We often find ourselves working in fast-paced matrix environments, working in/with virtual teams or simply trying to get something done by someone in another part of the business. This common aspect of our working lives has a common challenge: how to influence other people to help us or do something for us, when they don't report to us. Pulling rank or strong nudging might work once, but we need to build a supportive and collaborative relationship over the long term. What Does This Course Offer? Fortunately, there are really effective tips for influencing, and our program offers an influencing model in detail. Through activity and discussion we explore how you can apply these principles and use it when you need help from other people. Even when we are not in a leadership position it can sometimes be extremely difficult to get people's help, especially when we have no authority over them. This is where an approach and an influencing model can help us identify what we and other people value in a given influencing situation. We can then explore that information so that everyone can view and pursue a common purpose. This course will enhance and promote the skill set necessary for any leader or manager, allowing our in-depth influencing knowledge to be applied into your working environment. From an employer's perspective this award can be a significant long-term return on investment by developing your leaders and managers. Our learning experiences are successful because the outcomes are quickly embedded and demonstrate an immediate visible impact on the day-to-day working environment. Our engaging learning inspires employees to want to personally add value to the companies they work for. We also offer our Paradigm Trait-Map™ online assessment and report as a frame of reference for your own influencing styles and that of others. This assessment should be completed before attending the program, and will be expanded upon during the program delivery. Course Content The Influencing for Leadership and Management course covers the following topics: Two key influencing models that you can apply back in your daily work Different types of influencing How to create the right environment for influencing Barriers you may face and how to overcome these barriers Accreditation Activity Our accredited tutors deliver training that encourages delegates to confidently and practically apply all they have learnt as soon as they get back into the business. To achieve this award, delegates need to prepare and deliver a 3 minute presentation* on the highlights of their learning and immediate application avenues when back in their working environment. *Participants will be given 30 minutes during the program to prepare for their 3 min presentation at the end of the program.

When The Party's Over: Substance use, addictions and workplace support  We use substances for all sorts of reasons—to manage stress or illness, to sleep, to unwind, to have fun, to cope. It may not always be healthy, but it often makes sense. “Substance use” spans a wide spectrum of meaning and social acceptability—and that context shapes how we judge others, and ourselves.  The word “drugs” often conjures up extremes, but the reality spans everything from your morning coffee and after work drinks, to your vape break, to prescription medications, to substances that are illegal to buy, or taboo to use. What society chooses to label as acceptable—or not—sometimes has less to do with harm, and more to do with social and cultural norms and values.  As we explore in this workshop, feelings of judgement and shame frequently perpetuate the cycle of substance addiction; so how can we successfully modify our behaviour if we can’t talk about it, or ask for help and support, especially at work?  This workshop is not a lesson about the dangers or symptoms of drug misuse, It is an engaging, thought-provoking exploration designed to increase understanding and compassion.  Workshop outline:  Reframing the drug landscape – breaking down the stigma  Challenging the misconceptions about substance use and addiction  Exploring useful strategies to support progress and prevent relapse  How to better recognise the signs of difficulty and hold empathetic conversations  Navigate self-help, peer, and professional support options for the workplace  FIND OUT MORE HERE Build your own training package At Mindmaps Wellbeing, we know that every business is unique, and no team is the same.

The working practices need to be efficient, sustainable and compatible for meeting the demands and needs of the organisation; it’s clients, it’s workforce and it’s Leaders 2. The culture needs to be welcoming, authentic and supportive otherwise there will be disenfranchisement and potentially a churn of staff and loss of talent What has been proven to be a very successful approach to mitigate the dangers of demotivated team members and poor efficiency levels is a bespoke ‘Ushering the Team Back to the Workplace’ workshop.
