Module 1 – Managing Difficult Conversations

Calling them difficult conversations is part of the problem, they are not difficult, they are accurate . We don’t normally speak that way, so it feels awkward  anxious and we would rather avoid it. There is a way to have these conversations and get over the ‘ick’ and carry on leading.

By the end of this module …

  • You will understand the keys to having a successful difficult conversation, including the level of clarity needed before you start and how to secure it
  • I walk you through a complete conversation – start to finish. You will have a framework that works in multiple situations. It doesn’t matter what the issue is, this framework works every time

I show you exactly what to do when ..

  • the colleague discloses something that is tricky or significant
  • the colleague breaks down in tears or gets angry and kicks off
  • when they try to deflect and steer you down a rabbit hole

Your confidence will build and be secure as I come alongside you and give the support you cannot ‘google’- this is what you need to master a part of leadership that has you up at night or keeps you in a place of dread, but you can’t tell anyone.

Module 2 – Managing Up

Assumptions are the nemesis of a leader

  • What assumptions do you have about your boss that influence your behaviour?
  • What do you do ‘proactively’ that is useful in promoting a good working relationship between you?
  • If I said that ‘managing up’ does not exist. You are not really managing people- then what is it that you are actually managing?
  • It might be true, but you thinking that your boss is a muppet is a mindset that hinders you . Shifting your assessment (no matter how accurate you are) is an empowering mind shift for you – I want you to win!

I walk you through ..

  • What it is you are truly managing in the relationship between you and the boss – how to do this better
  • How to manage your circle of concern, influence and control
  • I give you 5 concrete strategies to manage the relationship with your boss better

If your boss is truly the devil or is the most toxic person on the planet- then you should get another job. If they are not, but you do need to forge a better working relationship, then this module will give you the tools to do just that.

Module 3 – Managing Change

I bet it’s not the actual change that bothers you, are you asking these questions in your heart

  • How do get colleagues to come on board with this?  (Betty  who has been here since 1904 and Ian who holds influence in the staffroom, are bound to stir up a frenzy and make this difficult)
  •  The change may not be popular, (in fact some colleagues will find this very difficult) how do I navigate this?
  • My motive for change is pure, but I bet I come off looking like an evil villain anyway
  • What if this goes wrong?

There are plenty of answers on google if you type in ‘change management’, but this module is not that!

I walk you through the process of thinking, talking, planning and then the doing of change within your team or organisation. This is the practicality of managing both the process and the emotions that come to the surface when leading change. Most leaders get the process right,  but mess up the people management. Emotions run high and once again you end up not sleeping because you need a way to fix the broken morale and relationships that have arisen.

In this module..

  • What does effective change look and feel like when led well
  • The practical steps of how to handle the conversations, emotions and queries that will arise
  • I show you the power of  MIC , unfreezing, change and movement, refreezing

Then we tackle the tricky stuff.. 

I walk you through the conversations to handle the 4 types of behaviour you are going to encounter

  • The active resistors (they are open in their resistance to the change and will recruit others to their crusade)
  • The passive – aggressive resistors (they are covert in their operations, smiling to your face but are plotting how to subvert the initiative, these are the most dangerous colleagues)
  • The cautious colleagues (they are not sure, there is a way to handle these colleagues so they remain on side)
  • The enthusiastic colleagues (these are the ones we want!)

Once you know all this.. you will be good to go!

 Module 4 – Creating Psychological Safety

You are the leader of the matrix of relationships, this is one of your primary function as a leader. The more senior you are, the more you need to master this. If you see your leadership like that, you will find creating psychological safety a natural leadership trait.

In this module you will learn …

  • What psychological safety is and is not, and how to take colleagues through this conversation ( it is not a license to say anything you want, nor is it a space free of any inner discomfort)
  • The 4 stages of psychological safety and what this looks like for your colleagues and for your leadership. I take you through the understanding that there are staff who belong to your organisation but don’t feel as though they matter. Your strategy to change this is vital
  • The 4 practical steps of how you create psychological safety for your teams.

Google this topic and you will get reams of gobbledegook or strategies that sound great but change nothing.

Walk with me as I take you through understanding and practical strategies that work with the real people you are leading today.

Module 5 – Managing Teams

Managing teams doesn’t have to be complex, but it does require you to know what you are doing, why you are doing it and how to do it better! This is one of those times where is a right and wrong way to do it- let me show you step by the step the right way.

In this module you will learn…

  • The stages of growth your colleagues will go through as you lead them- you cannot circumvent it, they will be all be at different stages, you need to know this
  • Understanding the pitfalls of addition (adding another person, another step, another check, or another process). It feels right to add, but you need to consider how this is sometimes the result of lazy, unfocused or fearful thinking.
  • I share with you the SWOTs that open up what your team members think about themselves and how to use this to plan training and development
  • I  give you an additional framework (building on the difficult conversations module)  to deal with difficult team members.

Whether you are new to leading your team or you have been together for years, this module will give you fresh insight and strategy to leading your team better and securing a confident stance for yourself.

Module 6 – Well Being at Work

This module has nothing to do with organising Yoga  or football after work as part of the staff well being programme! I walk you through what true well- being is and how to encourage it in your own life and then in the workplace.

I show you the difference between work- life balance (which does not exist) and work – life health (which does)

I walk you through a method of talking to your staff about ‘psychological safety’ ( just because your feelings are valid, this doesn’t mean your behaviour is, we need to stop weaponizing mental health and therapy speak).

You will meet my well- being dog, she will change your life. 

There are 12 steps to self – care, nothing to do with burning candles and bathing in scented water – that’s hygiene and making small smelly fire.                                                                                        Building these 12 steps into conversations about well- being will change how staff interact with each other and with their work.

There are things you are supposed to do as the leader, ‘no meeting Mondays’ ‘great coffee and refreshments in the canteen’ ‘everyone gets a water bottle’ – this is just part of being a nice person. You are supposed to be nice!

True well being is an inner work. Once you have finished this module, you will have a clear understanding of what that inner work looks like and how to support it for the colleagues you lead.
