Leadership development for organisational success

If you are forming a new team or leading a team which has experienced a number of changes, this will support you to bring a diverse group of individuals/kaimahi together to form an effective team who share a common purpose and can achieve desirable outcomes.

Forming new teams requires an understanding of how to lead effectively in a climate of change; why individuals/kaimahi resist change and how to support them effectively; how high functioning teams are formed and your role as a leader; and how to use coaching and mentoring tools to grow others. 

As a leader, the ability to have courageous conversations is crucial for building relational trust and a positive culture among kaimahi.

For many reasons, most leaders find this aspect of leadership challenging.

This workshop provides an understanding of the key reasons of why we need to have courageous conversations, and offer opportunities to practise strategies and frameworks appropriate in Aotearoa, to develop your confidence in having successful conversations. 

Developing coaching or mentoring skills for leaders and kaimahi within an educational setting offers numerous benefits, both for the individuals involved and for the kura as a whole.

When kaimahi are trained to coach or mentor their colleagues, they become more adept at providing constructive feedback, fostering a culture of continuous learning, and encouraging personal and professional growth. This creates a supportive environment where knowledge and expertise are shared, leading to improved collaboration, enhanced problem-solving, and greater innovation across teams.

Additionally, kaimahi who engage in coaching or mentoring develop valuable leadership skills, such as active listening, empathy, and the ability to motivate others.

Ultimately, fostering a coaching and mentoring culture helps create a more dynamic, productive, and positive workplace.

This provides an understanding of effective coaching and mentoring skills and opportunities to practise these skills in contexts relevant to kaimahi. 

Is your organisation wanting to utilise the expertise and experience within your own company by providing an internal formalised coaching and/or mentoring programme?

An internal coaching or mentoring program offers numerous benefits for companies seeking to enhance employee development and organisational growth.

This programme will foster a culture of continuous learning and collaboration, enabling employees to build critical skills, gain new perspectives, and achieve their professional goals.

By pairing experienced mentors with mentees, organisations can accelerate knowledge transfer, reduce skill gaps, and improve overall performance. A coaching and mentoring programme contributes to higher employee engagement, retention, and job satisfaction, as individuals feel valued and supported in their career journeys.

This package provides you with the tools to design a coaching and or mentoring programme within your own organisation, including programme design, training of your internal mentors, support for successful pairing of coaches with coachees, and evaluation of the programme. 

eDISC profiling is a powerful tool for leaders who want to further develop an understanding of their leadership behaviours and how to best work with others.

The profiling reports can provide self-awareness, an understanding of your strengths and areas of growth, and they can inform your goal setting. It provides you with valuable insights into how you can better communicate with and lead others. It is also an excellent tool for understanding team dynamics and providing guidance on how a team can work more effectively together. 

Coaching and mentoring provide invaluable personalised support for leaders to enhance your effectiveness and growth. Individual or group sessions can offer deeper insights into your strengths, challenges, and leadership or teaching styles. 

Coaching offers a partnership to explore self-awareness in shifting your thoughts and behaviour to maximise your personal and professional potential. Coaching provides space to explore new perspectives to bring about change. 

Mentoring can provide growth in specific areas of expertise which are essential to your leadership or kaiako role. This tailored approach allows for focused exploration of areas relevant to your context, such as communication, decision-making, conflict resolution, leading teams, emotional intelligence and the art of courageous conversations.
