All my clients are in a difficult spot and I’ve developed a trio of new in-house management training programmes to help. Luckily I’m able to keep costs down – get in touch if you’d like to find out more.

 “Talk Yourself Out of Trouble”

Challenge and conflict in organisations can get more difficult in tough times – this course will help your managers to –

• Get key messages across succinctly and with confidence
• Handle direct challenges to their position
• Mediate in conflict between staff
• Have difficult conversations
• Understand the key behaviours for managers in a recession

 “Keep Your People Going”

The fear of redundancy provides short term motivation but creates a corrosive culture of fear – this course will help your managers to –

• Create discussion about the future, even in tough times
• Use team and project meetings to address the real challenges whilst focusing on success
• Engage with their staff as individuals and groups
• Build and maintain performance around what really matters to people
• Turn around despondency and a lack of commitment

 “Building Team Relationships and Morale”

Employees leave managers but stay for their teams – this course will help your managers to –

A Splendid Sight

March 21, 2011

Optimistic Little Poem

Now and then it happens

that somebody shouts for help

and somebody else jumps in at once

and absolutely gratis.

Here in the thick of the grossest capitalism

round the corner comes the shining fire brigade

and extinguishes, or suddenly

there’s silver in the beggar’s hat.

Mornings the streets are full

of people hurrying here and there without

daggers in their hands, quite equably

after milk or radishes.

As though in a time of deepest peace.

A splendid sight.

Hans Magnus Enzenberger, translated by David Constantine
