Course Overview:
Disagreements, differences of opinion and conflicting perspectives on key issues inevitably arise in any context where people are working together.
Research has shown that workplace conflicts can become highly destructive. Negative emotions may be stirred up, poisoning team morale, creating stress and destroying relationships.
Conflict may emerge between managers and their staff, between team members or departments.
Conflict may be expressed openly, but it may also be hidden, in the form of irritation, resentment, loss of morale and lack of commitment. Hidden conflict is easy to miss and therefore can be particularly damaging.
Ultimately, this is likely to have an adverse effect on team and company performance, costing time and money.
It is therefore vital to manage conflict constructively.
As a team member and leader, your ability to deal with and resolve conflicts defines your success in the longer term.
Our one day workshop in Conflict Management and Communication Skills immerses you in the most advanced conflict management tools, strategies and practices applicable today.

Each module has been carefully selected based on the intake and skills gaps of the specific audience. After a brief introduction, participants are given 1 to 2 minutes to introduce themselves, practicing their presentation and communication skills (if the intake has included the requested video, this introduction will only be 1 minute).

At the end of this course, you will be able to:

She is currently looking for literary fiction, edgy commercial fiction, psychological thrillers and high-concept contemporary young adult, as well as narrative non-fiction of all types. Her taste is quite dark, and she loves gothic, ghost stories, horror and anything sinister. She also loves books that make her cry, from big love stories to intense family dramas. She is open to historical or horror YA, but not magical or fantasy.&nbsp;<p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; color: var(--text); font-family: sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;" fr-original-style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; color: var(--text); font-family: sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">Meditative or moving novels about modern life, appeal to Laura, sad stories with love and the importance of caring for each other shining through. She also loves stories about female friendships or conversely groups of women who don&#39;t get on, such as the hugely fun BAD SUMMER PEOPLE by Emma Rosenblum. She is always on the lookout for a big tragic love story to make her cry happy or sad tears.  At the more commercial end of fiction, think funny novels with warmth and romantic comedies with a bit of depth &ndash; think Marian Keyes.<p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; color: var(--text); font-family: sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;" fr-original-style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; color: var(--text); font-family: sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">Most of all Laura is looking for novels she hasn&rsquo;t read before &ndash; something unusual structurally or thematically, something that shines a light on a subject the author is passionate about, something that&rsquo;ll break her heart or raise her blood in an entirely new way.

LOOKING FOR: ADULT FICTION / NON-FICTION

Upon joining Curtis Brown in 2018, Ciara Finan worked with senior agents Jonny Geller and Sheila Crowley on their lists of bestselling and prize-winning authors such as Lisa Jewell, Susanna Clarke, David Nicholls, Jojo Moyes and Nigella Lawson. Now as an agent she is representing a wide range of fiction and non-fiction writers.

Ciara would consider her reading tastes to be quite broad and ever-growing, but is constantly drawn to books that have a decisive voice, unforgettable characters, an unexpected story, or can subvert and reconstruct the conventional narratives of love, friendship, family, loss and coming-of-age. In particular, she is looking for Adult and YA fantasy and romantasy, rom-coms and book club romance.

In the wider fantasy genre, Ciara is keen on finding romantasy, cozy fantasy, dark/light academia, and anything with political intrigue. She seeks novels that will keep her reading into the early hours of the morning. She wants to be consumed by the world, the plot and the characters. Think authors like Leigh Bardugo, Tamsyn Muir, R.F. Kuang, Sangu Mandanna, Hannah Nicole Maehrer, Deborah Harkness, Chloe Gong, Ava Reid or Sabaa Tahir.

In romcoms and romance, Ciara is looking for something that explores the complicated nature of romantic relationships - think Seven Days in June by Tia Williams, The Dead Romantics by Ashley Poston or anything by Taylor Jenkins Reid. She would love to find a brilliantly witty workplace romance or anything that will leave her in tears.

Ciara would like you to submit a covering letter, 1 -2 page synopsis and the first 5,000 words of your completed manuscript in a single word document.

(In addition to the paid sessions, Ciara is kindly offering one free session for low income/under-represented writers. Please email agent121@iaminprint.co.uk to apply, outlining your case for this option which is offered at the discretion of I Am In Print). 

By booking you understand you need to conduct an internet connection test with I Am In Print prior to the event. You also agree to email your material in one document to reach I Am In Print by the stated submission deadline and note that I Am In Print take no responsibility for the advice received during your agent meeting.

FranklinCovey&rsquo;s The 4 Disciplines of Execution&reg;&nbsp;(4DX) methodology provides the framework for organisations&nbsp;seeking to increase strategic execution by creating a culture of high performance.<h2 style="color: rgb(16, 24, 32); box-sizing: border-box;" id="isPasted" fr-original-style=" color: rgb(16, 24, 32);">Discipline 1: Focus on the Wildly Important</h2>This is the discipline of&nbsp;focus.&nbsp;Exceptional execution starts with narrowing the focus&mdash;clearly identifying what must be done. Otherwise, nothing else you achieve really matters much.<h2 style="color: rgb(16, 24, 32); box-sizing: border-box;" id="isPasted" fr-original-style=" color: rgb(16, 24, 32);">Discipline 2: Act on the Lead Measures</h2>This is the discipline of&nbsp;leverage. 80% of your results will come from 20% of your activities; are you focusing on the right ones? Discipline 2 is based on the principle that not all actions are created equal. Identify and act on the activities with the highest leverage.<h2 style="color: rgb(16, 24, 32); box-sizing: border-box;" id="isPasted" fr-original-style=" color: rgb(16, 24, 32);">Discipline 3: Keep a Compelling Scoreboard</h2>This is the discipline of&nbsp;engagement. People and teams play differently when they are keeping score, and the right kind of scoreboards motivate the players to win.<h2 style="color: rgb(16, 24, 32); box-sizing: border-box;" id="isPasted" fr-original-style=" color: rgb(16, 24, 32);">Discipline 4: Create a Cadence of Accountability</h2>This is the discipline of&nbsp;accountability. Each team engages in a simple weekly process that highlights successes, analyses failures, and course-corrects as necessary, creating the ultimate performance-management system. The Noble Experience This autumn we&#39;re road testing the 4DX methodology with members of the NLG and their teams from within the Poultry business unit. Real life successes, realistic roadblocks and issues, and a genuine appraisal of the outcomes, will all be shared with participants at the 2024 4DX sessions, as we strive to learn the best practices that enable us to go beyond a good strategy, to achieving great levels of execution!Delivery of the 4DX sessionsThe 4 NLG groups will attend a one-day, in person module, where we&#39;ll share the 4DX methodology with you and hear directly from Richard Wood, MD of the Poultry business, as to how the approach has helped him and his team to delivery their objectives.<img src="https://images.cademy.co.uk/noble-foods/7f22d13e-e7fe-43bb-ad22-a5dbd09dcb21/original.png" style="width: 698px; display: block; vertical-align: top; margin: 5px auto; text-align: center; cursor: auto; padding: 0px 1px; -webkit-user-select: none; max-width: 100%; position: relative; box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style="width: 698px; display: block; vertical-align: top; margin: 5px auto; text-align: center; cursor: auto;" fr-original-class="fr-draggable">

What important conversations are your team members avoiding?

Side-stepping difficult conversations can trap a team in unresolved problems, strained relationships, and missed chances for growth, which blocks progress and cultivates a lack of trust.
But many people avoid difficult conversations or handle them poorly because they’re afraid to address uncomfortable issues and feel unprepared to respond to the emotional reactions that inevitably arise.
Navigating Difficult Conversations: Turn Tension Into Progress takes a targeted approach to helping people to manage emotional tension and conduct conversations in a way that enables all parties to stay engaged in collaborative dialogue.
Participants will shift their mindset from fearing and avoiding difficult conversations to seeing them as the way to make progress on important issues. And they’ll develop the skills to build trust and respect in every relationship as they navigate sensitive topics.


Who Should Attend?
This programme is for anyone who finds the thought if having a challenging or difficult conversation, something to be very nervous of, even to the point of avoiding the issue.
We recommend that participants have first attended our Aspire programmes, Management Essentials and Performance Coaching, as they provide a strong foundation to the topic, which this session then builds upon.
In Navigating Difficult Conversations participants will discover how to balance Courage and Consideration throughout the conversation by:
Sharing their Purpose—the issue they need to make progress on—and Positive Intent—how they want the other person to benefit from the conversation
Responding to emotional reactions using the skills:
Pause, Don’t Panic
Observe, Don’t Judge
Ask, Don’t Assume
Outcomes
This module will help participants:
Create a strong foundation for difficult conversations by setting a clear and collaborative tone that balances their own and others’ needs.
Understand that emotional reactions are a natural, human response—and notice them as a signal that the conversation needs an adjustment to stay on track.
Practice a range of tactics to respond in the moment to help everyone stay engaged and make progress.
