Individual coaching, training and mentoring - flexible for Personal Development Budgets

If your organisation has a Personal Development / Learning budget, and you'd like to use it for personal training, mentoring and coaching - this is designed for you.

It's a focused, lower budget, customised version of the New Manager Training programme. That offers comprehensive training and support. This one is limited scope - select the most useful management topics below and work through those, to the budget and time available. If a few colleagues are interested, you can pool budgets to agree a custom course.

This can start from as little as £250 for both a preliminary assessment meeting to recommend materials and application, and a deep dive coaching / training follow up. More sessions will be possible with higher budgets - or if a few people from a team want to pool their budget and do a few sessions together, that is an option too.

As with the New Manager Training programme, there are a range of topics which people might want to focus on for the session/s; or there may have been recent feedback / incidents pointing to specific areas.

• Managing teams – performance management, leadership, delegation, feedback, goal setting, coaching, psychological safety, team dynamics, difficult conversations, interviewing.

• Managing self – communication, emotional intelligence, self awareness, time management and prioritisation, wellbeing management

• Managing managers – tailoring communications, presentation skills, stakeholder management, organisational awareness, levelling up.

• Managing delivery – decision making, problem solving, planning, resource and budget management, change management, continuous improvement

• Managing influence – strategic thinking, political awareness, sales / persuasion, innovation and creativity, leadership presence

The preliminary meeting will work out:

• what to cover

• the broad structure of the following session/s;

• the self-study materials to recommend to the coachee.

The following meeting/s will work through the plan, alternating between training, consulting, mentoring and coaching as needed.

• We will discuss the materials and how the coachee has applied them, and learnings / adaptations from this.

• Equally, however, we'll work on the more subtle side of management, using coaching to help them find an authentic, confident leadership style.

• This gives the manager not only the reassurance of theoretical knowledge, but also the support to best apply the information and to enact inner changes.

Note: This programme is for a single manager using their own learning budget - or for a few people's pooled budget to focus on couple of topics.

The 'New Manager Programme' is a more comprehensive and transformational offering.

If the company has several managers who want to improve their management skills, see the ‘Management cohort upskill programme’.
