Helping people to learn, grow and maximise their potential
Leadership training is concerned with more than the individual manager; as they become more skilled in how they communicate, motivate and develop their people, the training becomes an investment in the whole team. Research has shown the most important factor in determining how productive people are and how long they stay with a business is the relationship with their line manager. In the current climate, the ability to lead and inspire a team will be even more crucial for remote working and hybrid workplace.
At Develop People we work closely with your business to understand the business context and challenges your leaders face in order to design bespoke cost-effective training solutions. Our training is aimed at managers who are moving into a senior role, middle managers and new or aspiring managers. On our modular programmes participants experience a personal development journey and learn alongside colleagues from other parts of the business, which helps build unity and cohesion. Client feedback indicates our training is informative, enjoyable and challenging and makes a real difference in developing skills, changing behaviours and enhancing performance.
Develop People can also deliver training for your employees to support their continuous professional development. A LinkedIn Workforce Learning Report found “94% of employees say they would stay at a company longer if they invested in their development”.
The format can be varied: a modular leadership development programme over a 6 month period, a one-day skills course or a 2-hour bite-sized session.
Training can be delivered virtually, in a classroom setting or as part of a blended approach.
The content is informed by latest models, tools and techniques and where appropriate, can include the use of psychometrics or a 360 feedback process.
In demand topics include: building self-awareness, leading remotely, team-building, managing change, developing resilience, coaching skills and handling difficult conversations.
The style is practical, interactive and highly relevant to participants, with the use of small group discussion of real issues and practising skills using real workplace scenarios.
We can also help evaluate the impact and results of the training to ensure a ROI.

All the courses have been designed and tailored to our needs and have always received very positive feedback from all those who received the training. I can recommend Carmel without hesitation.
