Alistair Russell and Sandra Goddard are providing a workshop on spiritually founded coaching skills for managers and owners from 5pm Tues 2 to 5pm Wed 3 November at Charney Manor, near Oxford. The workshop will help you recognise opportunities to coach in the maelstrom of daily working life and grab them. The workshop should enable you to: develop your team to enable you to delegate more; help your colleagues to recognise the resources they can bring to problem solving rather than being stuck with the problem; support your colleagues in thinking through difficulties; challenge your team to see issues from different perspectives and enable them to address them in new successful ways. The workshop will be highly interactive with a variety of exercises to support integration of your learning and its practical application. I am confident that you will have a productive and fun learning experience.
Download the full programme here. To book see the blue panel above.

“Cleaning up politics is a necessary precondition for effective corporate governance reform and for subordinating the business agenda to broader social needs . . . "They buy places at Labour’s “high plate” party dinners, governmental advisory committees, task forces, and Think Tanks, and contributions to party funds facilitate titles, contracts and jobs for those who make them. In return, New Labour, like the Conservatives, defers to the donors. . . “Despite numerous audit failures, the ‘colonisation’ of senior civil servants, current and former ministers has enabled them to escape effective regulation and retribution. The colonised include Peter Mandelson . . . “Proposals made in this monograph are intended to ensure that corporations are brought under democratic control and the institutions of democracy are reinvigorated.” |
