ABOUT THE WORKSHOP​

Our workshops are not only educational and inspiring but also fun, interactive, and transformative.

Each delegate will experience reflective learning to see how the new insights apply directly to their role, and transformative realisations where they realise the impact their enhanced leadership skills can have on the team, on team dynamics and on the output of the department.

Based on the training needs analysis of leaders  at this stage, we have devised five key workshops to be delivered in succession:

​

1. Communication to Empower Team Success

2. Presenting with Authority and Impact

3. Engage and Influence: Aligning Teams Positively to Business Goals

4. Ownership and Accountability for Personal and Departmental Objectives

5. Understanding Key Performance Indicators: Metrics to Achieve, Stretch and Exceed

​

These workshops are best delivered in succession so that delegates can build on the lessons of previous workshops.

 

We begin with communication – the bedrock of successful teams and businesses, covering the importance of communication and how we deliver key messages through an influential language and leadership style.

​

We then move on to learn about presenting with authority and impact, covering techniques in storytelling and engaging the audience at all levels. This leads to engaging and influencing, teaching delegates how to align their teams to hit business goals, and the power of building a reputation as a positive influencer in the department.

​

Next, we explore ownership and accountability in business, with delegates learning why this is paramount to achieving targets and delivering on customer expectations. This creates a natural progression to the final workshop on Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), teaching delegates how KPIs are set, why they’re important, and how the effective management of KPIs leads to the longevity and growth of a business.

 

HOW DOES THE EMERGING TALENT PROGRAMME WORK?

The inspiring and challenging Emerging Talent Programme consists of five immersive workshops, each lasting two hours.

Each workshop can be completely tailored to the needs of the business, and Dionne will meet with the business beforehand to set objectives, understand the landscape and adapt the programme to your bespoke needs.  

The workshops can accommodate up to 10 delegates. This creates a focused and personalised learning experience with each delegate getting the chance to participate as a group, and also receive one-to-one support.

The Emerging Talent Programme is uniquely designed to empower newly promoted first-line leaders and any emerging talent that has been identified for career development. This programme provides them with the tools, insights, and connections necessary to help them in their role as a leader or as a business advocate that will influence for success.

This transformative journey will not only enhance their capabilities but also create synergies within the group that will create a united approach to driving organisational excellence.

 

 

What’s covered?

 

Workshop 1

Communication to Empower Team Success

Effective communication is the foundation of successful leadership. This workshop focuses on enhancing communication skills by teaching delegates:

• How to articulate ideas;

• How to create a culture of collaboration; and,

• How to use communication to build influential networks.

Strong communication is vital in engineering and manufacturing environments for both performance and engagement. This is especially relevant in target-driven environments when ‘effective touch-points’ can have such a powerful impact on the output of the day.

Following this workshop, we often hear how delegates feel more confident approaching difficult situations, communicating key messages, but also adapting their style to each unique situation, communicating with impact. 

 

Workshop 2

Presenting with Authority and Impact

Presentations are a powerful tool for driving business success. Our training hones presentation skills to perfection by teaching:

• How to captivate audiences through storytelling;

• How to deliver messages with impact; and,

• How to build rapport and create meaningful connections with different audiences, at different levels.

Delegates will get the opportunity to create a short presentation and deliver it to the rest of the group, putting their new skills in to practice.

These skills are essential for emerging leaders to effectively communicate their ideas and influence stakeholders.

Following this workshop, delegates tell us that realising presentations are just like telling a story, it helps to ease the anxiety prior to presenting.

 

Workshop 3

Engage and Influence: Aligning Teams Positively to Business Goals

Engaging and influencing others is crucial for effective leadership when delivering on key business objectives. Our training equips delegates with strategies and techniques to inspire and motivate their teams or peer groups, fostering a culture of high performance and collaboration.

We do this by:

• Teaching how to get ‘buy-in’ through engaging at various points; and, 

• How to influence people at different levels to get positive outcomes for the business.

In engineering and manufacturing environments, it's not just the level of authority that has an impact, but the ability to engage and influence others.

Following this workshop, we often hear that learning the power of influencing is as powerful as leadership. You don’t need to be in a leadership role to lead people through change: Advocates are leaders too.

 

Workshop 4

Ownership and Accountability for Personal and Departmental Objectives

Exceptional leaders exhibit traits of ownership and accountability. Our programme instils a strong sense of responsibility, teaching delegates to take ownership of their tasks, projects, and teams by:

 

• Identifying key ways to embed ownership in each individual; and

• Showing how to measure ownership and accountability through the KPIs.

By driving results and achieving outstanding outcomes, emerging leaders in engineering and manufacturing can gain trust and understand how their contributions align with business deliverables.

Following this workshop, we often hear how ownership and accountability can create high-performing teams when each individual fosters this work ethic.

​

Workshop 5

Understanding Key Performance Indicators: Metrics to Achieve, Stretch and Exceed

KPIs are essential for showing you how healthy the business (or department) is and, as we know, what we can’t measure we can’t manage. Our training offers a comprehensive understanding of the importance of KPIs.

Delegates will learn how to set meaningful KPIs by:

• Understanding how to breakdown the overall business KPIs into departmental KPIs;

• How individual KPIs feed into the department KPIs; and,

• How to track progress, spot problem areas and drive performance using the KPIs as the metrics.

By managing KPIs, we ensure organisational goals are met and exceeded. Clearly defined KPIs align everyone with business goals, making them particularly relevant in engineering and manufacturing environments where the demand for targets is high.

Following this workshop, we often hear delegates talking about the value of KPIs in their department and introducing more frequent touchpoints with their managers on their performance.
