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.
Course Topics:
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.

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

Creating Video For Business (Interactive Workshop)

🌿 Some stories never grow old because 

they live inside us. The myth of Orpheus 

and Eurydice is one of them—a tale of love 

and longing, descent and return. In this 

online workshop, we’ll journey into the

heart of this ancient story, not to retell it, 

but to walk it, exploring how its themes 

echo in our own lives.

The Story as a healing map

When Orpheus descends to the underworld to bring Eurydice back, he crosses the threshold between life and death, holding hope and fear in a single breath. This myth speaks to anyone who has faced loss, endings, or the fragile beauty of change. Through guided practices, rich imagery, and personal mapping, we’ll discover how these ancient pathways can help us navigate our own transitions—showing that every descent carries the seeds of renewal.

What You’ll Gain
	•	Myth as a mirror – see Orpheus and Eurydice not only as figures of legend, but as parts of your own inner landscape.
	•	Tools for navigating change – learn gentle, imaginative practices for honoring loss while welcoming new possibilities.
	•	Creative soul-mapping – trace your own journey through guided imagery and expressive exercises, creating a personal map of descent and return.
	•	A sense of connection – to an ancient wisdom tradition, to your own inner voice, and to others who walk this path.

Step into the myth. Listen for what it wants to tell you. And return with new insight, beauty, and strength.

Dear all,

I felt guided to open the space for NAMURA'S HEALING CIRCLE with the aim to create a sense of consistency, continuity and community for those who resonate with my ways of transmitting healing and guidance, starting with a series of 4 online group sessions.  

The sessions will generally follow the same format as my usual ones, starting with introducing the themes and energies that we are going to work with, continuing with the healing journey (which makes the main part of the workshop) and closing down by sharing our experience.

I will only announce the main themes of each session in the days prior to it, because I always find that it's helpful to engage with the energies that are present in the collective at the time of our work.

THE FIRST SESSION

For the first session, there's already a few well defined themes to work with and possibly more to come... there's been a lot going on lately. 

- The Power of the Void (Navigating the Eclipse Season)
- Service without Sacrifice (Releasing harmful programming)
- Opening to Receiving
- The Gift of Freedom and the Power of Love
- The True Path of the Soul (A shift in perspective)

DETAILS

All sessions will be held on Zoom, they will start at 4pm (UK Time) on Saturdays, 09.08.2025 and it will last for about 1.5 h. 
The first session will take place on Saturday, 06.09.2025, and we'll follow with 3 further ones  at 3 weeks intervals, respectively on 27.09, 11.10 and 01.11.2025.

***
For those who wish to participate but aren’t able to join live, there is the option to book and receive the recording afterwards. I’ll be also able to connect you into the energy of the session at the time of its occurrence if you so wish, in which case, please let me know by email at contact@namurasworld.com.

However I wouldn’t recommend getting connected live if you will be driving or will be engaged in any other activities that require your full focus at the time. By the same token, please make sure that you are in a quiet, relaxed and free of interferences space while you listen to the recording.

***
You will have the option to book each session individually at GBP 12, or book the block of 4 at GBP 36, which means you will get one session for free.

Please note that there will be separate Zoom links for each sessions (to accomodate those who wish to book individual sesssions) and they will become available once you've booked your place as the event's location on Cademy. 
You should also receive a booking confirmation email with the link(s) and please make sure to check your Spam folder if you haven't.
The recording will be sent exclusively to those booking the session.

***
If there's enough interest, I'm also considering opening a suport group on Signal, where people can discuss further their experiences and the themes we've been working with, and ask questions.

EFQM Performance Improvement Practitioner Course
A 2-day deep-dive workshop on RADAR and how to use it as an agile project performance framework.
The essential course for anyone wanting to learn more about the RADAR logic and how to build a continuous improvement culture and mindset across your whole organisation.
 
Who is it for?
This course is suitable for anyone who wants to understand the RADAR logic and how it can be used to make their organisation more effective.
Whilst this training is effective as a stand-alone course; it is also a Level 1 option for anyone considering one of the EFQM qualification routes as a way of progressing their management development and career.
 
Benefits
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
Explain the overall RADAR logic
Explain the main principles of positive culture and mindset for driving performance
Describe how RADAR can be implemented into an organisation to improve performance at every level
Identify how to use RADAR to drive the management agenda
Apply RADAR across day-to-day initiatives and key projects as an agile project performance framework.

RADAR logic and examples of how it can be used
Using RADAR to drive the management agenda
Using RADAR to drive strategic initiatives
Using RADAR to set up strategic KPI’s
RADAR as a Performance Improvement Framework
Case studies and group exercises
RADAR Improvement Matrix self-assessment
The training is spread over two days and is delivered in a virtual classroom setting (Zoom or Microsoft Teams), using videos, group discussions, case studies and activities in breakout rooms and presentations from the trainer.
 
Further Development
The EFQM Performance Improvement Practitioner training provides core knowledge about the RADAR Logic. In some cases, the training will have fulfilled an individual's learning needs. In many cases, the individual will want to consolidate their learning by applying the theory to a practical task. We encourage you to apply RADAR to a practical, work-based project, and we provide guidance on how to approach and complete your project. 
 
Completion of the RADAR Performance Improvement Project also allows you to progress to one of the advanced EFQM qualification programmes: EFQM Performance Improvement Leader, EFQM Assessor or EFQM Organisational Change Leader.
 
EFQM Performance Improvement Leader
If you successfully complete the EFQM Performance Improvement Practitioner training and the subsequent project, you are invited to apply for the EFQM Performance Improvement Leader assessment. You will be guided and coached by an EFQM trainer and asked to present your project to the EFQM expert panel. Here you will answer questions about how you applied the RADAR logic and principles (we provide participants with templates for running the project, as well as a high-level mid-term review). You will also receive feedback on how to improve and maximise the use of RADAR for future endeavours.
