– Discover The Keys To Unlock Your Potential To Lead
Stepping up & into that first leadership position is one of the critical stages on a Leader’s development path. It’s a significant personal challenge as the pressure is on from day one; results are required, and task delivery dominates.
We quickly realise that success stems from alignment; ensuring that team actions work toward organisational goals. However, team members don’t always see life in the same way, do they? Sometimes we might experience resistance, and when this happens, our potential to lead is seriously impaired, isn’t it?
Thus, our ability to “Influence” Others is one aspect that elevates us as Remarkable Leaders above our peers. Rather than deploy an authoritarian approach, influence helps us gently nudge people in the right direction, in the right ways.
Though that influence is experienced by “Others”, it begins from within our “Self”. To develop it, we first need to understand what tools we possess; we need to build greater self-awareness of our personal qualities. Next, it requires us to become more assertive, so that we feel comfortable when sharing our ideas across the team.
Beyond that, influence strengthens with a little charisma, as charm helps us engage our personality in more persuasive ways. And delivery with a little style, adds that final sheen & polish to our leadership capabilities; we need to develop ability to understand situations, and, select appropriate styles.
This Workshop therefore takes an emotionally intelligent approach to personal leadership. Our focus builds self-awareness across the personal qualities & behaviours that are relevant to us as Remarkable Leaders. It further develops those interpersonal qualities we require to enhance our assertive powers, boost our charisma, and operate with style.

His approach to learning is reflected in his facilitation during delivery; it focuses on building & strengthening an individual’s “soft skills”. This leads to Training that’s designed to scaffold on top of three firm foundations.
First, learning needs to be fun for it to stick; enjoyment & engagement are precursors to absorption & adoption. Next, it has to be sufficiently real to be relevant; it needs collaboration, openness, creativity, and, a little intensity. Finally, it must match Participant expectations to be valuable; it has to substantially deliver what it states “on the tin”.
