, with the website being updated in due course. Click the link below to find out more.

Talking to the camera is a learned skill. How can you make an impact via the lens and what are typical errors? Where should you look? What language should you use? What are the differences between presenting online or to an in-person audience? This workshop will teach you how to speak to camera with a natural delivery in online webinars or when communicating on video.

The next running of this workshop will be announced soon. Please click the link below to find out more.

In the modern organisation, where hierarchies are steadily blurring or disappearing altogether, it is an almost daily occurrence that you need someone to do something for you over whom you have no formal authority: they most likely work for a different boss, in a different team, in a different part of the business; they are time poor and overwhelmed with their own priorities. Why should they take notice of you?

Secrets of successful influencing will show you how you can influence without taking authority, by taking more care in planning the conversation and bringing more flexibility to the way you conduct it.

The next 'Secrets to successful influencing' introductory workshop will be on announced soon. Please click the link below to find out more.

Billions of pounds go to waste every year because too many people are dispirited at work. Most do a reasonably good job. But their hearts are not in it.

This has a cumulative effect. Output, quality, service, safety, health, relationships, staff turnover, and many other things suffer, creating a problem for business and sad for employees.

If you want to make yours a culture of energy, pride, collaboration, and success, Join Corina Breban and David Barnard on Alive@Work. You will have the opportunity to discuss the research on which it is based, to hear about the way the programme quickly enhances work, and to experience some of the content yourself.

Our next 'Alive@work' introductory workshop will be announced soon. Please click the link below to find out more.

Perhaps you are really fit. You can run 5 or 10k comfortably. Then a friend invites you to go rock climbing, and every muscle burns for days.

Promotion to team leader can be a bit like that. You are an expert at the top of your game, so your boss gladly asks you to step up. Then mental and emotional muscles start to burn.

This interactive workshop will take you through the four mental muscles that can be developed before taking a leadership role, whilst implementing practical exercises. 

Our next  'Think like a leader' webinar will be announced soon, Please click the link below for more information and to book places 

The so-called 'soft' skills actually feel really hard - hard to get right. And in application they are anything but soft - they are the key to getting performance out of team members, by making them feel significant, understood, and clear about what you want from them why it's in their interest to focus on that.

Dealing with people virtually makes skills feel more challenging - but there are some simple things you can do to make them just as effective as they would be face to face.

The workshop will offer a balance of theory and practice, giving you some easy to apply models and then the space to apply them supported by a coaching pair or small group.

The next 'Essential people skills for team leaders' webinar will be on the announced soon. Please click the link below to find out more.
