Stepping into Management is a two-day workshop that provides new and aspiring managers with an understanding of what managing people is all about and the practical tools they need to feel more confident doing it.
The workshop focuses on three particular areas. The first is understanding the roles and responsibilities of a manager. The second is the skills required by a manager (what you need to do). The third is the behaviour required of a manager (who you need to be).
Participants will be introduced to a range of tools and techniques which can be applied post-session in their roles. A coaching approach to leadership development empowers participants to take responsibility for their own learning and builds their confidence in their abilities.
