Building high-performance
"The success of our organisation depends upon the quality and motivation of our people".
That's a maxim that most organisations would emphasise - and quite rightly so! It goes without saying that the performance of a committed and enthusiastic workforce will far out-strip that of a group which is simply turning-up, or even worse, is de-motivated and alienated.
What can you do to keep your people committed and performing to their best?
How do you...
- ...create a workplace which staff find engaging, energising and developmental?
- ...encourage staff to take responsibility?
- ...reduce staff turnover?
- ...improve communication, so the right information gets to the right people?
- ...find ways to incentivise staff which don't just involve paying higher salaries or bonuses?
The answer to all of these questions lies in the creation of a positive and empowering organisational culture.
“Engagement is the key to performance and retention. Highly committed employees try 57% harder, perform 20% better, and are 87% less likely to leave than employees with low levels of commitment.”
What Andromeda can offer
I've spent many years working inside organisations, including over 25 years in management roles, observing for myself the impact of different management styles, and what tends to work or not work in terms of human engagement and motivation. I've backed this up with my own leadership training, wide reading and study, and I've actively practiced training and skills development with colleagues and staff in business organisations over several years.
There is no single solution which fits every situation. But I have identified a number of adaptable, common-sense guidelines which will set your organisation on the right road.
Andromeda has a strong track record of delivering impactful training and development sessions within organisations. I can offer a variety of workshop, seminar or consultancy formats, together with one-to-one coaching for key personnel, which help to achieve and maintain more effective individual and/or team performance. My approach is to sit down with you and listen - to find out from you exactly what you are looking for - and then to design with you a programme that meets the specific needs of your organisation.
Throughout the period of the programme we will review progress together and make changes to your package to ensure it stays on track.
“Just a quick note to say a MASSIVE thanks for delivering your session....The response in the room was very strong and the feedback following the event has been excellent...
It was great to see everyone in the room going away at the break laughing together - genuinely enjoying themselves and learning at the same time - brilliant!!!”
Training Workshops
My workshops are typically targeted at groups of 10-12 people and are of a half-day or one-day's duration. I aim to create highly interactive sessions which encourage "learning through experience". The following is a selection of potential workshop formats:
- Communication skills
- Mentoring skills
- Coaching skills for leaders
- Exploring Vision and Values
- Team Dynamics
- Mindfulness
- Effective Meetings
- Stress Management
- Change Management
- Team-building-with-learning events (on- or off-site)
I can also create bespoke training modules to address specific organisational requirements on-request. For example this might be a structured development programme for a leadership team, or a wider programme of personnel support and re-orientation during company re-structuring.
