Efficient and productive meetings
Getting your people to make the most of meetings as both leader and participant.
Most professionals spend hours in meetings, both virtually and in person. They’re an important way for individuals to receive and convey information, discuss, and make decisions, whether they’re internal or with clients or other professional contacts.
However, they can become habitual, ineffective and waste resources.
Constructive feedback
Ensure your people know how to give and receive useful, effective feedback.
Feedback should be useful and implementing it means it positively impacts your people’s careers, their performance, and therefore your organisation’s performance.
However, too often, your people’s ability to get clear feedback and utilise it, is limited by lack of skills in how to both give and receive feedback on a regular, helpful basis. Your people need to understand the key role feedback plays in professional development – it’s never just ‘ticking a box’. When feedback is given positively and constructively, it is more likely to be taken on board and acted upon.
Successful networking
Teach your people how to network confidently and strategically.
Networking should actively contribute to business success. It’s crucial to career progression and for some of your people it has a very direct relationship to business performance; yet too often your people may avoid it or don’t make the most of networking opportunities.
Valuable LinkedIn use
Why and how to have an effective profile that builds professional visibility.
A positive professional presence on LinkedIn is the rule not the exception. LinkedIn is another tool in your people’s professional impact and relationship building box – and like all tools there is a skill to using it effectively and well.
Effective hybrid working
Ensure your team get the most out of new ways of working.
Hybrid working, that combination of working from home and the office, is here to stay. While it will vary and change as your organisation's need adapts to the various market forces, your people need to know how to be effective whatever the ways of working are.
