Effective Change Management An Interactive One Day Program

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

Program Overview:

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

Course Description:

Anyone in a position of managing or leading others will benefit from the message delivered by these managing performance training. 

This training set out to help you to manage the performance of your workforce through common sense techniques that focus on the effective use of communication and goal setting to improve productivity and increase morale and motivation. 

The session will steer away from the procedural, form-filling approach to performance management/appraisals and instead focus on the skills required to effectively cooperate with team members, develop their skills and ensure they feel incentivised to succeed. With the techniques outlined in this training course you will feel empowered to enhance the performance of your team and begin to collaborate with them to improve their behaviors and ability in their role. 
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
Cooperate with employees in order to increase productivity, morale and motivation.

Africa’s development landscape is undergoing a radical shift as global South powers redefine longstanding patterns of influence. At the forefront stands China, a transformative force whose trade and investment in Africa have soared more than tenfold in the past decade. Propelled by its "Going Global" strategy, China’s pursuit of Africa’s rich resources—minerals, oil, and more—has fueled this ascent. 
Yet its role reaches far beyond economics, with growing involvement in peacekeeping, infrastructure, and security—driven by political, economic, and security imperatives—signaling a bold new chapter in Africa’s geopolitical narrative.

Built on decades of historical ties and a shared developing-world identity, this partnership is accelerating at breakneck speed, raising urgent questions: How is China’s rise reshaping African economies, governance, and societies? What strategies are African leaders, businesses, and global players adopting in response?

This course offers a dynamic, multidisciplinary framework to address these and other questions, blending historical context, economic trends, and political analysis to illuminate China’s expanding footprint in Africa.

Course Objectives
Participants will pierce through the "Win-Win" rhetoric of China-Africa relations, critically evaluating its promises, realities, and far-reaching consequences. Through historical insights, economic scrutiny, and political perspectives, the course uncovers the strategies driving China’s foreign policy and their profound impact on Africa’s future.

Course Learning Outcomes

By the end of this 8-week journey, participants will be able to:
Trace the historical arc of China-Africa relations and its pivotal moments.
Dissect the economic and political forces shaping this partnership.
Assess the opportunities and risks China’s presence poses for African progress.
Pinpoint key areas of collaboration, from trade and infrastructure to security.
Judge whether China’s development model holds lessons for African nations.

Who Should Take This Course

BRCGS Risk Assessment (1 Day)

Master plant tinctures are sacred, natural extracts derived from powerful Amazonian plants, each carrying unique healing properties. 

Used traditionally in shamanic practices, these tinctures provide a gentle, yet profound way to heal, release emotional blockages, and restore physical vitality. 

Instructions:
1. Dosage & Absorption
Empty Stomach for Optimal Absorption: Take your tincture on an empty stomach, ideally at least 30 minutes before eating or 2 hours after your last meal. This enhances absorption and allows the plant’s energy to work more directly.
Sublingual Method (Under the Tongue): Place the recommended number of drops directly under your tongue and hold them there for about 1-2 minutes before swallowing. This method allows the plant’s essence to enter your bloodstream more quickly and efficiently.
Swallowing & Following with Water: If needed, you can follow with a sip of water or herbal tea, but avoid strong flavours that might interfere with the plant’s subtle energy.
2. Dietary Considerations
Avoid heavy, overly processed, or highly stimulating foods (e.g., caffeine, sugar, alcohol, or spicy foods) before and after taking the tincture, as they may interfere with the plant’s effects.
Simple, grounding meals such as lightly cooked vegetables, whole grains, and herbal teas, support a clearer connection to the plant.
If fasting or eating lightly while working with the tincture, listen to your body’s signals and adjust as needed.
3. Setting an Intention
Focused Approach: Working with one plant tincture for 1-2 weeks with a clear intention allows for a deeper relationship with the plant’s wisdom. Reflect on what you’re calling in whether it’s emotional healing, clarity, protection, or insight.
Intuitive Use: While structured use can be powerful, you can also work with the tincture as needed, trusting your intuition to guide you. It is safe for daily use if you feel called to it.
Journaling & Reflection: Keeping a small journal can help you track any insights, shifts, or emotions that arise during your work with the plant.
4. Adapting the Experience to You
There’s no rigid rule - some people benefit from structured, intentional work, while others find a more fluid, intuitive approach works best.
Pay attention to how your body, emotions, and energy respond. If you feel resistance or discomfort, pause and reflect on what the plant might be showing you.
Trust your own process and know that the relationship with plant medicine is deeply personal.
By approaching master plant tinctures with respect, presence, and openness, you can allow their wisdom to guide you in a way that best serves your journey. 🌿✨

1. Marosa – Pfaffia Iresinoides
Marosa is a master plant known for awakening deep self-love, beauty, and emotional sensitivity. She works on the heart, softening emotional walls and helping us to reconnect with our vulnerability. Marosa teaches us to embrace love without fear, whether it be romantic, self-love, or universal love, helping us open to deeper relationships while maintaining healthy boundaries.

On an energetic level, she harmonises feminine energy, fostering grace, sensuality, and magnetic presence. She is often used to heal wounds from past relationships, dissolve patterns of unworthiness, and enhance our ability to both give and receive love. Marosa also connects us with our inner beauty, restoring confidence and self-worth. Physically, Marosa has purifying properties, supporting the skin, reproductive system, and circulation. She helps to bring lightness to the body, washing away stagnant energy and emotional burdens that weigh us down.

2. Chiric Sanango Flower - Brunfelsia grandiflora
A powerful Master Plant and member of the nightshade family. The name Chiric means "cold," as this plant is traditionally used to remove cold from the bones, warming the body and relieving tension. It is commonly worked with to treat fevers, alleviate arthritis pain, and enhance circulation, while also being known to increase libido by stimulating vitality and flow. 

On a deeper level, Chiric Sanango penetrates the nervous and muscular systems, aligning the body's core structure and releasing stored tension. It works directly on the brain and neural pathways, facilitating a kind of neural reset that can promote trauma release, mental clarity, emotional resilience, and a renewed sense of balance.
