In addition to one to one business coaching, Richard and his associates offer a wide range of courses and events and operate within an extensive network of tried and trusted training professionals with proven track records.
One of our strongest selling points is that, crucially, we have all been managers and leaders across different organisations and as such we not only understand the theory of management and leadership principles, but also the practicalities of the implementation of those theories. We pride ourselves on highlighting the practical applications throughout the sessions to ensure a greater embedding of the learning on return to the ‘reality’ of the workplace.
One key area of our focus at present is the situation which many new (and experienced) managers find themselves in. They have probably received a significant amount of input into their technical training and as such have found themselves progressing up the promotion ladder within their organisation. Now they find themselves in the position of being ‘people managers’ a by-product of promotion – and not always an easy or welcome or supported one. Inspire understands this and has put together a suite of courses and coaching programmes to tackle this head on – either individually or in group training sessions.
