Insight sessions

Fuel for the brain

Personal development comes in many different shapes and sizes and these "insight" sessions are designed to be quick, accessible, highly practical and engaging.

 

Something to stimulate your mind while you take a short break from your working day.

  2.   An extra 15 to 20 minutes Q&A for participants who have a little extra time

  3.   Suitable for teams, departments or whole organisations

  4.   Delivered by one of our expert facilitators

  5.   A moderator to field questions and manage the session

  6.   Time and date to suit you

  7.   Useful tips and practical actions that can be put into practice immediately

MANAGING OVERWHELM: TAKING BACK CONTROL

Understand overwhelm & learn how to use it to your advantage 

Feeling overwhelmed is our brain's way of telling us that there is too much to cope with and that something needs to change. We often notice when we are feeling overwhelmed but the tricky bit is knowing what to do about it. You will learn how being overwhelmed can actually be a good thing and you will take away practical things to help you manage in the moment and reduce your stress levels.

AWAKENING PASSION IN YOUR ROLE

Understand the science of passion, and how you can activate it.

Passion is something to be developed, activated, and harnessed and with the right techniques you can experience the benefits of passion every day. In this session, we aim to explore the scientific techniques you can use to trigger greater passion in your role, giving you greater control and autonomy over how you navigate your way forward.

METAPHOR: THE NEXT LEVEL OF COMMUNICATION

Metaphor is a powerful tool to negotiate, influence, and inspire.

Traditionally, metaphor has been seen purely as the tool of poets and writers. But it is so much more: By using well-chosen metaphors, organisations can bring clarity, simplicity and insight to diverse audiences, enhancing our communication, storytelling, and our brand image.

BEING IN THE MOMENT

Learn how to manage emotional reactions in difficult moments.

Sometimes when we’re challenged by others, we can panic, stumble over our words, and find it difficult to recover. If these moments happen often enough, our self-confidence and performance can end up being even more deeply impacted, and we can even question our own capabilities.

EFFECTIVE FEEDBACK

Here, we explore simple tools and techniques which will turn giving and receiving feedback into a positive experience.

WHY HONEST PEOPLE CHOOSE TO CHEAT

Ethics isn't just about rules, but how people respond to them.

Most ethics training focuses on compliance: rules, whistleblowing and responding to ethical breaches. To really improve ethical culture, we also need to understand the behavioural science and psychology of people - so, what makes good people behave dishonestly?

TRIGGERING FLOW

Learn the triggers to activate a state of pure, positive motivation.

Work can be hectic, and multitasking doesn't work as well as we think it might. But what if we could access a pure state of motivation, called flow, which can increase our productivity, boost our learning, enhance our job engagement and even promote greater wellbeing? Research has unearthed how anyone can access flow.

MAKING WORK CONFLICT PRODUCTIVE

Learn how to embrace conflict in a productive and constructive way.

Conflict is often looked upon as something to be avoided, but in doing so, we suppress thoughts and may miss out on critical input. Embracing conflict in a constructive manner can enable better discussion, foster inclusivity, and produce much greater results.

An antidote to the exhaustion of remote and hybrid working

Working remotely or as part of a hybrid team takes a huge toll on our natural levels of energy and resilience – most of us are more exhausted now than we’ve ever been in the past, and with good reason.
