Course Overview:
According to a 1973 survey by the Sunday Times of London, 41% of people list public speaking as their biggest fear.

This workshop/course introduces people (of any industry or position) to Emotional Intelligence (EI).
We ask you to complete a short EI self-assessment questionnaire to take away and use for your personal development.
We then introduce the ingredients of EI and chat about why they are essential, what they aim to achieve, and why they are critical to “clean” communication across the whole organisation.
We ask you to consider our Moccasin Approach® and our EI Tree® and why they are tools for the future success of internal and external communication.
We link EI to organisational culture and the inherent responsibility we all have to make our workplace culture the type that retains our people, attracts great people to join our organisation, and is a culture that we are proud to talk about because it is truly lived (not just a flag-waving exercise). 
We look at Empathy, how it works, why it is different from sympathy, and how we must all use it in our daily communication with others.
We discuss how personal styles and preferences (even bias) are critical to everyday communication.
We examine the word trust and discuss its meaning, how we can gain and maintain it, and why consistency is one of our favourite words regarding the element of trust.
We ask you to consider our thinking around 'Change Champions' and Best Practice Managers' to help create high-performing teams and cross-team collaboration and support. 



LENGTH - For more information about duration, please get in touch with us to discuss your specific needs, or we can offer advice.  
NEXT WORKSHOP START - Please ask for more information as we deliver bespoke closed events for your people at your location or a mutually suitable location.
WORKSHOP DELIVERY - The best environment for this workshop is face-to-face, but we can facilitate this workshop online.



Suitability - Who should attend?
Who? 
Everyone you employ, including your associate or external consultants.
Why? 
Every person needs to understand how EI works, what it takes to get it right, why it is essential and how it helps anyone develop new, better and more meaningful relationships.
The ultimate goal of EI is to create the best possible working relationships and Psychological Safety so that we can communicate "cleanly" without worrying about getting in trouble for sharing our thoughts and opinions.
By the way, EI is just as powerful at home, socially, and with our children. We can add Socratic questions to the mix to help us impact others' thinking.

Content
'Belief creates reality' and 'Creating reality out of possibility.'
The EI Tree®
Values, behaviours, ES2, and creating saboteurs!
How our Moccasin Approach® thinking helps us understand the world of others and cater for differences.
Our ARCHWAY Approach® thinking around Responsibility - Accountability – Duty of Care.
EI Self-assessment - The ingredients of EI.
The empathy stool and the types of empathy.
EI and how it helps 'Change Champions' and 'BPM’s'
Reflections, thoughts, findings and goals (individual and team).
Workshop delivery and venue
This Workshop is usually one day in duration but can be a two-day event with group and individual case study work to allow discussions about the various thoughts we all have about EI.
When you consider the content we deliver, we are sure you will understand why we always prefer to deliver our workshops, courses and programmes face-to-face.
Face-to-face workshops and courses can be held at a location of your choice or, if you wish, a central UK location such as the Macdonald Burlington Hotel in Birmingham, located directly across from the Birmingham New Street train station.
We can deliver our workshops, courses and programmes online, although this will mean splitting elements into manageable learning events to suit the online environment.

“Change is the only constant” – Heraclitus, a Greek philosopher

Why Change Management?

According to Harvard Business Review, 70% of all change initiatives fail. Another study by Towers Watson found that only 25% of change management actions are successful over the long term. All around us, technologies, processes, people, ideas and methods are continuously evolving, affecting the way organizations run their operations.

Developing effective change management skills then becomes not only inevitable, but also critical in today’s dynamic professional world as organizational change becomes more of a norm than an exception.

The Leading Change Management program is designed to promote excellence in the management of change by introducing participants to the skills required at each step of the change process.

Built on the latest research and practice in North America, this program develops, challenges and inspires leaders to lead successful and rewarding organizational change initiatives.

The concepts and methods learned are immediately usable in the workplace, leading to faster implementation of change projects that achieve and sustain concrete results.

Learning Objectives:

To introduce the step by step change management process and the range of tools and methods available to address change challenges and problems
To provide insight on relevant, practical and applicable change management skills and equip participants to effectively engage with change processes in the workplace
To improve awareness and confidence for using change management tools and models required to design appropriate change plans for the workplace

Agenda:

The Nature of Change
Drivers of Change
Vision and Mission of Change
Eight Steps to Effective Change Management
Change Strategies
Change Resistance

Most people have heard the claims by writers such as Daniel Goleman, who stated ‘it matters twice as much as IQ’ (Goleman, 1998) or that EI and good communication skills are ‘positively related’ (Erigüç & Köse, 2013). A meta‐analysis, also published in 2010, found a positive and significant correlation with job performance (O’Boyle et al, 2010).
It has also been strongly argued that EI can improve sales, communication and improve leadership and work‐performance (Pratt et al, 2003).
EI is about being aware of emotions in yourself and others, and being able to manage those emotions.
This course will cover topics such as; Understanding your personality style, giving feedback to others, dealing with ‘difficult’ people, removing the barriers to communication, cross‐cultural communication and the science of body‐language.

LOOKING FOR: ADULT FICTION

Marilia Savvides founded The Plot Agency in 2024. She began her career in publishing at Peters Fraser and Dunlop, where she spent eight years, first as International Rights Agent, and later as Literary Agent, building her own list of authors. In 2019, she joined 42MP, where she worked as Literary Agent for four years, helping to launch and set up the Book Division.

She is particularly interested in fiction that is beautifully written and cleverly constructed, but still accessible to a wide readership. She is often drawn to darker tales that weave together excellent characters and an impossible-to-put-down story, from immersive book club novels with a splash of suspense, crime and thrillers, accessible horror, and speculative, genre-bending or dystopian stories. She also adores smart, witty contemporary rom-com in the style of Emily Henry.

In the thriller, crime and mystery space she is interested in most areas, except military thrillers and organised crime/ mafia / mob stories. Big hooks and clever set ups are a big bonus! She adores Karin Slaughter (especially her standalone novels) and Gillian Flynn.
In the book club / reading group space, she’s particularly drawn to fiction in the vein of Jodi Picoult, Liane Moriarty and Celeste Ng, and absolutely fell in love with Bright Young Women by Jessica Knoll, both for the incredible voice, and the exquisite use of structure and time. Complicated family dynamics, empathetic and smart approaches to controversial issues, stand out protagonists (like Elizabeth Zott in Lessons in Chemistry or Bernadette in Where D’You Go Bernadette), long buried secrets, complicity, the road to justice, and impossible decisions, are all themes she finds herself drawn to.

In the horror space, she’s a sucker for amazing female-centric stories in the vein of Yellowjackets, and the kind of contemporary, accessible horror that Stephen King always nails. She wants to get lost in a world that feels within reach of ours. In the speculative and dystopian spaces, she’s interested in genius ideas that set up big questions or reflect the most broken (and sometimes hidden) parts of society. She loves Octavia Butler, Margaret Atwood, George Orwell, and also adored The Leftovers, Station Eleven, Wanderers, and The Power. The what-ifs of life and fiction fascinate her. In the grounded sci-fi space, she’d love to find a smart, immersive, and accessible story like The Martian.

She doesn’t represent fantasy or romantasy. In regards to sci-fi, unless it’s very grounded and has crossover potential to a mainstream audience, it’s not for her.
In the romance space, she’s particularly drawn to smart, complex and witty characters, where the chemistry is jumping off the page. She loves contemporary settings and all the tropes, though the voice and characters must come first to make the reading experience fully immersive. She wants to be cackling, and rooting for the characters with all her heart.

She is very hands-on editorially, and loves working with her authors to shape their manuscripts, and brainstorm ideas. The best part of the job is discovering debut authors, and helping them find a home for their books.

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

(In addition to the paid sessions, Marilia is kindly offering one free session for low income/underrepresented 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.
