Leadership
‘How can I motivate my team members?’ This is a question that all too often raises during our leadership programs. And guess what? People aren’t always as predictable as you would imagine: we’ve outgrown the most extrinsic ‘rewarding systems’. During this session, managers are stimulated to motivate their team members through their intrinsic drivers: autonomy, mastery and purpose.
Can you become a top coach without having excellent coaching skills? We think you can! You can already achieve a great deal by concentrating on the Pareto principle: achieve 80% of the results with your coachee by only taking 20% coaching actions. This 20% consists of systematic goal setting, follow-up of these goals and redirecting them. The secret word in all this is ‘systematic’. After this session you will no longer rely on coincidence for the success of your coachee. You will build in the guarantee!
We as facilitators take our hats off for the managers that we meet during our trainings. We notice that most of them not only manage an immense operational work pressure, but also invest a lot of time and energy into their role as people manager. The expectations are nothing more than high: leading in the right direction, motivating others, putting the right people at the right place, providing structure, achieving results, improving processes, … All very important no doubt, but not very efficient to work on everything at once, is it?! This session will provide people managers with the focus they so desperately need.
Richard Branson inspired us yet again last year during the Flanders DC event with his vision ‘What is a company but a collection of people?’. The only way to maintain as a company in this ever transforming society full of new challenges and a ‘war for talent’, is to invest in ‘people power’! During this session we confront the leader with his role as a people manager and we provide him with practical tools to develop a systematic and sustainable people management practice.

Change doesn’t always have to be hard. It can also inspire, generate new opportunities, motivate people, … Make sure you lead the change by getting the ratio, emotion as well as the environment involved into your new story!

Situational leadership
Most managers consider situational leadership the training they wish they would have gotten earlier! Why? Because every manager comes to certain insights during his career, whether the easy way or the hard way: clear instructions are an important management tool, vagueness never goes unpunished, not everyone is coachable or has to be coached, a participative approach can create amazing opportunities in the right situation, you have to start delegating at one point or another, ... During this session we will provide you with a useful set of practical tips where new and even more experienced managers can get started with.
