*    Signature Workshop through Capita-Global

    Leadership through Communications

We have conducted this workshop in some 15 Countries and it is cultural neutral. The workshop’s methodology is highly interactive and  develops and/or reinforce sound management skills particularly in people management, self-awareness and communications.

During the workshop we engage and discuss with client’s staff, who may now or might have in the future a leadership role, the achievement of positive results through communications and develop a strategy to move with their workforce towards excellence in performance.

The workshop’s duration is 2-days minimum where participation in a combination of discussions, role-plays and case studies resulted in the reevaluation and enhancement of the desired clients skills sets.

The workshop is very adaptive to clients needs and is driven by a set of ‘self-discovery’ questionnaires and the directed discussions that follow their completions together with a set of individual and group exercises that reinforce the material discussed in self–discovery.

A substantial workbook master is supplied that is also tailored to individual client needs. The majority of information included in the 200-page workbook being of the ‘aide to memoir’ type, that is articles, extensive communications notes etc. The workbook is available in either US English or British English

The workshops program is designed around four core areas of approximately 14 workshop hours plus a final session of some 2 hours where closure on the future Client operational guidelines will be obtained. These five areas are: 

1.      The identification of needs, achieved through self-discovery.  

2.       The Leadership role, where the participants determine their most appropriate style in the context of the Client organization. Areas experienced and discussed are Interpersonal skills, people management, and performance management.

3.     The process of communications using a series of practical skills acquisition activities and discussions that consider the value to Client of networking, inter and intra team communications, personal presentation skills and the formal and informal communication exchange.

4.       Our role in achieving results through leadership in the continuous improvement process including discussion of the factors of priority setting and establishing targets, and worker involvement through teams and natural workgroups.

5.       Closure.  It is vital to the success of the workshop to establish positive actives for the future.  This final session determines action items for participants to implement within their operations.
