Remote Learning and Online Courses

We can offer a full online service where learning can take place remotely or via a blended approach where we can use a mix of remote and face-to-face delivery. We use a series of resources such as video conferencing, webinars, videos, podcasts, and access for learners to our online development academy. It should also be stressed that we still keep to our philosophy of interactive experiential learning – learning by doing even when done remotely!

Duration

The duration varies depending on your needs and budget. These can be one-hour bite-size sessions as a standalone or used as a foundation to full-day or multi-day programmes. These can be accredited or non-accredited.

Leadership & Management

Most Popular

  • Virtual / Remote leadership – Virtual leadership training to improve your remote leadership skills, knowledge and behaviours. This would test even the most experienced leader and this session could deal with how to interface with staff who they think they know well but who have almost become a stranger as they deal with their own fears and insecurities. The key is to consider the personal impact of the situation and any direction they may offer to their team;
  • Leading Remote Teams/ Manging People Remotely –  How to create a high-performance culture in a virtual world. The old normal has gone, what is the new normal or even the abnormal in terms of building a culture in a virtual environment. How do you maintain and develop high-performing teams with a hybrid working model when not everyone is in the office at the same time or at all

Others

  • Personal Resilience.  Without the support of the group within the workplace, some people will have no one to reassure/ motivate/ understand situations. There may be pressure to be strong & to just get on with it from well-meaning but uninformed social contacts. Also in the close confines of the current situation, there may be social difficulties when this closeness is new or never before experienced;
  • Crisis Leadership. An extension of the conflict and stress sessions covered in the training programme. The trick here is to identify if the crisis is social or work-based and then to analyse and synthesise the situation with an end product of an action plan;
  • Comms from a distance. The training programme constantly stressed the importance of professional, competent communication. Know your people was the golden thread. Until things return to normal we have a new golden thread….All the rules are out of the window!  Everything they thought they knew about their teams and co-workers has to be put aside until it can be verified in the context of today’s world;
  • Time and Space Management. For many people being home and juggling all of the social demands alongside ‘working’ is difficult. It is vital that people understand that their working day is will run alongside and around their life. They should also( if possible) create a working space in which they can complete tasks with a minimum of distractions;
  • Guilt management. People will feel guilty, especially as time goes on because they are being paid and do not feel they are as productive or busy as they normally are. Managers should point out that they may not be as busy but they are as essential as they always have been;
  • Flexible Working.  The working day no longer has any time constraints. If someone gets up to feed a child at 05.00 and then does an hour or two of work, that is fine. They should be taking regular breaks at irregular hours.
  • The Transition From Home to Work. We now are starting to approach a new phase in the business mindset given the loosening of lockdown restrictions. People are starting to move from the crisis management mindset to recovery planning and returning to work. This brings its own challenges not least trying to address the anxieties of your staff.
  • Having Difficult Conversations. As many businesses are facing difficult trading conditions this might be the first time management have had to have difficult conversations with their team. What’s the best approach, what anxieties are there? This session helps address these issues.
