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.

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 will give aspiring change agents and managers the tools required to implement changes successfully with positive acceptance throughout the organization.

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

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

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.
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

As chief talent-spotter, Clare loves to discover memorable new characters, bold and unique voices, strong concepts and gripping storytelling. She represents picture books, middle-grade, teenage and YA. Clare is particularly looking for funny chapter books for younger readers at the moment, as well as contemporary MG, YA fantasy, romance, and rom coms, especially with underrepresented protagonists. Whatever the age range, Clare loves a big hook, a lot of heart, and a standout voice. For picture books she has the widest taste, from daft to lyrical, rhyming to prose. If your submission doesn&rsquo;t fit a description here, it doesn&rsquo;t mean Clare doesn&rsquo;t want to receive it. She often doesn&rsquo;t know what she&rsquo;s looking for until she finds it (although she is not the person for steampunk or space opera).

LOOKING FOR: PICTURE BOOKS, MG, YA, ADULT FICTION

Clare Wallace joined the Darley Anderson Agency in January 2011 and is building both the Darley Anderson Children’s Agency and the Darley Anderson Illustration Agency lists as well as taking on adult fiction for debut authors. 

Clare is particularly looking for funny chapter books for younger readers at the moment, as well as contemporary MG, YA fantasy, romance, and rom coms, especially with underrepresented protagonists. For picture books she has the widest taste, from daft to lyrical, rhyming to prose. 

As well as being busy with the children’s and illustration agencies, Clare is open to debut adult fiction submissions that could be described as book club, rom-com, romance, saga, reading group, fantasy or historical fiction. She often doesn’t know what she’s looking for until she finds it (although she is not the person for steampunk or space opera). 

She represents picture books, middle-grade, teenage and YA and debut adult fiction. The clients Clare represents include Perdita & Honor Cargill, Caroline Crowe, Tom Ellen, Martyn Ford, Stewart Foster, Olivia Hope, A M Howell, Polly Ho-Yen, Rachel Ip, Beth Reekles, J.P. Rose, Lindsay Galvin, Dave Rudden, Deirdre Sullivan and Efua Traoré.
Whatever the age range, Clare loves a big hook, a lot of heart, and a standout voice.  She loves to discover memorable new characters, bold and unique voices, strong concepts and gripping storytelling. This list gives a good indication of Clare's taste but if your submission doesn’t fit a description here, it doesn’t mean Clare doesn’t want to receive it.

Clare would like you to send a covering letter, a one page synopsis and the first three chapters (Max 5000 words) of your manuscript in a single word document. For picture books, please submit a covering letter and up to three completed texts.

Please send EITHER picture books OR another genre, not both in one submission.

(In addition to the paid sessions, Clare 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.

She specialises in highly illustrated picture books and non-fiction (including poetry) for children.

She has been editor to Alan Ahlberg, Quentin Blake, Mariajo Ilustrajo, Yuval Zommer and Children’s Laureate Joseph Coelho among many others. She is the author of The Fantastical Safari and The Cat Family series, and many other books for children.

She is interested in the history of illustrated children’s books and is always looking for innovative ways to use the book format.

ABOUT YOU
Include a covering letter, in a Word document, telling Lucy about yourself and your sources of inspiration. If you have one, include a link to your website.

She has particular experience with picture books and illustrated narrative non-fiction.
