“The whole experience working with Engage Leadership has been great. Chloe was supporting us from start to finish, she went above and beyond to help us book the right solution. We chose to go with the Quality Conversations training as we wanted to equip our first-time managers with a toolkit to handle common challenges like giving feedback, leading tricky conversations and managing conflict. Our trainer, Aideen, was a fabulous facilitator and she shared useful strategies with everyone. She made the training into an interactive conversation with everyone feeling involved and included.”

“An engaging course, which enables you to delve deep to understand models around leadership, how people tick and how you can adapt to bring the best out of your team.”
“The trainer’s delivery of the course has been just the right balance between being informative as well as enjoyable. The course covered a number of key areas in a short space of time, but did not feel overwhelming. The trainer gave us the opportunity to reflect back on our learning through engaging activities which has proven to be meaningful and has personally given me the confidence to start using new skills and implement the learning acquired especially around leadership traits and styles.”

“Had been impressed with a talk from David on achieving the benefits of ‘positive conflict’ so invited him/Engage Leadership to facilitate a process to optimise our Executive team-working. Really worked well: the power of professional external facilitation allowed us all to take more risk and confront issues in a more open way. Now have a great framework – both individual and team – for taking the team to an even better level of interaction: critical given the pressures we are facing in our business sector. And it was fun too!”
“Engage Leadership worked with us to develop our purpose, values, behaviours and strategy. The facilitators brought professionalism, knowledge & fun to the assignment. In workshops, they encouraged a relaxed atmosphere where effective learning and contribution was valued.”

This course has been designed to develop the skills for managers to use coaching effectively to manage their teams on a day-to-day basis. They’ll be able to adopt a transformational leadership approach, engage their teams, and work as an effective team member themselves.
By attending the programme, your leaders will:
- Develop a mindset for appreciative enquiry as an effective way to create awareness of self and others
