Course Description:

Anyone in a position of managing or leading others will benefit from the message delivered by these managing performance training. 

This training set out to help you to manage the performance of your workforce through common sense techniques that focus on the effective use of communication and goal setting to improve productivity and increase morale and motivation. 

The session will steer away from the procedural, form-filling approach to performance management/appraisals and instead focus on the skills required to effectively cooperate with team members, develop their skills and ensure they feel incentivised to succeed. With the techniques outlined in this training course you will feel empowered to enhance the performance of your team and begin to collaborate with them to improve their behaviors and ability in their role. 
Course Contents:
Managing Performance to Increase Productivity with our Quality Training

Management is ultimately about getting things done through others. Without a structured and clear approach to managing performance, where employees know what is expected of them and how they should approach their role, a manager is unable to effectively meet the level of productivity that is required. This will reflect badly on them and can impact on their own development. 

Therefore, managing performance can be one of the single most important things for a manager to get right. This requires a goal-focused, common-sense approach to working with employees that ensures they are motivated and focused on success.

These ‘Managing Performance’ training course materials will provide you with everything you need to develop the skills and build the confidence of your management audience.
 
Ultimately, the aim of these managing performance training course materials is to ensure you have the knowledge and skills to help you develop a team of high performing employees that are focused on success.

The Importance of Managing Performance – Establishing the key elements to a managing performance approach, why this is important and the benefits it can have for a manager. 

Making Performance Management Work – Changing current perceptions to performance management and highlighting the key factors that will help make it a success for managers. 

Setting Goals – Identifying what makes goal setting work and how it underpins the entire managing performance process. Linking goal setting to record keeping to ensure effective processes.

Reasons for Poor Performance – Highlighting the underlying factors behind poor performance and individual mindsets. 

Helping Poor Performers – Focusing on behaviour and results – translating ‘attitude’ to observed behaviours and looking to create improvement opportunities. Activities that review specific workplace scenarios. 

Developing Average Performers – Knowing values and motivators, what drives performers and how to get the best out of their performance whilst still encouraging them. 

Guiding High Performers – Establishing boundaries, creating opportunities, giving feedback and knowing when to praise. 

Managing Conflict and Discipline – Resolving conflict issues and embracing the opportunity disagreement can provide. Looking at the key components of discipline and following a set structure for implementation. 

The ‘DESC’ Model – Provision of a communication model that assists participants with structuring conversations around performance issues.

Performance Conversations – A practical activity following theoretical set-up that allows participants to practice and review the skills of effective performance communication. 
Who can attend?
Anybody who is interested in learning Managing Skills can attend this training.
Course Feature:
At the end of this managing performance, you will be able to
Manage performance by setting clearly aligned goals that are documented 
Identify causes of poor performance whilst working with employees to improve and develop 
Recognise and communicate success, focusing on behaviour and result
Cooperate with employees in order to increase productivity, morale and motivation.

Master plant tinctures are sacred, natural extracts derived from powerful Amazonian plants, each carrying unique healing properties. 

Used traditionally in shamanic practices, these tinctures provide a gentle, yet profound way to heal, release emotional blockages, and restore physical vitality. 

When you purchase these tinctures, you're contributing to the preservation of indigenous traditions as the Medicine Woman who makes them donates 50% of the proceeds to the Shipibo community in Iquitos, the true guardians of these medicines. 

The medicine women who makes them, fasts for 2 days before preparing them to ensure there is no external energy influencing the tinctures. The tinctures are also buried with the plant they are made from for 2 weeks to help strengthen their essence. 

Instructions:
1. Dosage & Absorption
Empty Stomach for Optimal Absorption: Take your tincture on an empty stomach, ideally at least 30 minutes before eating or 2 hours after your last meal. This enhances absorption and allows the plant’s energy to work more directly.
Sublingual Method (Under the Tongue): Place the recommended number of drops directly under your tongue and hold them there for about 1-2 minutes before swallowing. This method allows the plant’s essence to enter your bloodstream more quickly and efficiently.
Swallowing & Following with Water: If needed, you can follow with a sip of water or herbal tea, but avoid strong flavours that might interfere with the plant’s subtle energy.
2. Dietary Considerations
Avoid heavy, overly processed, or highly stimulating foods (e.g., caffeine, sugar, alcohol, or spicy foods) before and after taking the tincture, as they may interfere with the plant’s effects.
Simple, grounding meals such as lightly cooked vegetables, whole grains, and herbal teas, support a clearer connection to the plant.
If fasting or eating lightly while working with the tincture, listen to your body’s signals and adjust as needed.
3. Setting an Intention
Focused Approach: Working with one plant tincture for 1-2 weeks with a clear intention allows for a deeper relationship with the plant’s wisdom. Reflect on what you’re calling in whether it’s emotional healing, clarity, protection, or insight.
Intuitive Use: While structured use can be powerful, you can also work with the tincture as needed, trusting your intuition to guide you. It is safe for daily use if you feel called to it.
Journaling & Reflection: Keeping a small journal can help you track any insights, shifts, or emotions that arise during your work with the plant.
4. Adapting the Experience to You
There’s no rigid rule - some people benefit from structured, intentional work, while others find a more fluid, intuitive approach works best.
Pay attention to how your body, emotions, and energy respond. If you feel resistance or discomfort, pause and reflect on what the plant might be showing you.
Trust your own process and know that the relationship with plant medicine is deeply personal.
By approaching master plant tinctures with respect, presence, and openness, you can allow their wisdom to guide you in a way that best serves your journey. 🌿✨

Delivery
All prices include postage packaging and UK delivery and will be shipped once back I'm back in the UK. Please provide your address when you order. 

Expected delivery date: April 16th-18th 2025.

Lupuna Blanca works by helping us release deep-seated fears and conditioning that keep us small. It clears energetic blockages, strengthens the spirit, and enhances our connection to divine wisdom. This plant teaches us to hold our space with confidence, helping those who struggle with self-doubt, insecurity, or fear of stepping into leadership roles. On a physical level, Ceiba pentandra is a powerful ally for the immune system, offering protective and fortifying effects that strengthen overall vitality. It is also deeply grounding, bringing stability to those who feel overwhelmed, scattered, or disconnected from their purpose.
Tamamuri - Brosimum Acutifolium
Tamamuri is a powerful plant ally for deep purification and detoxification, working on both the physical and energetic levels to cleanse and restore balance. Traditionally used to eliminate toxins from the body, it is particularly known for supporting the liver, kidneys, and circulatory system. By enhancing the body's natural detoxification processes, it promotes overall vitality and well-being. Beyond its physical benefits, Tamamuri is also an energetic cleanser, helping to release trauma, negative emotions, and stagnant energy held in the body. Many who work with this plant experience a profound emotional reset, as it clears deeply embedded patterns and opens the space for renewal and lightness. It is especially helpful for those feeling weighed down by past experiences, grief, or emotional stagnation.
Renaquilla - Clusia osea Jacq
Renaquilla is revered for its ability to heal and harmonise relationships, particularly those between partners, family members, and close connections. Its medicine teaches unity, understanding, and emotional reconciliation, making it a powerful ally for those seeking to mend or strengthen bonds. Whether used to navigate conflicts, restore trust, or deepen emotional intimacy, Renaquilla works by dissolving energetic blockages that create distance or miscommunication. On a deeper level, this plant helps individuals see their own emotional patterns more clearly, revealing the wounds and conditioning that shape their relationships. By bringing these unconscious dynamics to light, Renaquilla supports self-awareness and emotional growth, allowing for more authentic connections. It encourages open-hearted communication, vulnerability, and forgiveness, making space for true healing. The tincture is best taken with a clear intention, either before a difficult conversation, meditation, or reflection on relational challenges. Some find it especially beneficial during relationship rituals or ceremonies, as it fosters emotional openness and mutual understanding. By working with Renaquilla, one can cultivate a deeper sense of connection, harmony, and love in relationships.
Chuchuhuasi - Maytenus spp.
Chuchuhuasi is a highly respected master plant, known for its ability to build physical, mental, and spiritual strength. Traditionally used to fortify the body, it is often sought after for its anti-inflammatory properties, pain-relieving effects, and ability to increase endurance and stamina. Many indigenous communities use Chuchuhuasi to support joint and muscle health, especially for those who experience chronic pain or physical fatigue. Beyond its physical benefits, this plant is considered a strict but powerful teacher, guiding individuals to cultivate resilience, perseverance, and inner strength. It is particularly beneficial during times of challenge, transformation, or deep personal work, helping one remain steadfast, disciplined, and unwavering on their path. Its medicine teaches that true strength comes not from force but from consistency, commitment, and alignment with one's purpose. The tincture is best taken over an extended period, as its effects accumulate with regular and intentional use. It can be especially supportive for those feeling exhausted, ungrounded, or lacking direction, as it helps to restore energy, determination, and focus. By working with Chuchuhuasi, one learns the art of endurance, patience, and unwavering dedication, both in the physical and spiritual realms.
Hubos - Spondias mombin 
Hubos is a revered grandmother plant, known for its profound ability to nourish, heal, and purify both the physical body and energetic field. Traditionally used for cleansing the blood and supporting the uterus, it is particularly beneficial for women’s health, aiding in menstrual regulation, postpartum recovery, and overall reproductive wellness. Beyond the womb, Hubos also works on the organs and circulatory system, helping to detoxify and restore balance to the body’s core systems. On an energetic level, Hubos is a powerful ally in the healing of deep-seated trauma and emotional wounds. It has a unique ability to access the memories stored within the body, bringing awareness to unresolved pain and gently guiding its release. Many who work with Hubos experience a profound sense of emotional cleansing, as it dissolves blockages and clears stagnant energies. It is particularly helpful for those seeking to let go of ancestral trauma, past emotional burdens, or subconscious patterns that no longer serve them. The tincture is best taken with a clear and intentional mindset, allowing the plant’s wisdom to work through the layers of physical and energetic imprints. 
Tanti Rao - Justicia pectoralis
Tanti Rao is a gentle yet powerful plant teacher that brings deep peace, energetic alignment, and emotional clarity. Known for its ability to calm the nervous system and balance emotions, it is often used in plant medicine work to help those struggling with anxiety, overthinking, and emotional turbulence. On a spiritual level, Justicia pectoralis enhances awareness, helping us tune into the subtle energies within and around us. It brings clarity to the mind, allowing us to see situations from a place of neutrality rather than reaction. This plant is often used to cleanse and realign the energy field, removing blockages and restoring the natural flow of energy in the body. Physically, Tanti Rao supports the heart and circulatory system, promoting relaxation and emotional equilibrium. It is an excellent plant for those seeking inner harmony, deeper self-awareness, and a sense of lightness in their journey.
Aya Vine - Banisteriopsos Caapi
The Aya vine is a sacred Amazonian plant revered for its profound spiritual and healing properties. Used traditionally by indigenous tribes in ceremonial practices, the vine is believed to open pathways to greater self-awareness, emotional healing, and spiritual awakening. It works as a potent ally in clearing deep-rooted emotional blockages, bringing suppressed fears, traumas, and negative patterns to the surface for release and transformation. Beyond emotional and psychological healing, Ayahuasca vine is known for its capacity to deepen one’s connection to intuition, inner guidance, and the natural world. Please note this product is just made from the vine and does not contain DMT. This tincture provides a gentle yet powerful way to connect with the essence of Ayahuasca in a more accessible, non-psychoactive form. Regular use can help align you with your higher purpose, calm your nervous system, and bring a sense of peace and harmony to your life.
Ayahuasca Vine is contraindicated for persons taking anti-depression or anxiety medications. Typical protocols require a person to be off these medications for at least three months prior to consuming Ayahuasca in any form, including vine tincture.

Whetstone Communications, in association with comms2point0, is delighted to bring your another free webinar to support your learning and development.Our aim is to boost interest in using evidence and improve levels of data literacy among not-for-profit communicators.For this session we&#39;re delighted to be welcoming&nbsp;Laurel Smithson, Communications Manager (Humanitarian and Strategic) and colleagues from Hertfordshire County Council.&nbsp;Session OutlineAs many organisations face ever-decreasing budgets, comms professionals are increasingly asked to do more with less, or even cut some activity.&nbsp;&nbsp;Hertfordshire County Council last year found itself with just a small budget to do deliver its annual residents&rsquo; survey &ndash; a vital tool that underpins much of its work. It also ensures it remains accountable to our residents and informs work across the organisation.It had to find a way to deliver it in-house, but delivering results that surpassed expectations.&nbsp; This session aims to equip you and your colleagues with the skills and knowledge to produce your own in-house survey, including:&nbsp;&middot;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; The how and the what (what questions).&nbsp;&middot;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Understanding weighting and benchmarking.&nbsp;&middot;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; How to publicise the survey to drive up responses.&nbsp;&middot;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; How to share the results of the survey.&nbsp;&nbsp;Who should attend?*People working in local government communications* Anyone in the public or not for profit sector with responsibility for running or promoting stakeholder surveys.

The start of the year has brought about a fresh wave of curiosity and excitement in public sector comms over the application of AI.

Data analysis is being touted as one application; for campaign planning, as well
as for evaluation and measurement.

It sounds like the answer to the communications profession's data achilles heel!

But hallucination in results remains an issue - what looks impressive might be totally undermined by a major error.

So where does that leave us? How can we use AI productively but safely and confidently for data work in comms campaigns and BAU?

This webinar will cover:

- Use cases
- Tools to consider
- Pitfalls with current Large Language Models (LLMs)
- Demo of mistakes it makes
- Top tips for using GenAI in your work
- Q&A
