Follow The Leader

Follow the Leader is a middle leadership and management programme for those who sometimes have to lead, sometimes have to follow and nearly always have to manage. This series is aimed at people who wish to improve their skills and effectiveness in the workplace and will be excited by the opportunity to work in a small group with experienced trainers.  

Workshops are face to face and include a range of activities to enable participants to focus their learning and development on the topic.  Style, content and method will vary between workshops, but all involve interactive learning that really enables participants to take away skills to use in their current and future roles.

Please view the individual workshops below for further details on course content, as well as cost per session and locations.

The overall programme is led by Jo Goldsmith on behalf of Lead. For general queries on Follow the Leader and for any suggestions of future topics please contact Jo - jo@thejlc.org.

Unfortunately this training workshop is now full to capacity. If you would like to be added to the waiting list, please e-mail Jo Goldsmith (jo@thejlc.org).

Leaders today understand that executive presence, active listening, and self-awareness of the impact their behaviour and emotions have on others are essential skills to have.

Confidence in leaders’ ability to facilitate and chair effective meetings can be derailed when they are put on the spot, by one aspect of communication that often goes unrecognised - the “non-verbals.”

Research states that over 90% of what people remember are the non-verbal factors of communication: How you look and how you sound. These factors can reduce the impact and effectiveness of what you say in meetings particularly leading discussions, ensuring everyone gets a chance to talk, responding to questions and handling objections.

Join this session to learn how to be the most engaging and authentic Facilitator/Chair.

As a manager, your ability to persuade, influence, and negotiate is paramount to driving organisational success and fostering a collaborative work environment. This interactive and practical workshop will show you how to improve your impact in a variety of different situations.

Measuring and Evaluating Your Impact

Measuring and Evaluating Your Impact

This half-day session is for those who are keen to know more on the subject of evaluation and learning. The focus is on making evaluation proportionate, both to your resources and to the people you work with. It takes a practical, structured approach to helping you decide what to measure and why, and how to measure that as effectively and efficiently as possible; with a particular focus on using surveys.

This interactive and practical workshop, facilitated by Elliot Trevithick from NPC, will show you how effective measurement and evaluation can increase the impact of your organisation.
