Why choose this course?

We cover globally recognised management and leadership theories, tools and techniques and adapt them to your needs, putting each one into practice. You get to network and learn with others in the development sector, exercise new knowledge and skills on topics including influence, motivation and power analysis. Finally, you leave the training course with a clear plan of how to apply what you have learnt, directly to your work.

We also offer MiRo mapping for all our participants, so what is MiRo?

The MiRo Psychometric tool was developed by occupational psychologists in conjunction with business professionals. It was created in order to give people a quick and accessible assessment with straight forward and easy to understand results. One of its other advantages is that the MiRo tool has been specifically designed to act as a bridge between all the most important psychometrics on the market such as MBTI, DISC, Insights, Belbin and so on. This means that whatever psychometric may have been used in the past people will be able to make the link to their MiRo results, creating a single language that can be easily used back in the workplace.

Individuals, teams and managers gain insights into behaviour, motivations, communication and relationships, make better decisions, deal with change and personel more effectively. Reports are written in plain English and are designed specifically to be used in the workplace. You don’t need to be a psychologist or have read any difficult books to understand them or to get the most from using them. MiRo also uses maps and graphs where these can help and has a number of resources and tools available to users to help them to integrate the learning that they gain into their working practices and behaviours. MiRo was designed to make a difference and to give you what you need in an easy to use package so that you can get what you need and then get on with your job.

Travel without the visa stress

We know that travelling can come with the difficult process of visa applications. That’s why we are holding our training in Cape Town and Bangkok – so you can get to the easiest place for you (and reduce your carbon footprint too!). The process to obtain a visa to enter certain countries, is often lengthy and cannot be guaranteed. We are happy to provide support and assistance during the process however we would recommend that you attend our training in the location that will be easiest for you.
Through a mix of practical activities, theory and case examples you will learn how to:
• critically reflect on your assumptions, group dynamics, and their effect on influencing change
• understand how Theory of Change underpins Strategic Planning
• apply participatory methodologies to foster ownership and representation through the planning process
