HR Professionals and Managers: Do you want to develop your people at work with fast, practical methods that don't waste their time?

Who we work with:

We work with HR Professionals and Managers who are looking for the latest, practical, time efficient ways to develop their people. Our clients and their people are busy. They don't have time to go off for long periods of time to traditional 'classroom trainings'. They have busy people who need fast, practical methods to help them improve while at work. They want development and learning to happen 'at work on work' with lots of support and follow up .

Managers : Are you looking for help to turn a group of individuals into a high performing team ? Do you want to see both an improvement in results and improvement in the way the team works together ? (click here)

HR and Managers : Do you and your people have very high workloads? Do you want to learn the method Fortune 500 companies such as Google and Microsoft are teaching their staff to help them be more productive and feel back in control ?

HR Professionals: Are you looking for a better way to develop your Leaders than time consuming 'classroom training' courses?

If you are like most HR Professionals you have an interesting dilemma. You are responsible for finding new ways to develop busy Leaders in the business. However most Managers tell us they find traditional 'classroom training' to be time consuming, impractical, lacking follow through and providing no measurable results. Sound familiar to you? What most Managers and HR Professionals tell us they want from their Leadership Development programmes is this;

• Fast: Is not time consuming for me. I can develop 'at work, on real work'
  
• Practical: I can see how I can use this straight away in my role and with my people
  
• Measurable results: I can see on a monthly basis the progress I am making and I can  see the numbers at the end
  
• Research proven: Methods based on proven results get my buy in

Feedforward Coaching: Helping you Managers succeed in real time is a 7 step process

1. Each leader receives a confidential feedback report of their current strengths and weaknesses
2. With a coach or mentor (and HR feedback) they select 1 or 2 key areas to improve. These should have a significant impact on their Leadership performance.
3. They choose 5 people to be their internal Feedforward coaches.
4.  On a monthly basis they ask for Feedforward ideas from their Feedforward coaches (positive suggestions on how they could improve in their chosen areas).
5. They meet with their external coach/mentor once a month to create an action plan and keep them following through (they give their coach 'nagging rights').
   
6. At the 3 and 6 month mark we measure their improvement in results and feed these results back to the Manager and the business.
7. Having learnt the method we then help the Manager create a plan to continue their development with out needing a coach
   

Managers: Do you have a team you want to develop?

Are you responsible for a team that you want to improve over the next 6 months (both the results they get and the way they work together?)  Do you want a custom tailored plan for your team that they will buy into and execute over the next 3- 6 months? How big could the impact be for you and the business if you really got your team working well?

High Performing Teams: How we help Managers develop their Teams

1. We meet with you to find out what your goals are for your team
2. We agree to the measures we will use to assess the teams progress
3. We work with you and your people to find the keys areas of focus will have the fastest, easiest impact for the team
4. We design a programme for your team based on your preferences for delivery - Off sites, action planning, coaching, working groups
5. We implement your custom-tailored programme with you and your people over a period of 1 to 6 months (depending on your goals and preferences)
6. We get your people on board and then support, push and encourage everyone to get results
7. We measure the results and progress

Tools to Handle Heavy Workloads

This programme was designed in response to the overwhelming feedback I heard from staff I was meeting that they were buckling under the weight of the amount of work they had to get done . This led me to a 12 month worldwide search of the research and best practice methods for dealing with massive workloads. I was looking for what my clients wanted: the tools and methods that were the fastest, most time efficient and practical to help them deal with a heavy workload. For the first 6 months I personally trialled all the tools myself to eliminate any time consuming, weak or impractical ones. There were plenty that were eliminated. The ones that survived were the fastest, strongest and best. Then I started training and coaching clients on how to use them. This further clarified what worked best for people. Finally we pulled the best tools together into one succinct package (90 mins - no messing around ) . The feedback and response from people has been overwhelmingly positive. Read some of the comments on the right from participants.

The Modern Workers Dilemma

• Too much not to do, enough time 
• Feelings of overwhelm and disorganisation 

Best Practice Tools Session

• Can be used immediately after the session 

  6 Best Practice Tools for Getting Things Done  

1. Clear up Y our Work Station: How to tidy up your work area so that it stays tidy forever
2. The '2 minute rule': How to clear all your 'pebbles' 
3. Batching:   Getting your 'next actions' sorted 
4. The List of 2: How to get your work done before 10am 
5. Parkinson' s Law: How to use this principle to do get things done fast 
6. Feedforward: A method for getting ideas from others in the room on how they deal with specific workload issues. 

How it works

• A 90 min workshop which is a combination of new tools and conversations 
• For people who want help to implement the method at their workstation, they can have a follow session to help them implement. 
• How to Handle Heavy Workloads is part of a coaching programme people can choose to follow up with. The coaching helps people to implement and follow through to hold them accountable for ingraining their good new methods.         

Why we are different - what you'll get from us and no one else 

1. Let's start with Your Money Back Guarantee:  It's not fair that the client takes the risk and consultants take none.  So we put our money where our mouth is.  If  you don't think you got value you pay only what  you think it was worth.  Period.
2. Proven, measurable results:  After all, that's what you care about, isn't it?  We can offer our guarantee because our results are proven.  But don't just take it from us - read what businesses such as Yellow Pages, Deloitte, Ricoh and others are saying ( see testimonials ).
3. Practical solutions:  Not theories, not models.  Everything we give to you is designed to be used immediately, at work, on real work issues.
4. The biggest improvements for the least effort: We're picking that you want the most impact for the least time and effort.  Therefore we'll find the two or three levers with your people that will bring about the biggest improvements for the least effort.  It's the 80/20 principle!
5. Custom-tailored:  Because your situation is unique, your programme will be unique.  Designed for you and tailored for your people and your issues.
6. We implement it for you:  You are already busy enough so we are not going to tell you what to do.  Together, we will work out what the strategy and then we will implement it for you (with your support - of course!).
7. Respect from your peers:  Clients say that other managers and the competition start to take notice when you start getting results with a team that is focused, committed, motivated and happy to be there.
