Module Overview

This workshop is called ‘Managing Poor Performance’ but we’ve also rebranded it as ‘Managing for Success’ or ‘Having Courageous Conversations’ - because both of those are true too. If you want to find out how to turn performance around, this workshop is for you.

You will cover:

• Understanding the differences between poor performance and other issues
• 6 clever ways to tell someone they're not doing well - without any tears or anger!
• What to include in a performance plan & how to phrase it
• The way to know when to make discussions more formal
• The simple way to stop taking on the monkey and get your employee engaged and motivated to improve.

“There was lots of useful information and tools - I really enjoyed the scenarios and case studies”.

Manager, Dairy NZ

“I found learning the approach to start the converation very useful • This was one of the top 5 of all workshops I’ve ever done”.

Managers, NZ Customs Service

You can’t always get managers together for a workshop - or you may just have one or two managers who would like to complete this  training - so the online module is the way to do this.

Comprising of a number of video’s to watch, quizzes to take, case studies to analyse and actions to make - this module is interactive and the next best thing to coming to the workshop itself.  Priced at just NZ$45 or GBP£22 per person.

Self-Run Workshop

Want a facilitated workshop but without the cost of having someone externally come in to run it? Try a self-run workshop instead! These are designed for anyone to be able to ‘lead’ the workshop.

The Workshop ‘Lead’ has access to a special online module which has videos to play during the workshop, and then guidelines on how to run a discussion following the video. They also have some special training sections run by Angela Atkins to prepare them to lead the workshop.

This also helps build training and facilitation skills for the Workshop ‘Lead’. An extremely cost effective solution at NZ$95/ GBP£45 per person for a workshop so you can run it for just a few managers or for many! The price includes:

•  each attendee having access to an online assessment
• printed workbooks for all attendees
• Access for the Workshop Lead to the online training session with Angela Atkins and the online workshop ‘lead’ module.

Off the Shelf Workshop

Do you have experience facilitating or running training workshops, but not the time to develop the materials yourself, test them out, refine them and then finalise them? Our off the shelf workshop may be the solution for you!

With each workshop you get:

• A set of PowerPoint slides you can customise with your logo.
• A set of A5 workbooks so that managers attending can take notes. Further workbooks can be purchased if you are running this for 13+ managers.
• A Facilitators guide that has notes on how to present each slide and corresponding section in the notebook. These are not ‘scripts’ of what to say, but key messages of what to include so that you can add your own wording to the workshop.
