Looking for solutions
1 day

Workshop outline
As individuals and teams are expected to achieve ever-greater levels of productivity in an environment of constant change, this workshop teaches you to focus on how to get the most out of your existing resources and assets. Using knowledge from the disciplines of psychology and science, participants explore what works at work and how they can get better results by not working harder… but differently.
Participants gain practical knowledge and the tools to:

Instantly change the direction of energy-draining meetings
Take an alternative approach to traditional problem-solving
Keep themselves focused on seeing solutions to practical work situations
Motivate those around them to see solutions and not just problems

Who should attend?
Anyone seeking to make the most of their existing teams, resources and time.

Learning method
This is a relaxed workshop to awaken your positive side, with plenary discussions, consultant input and small group activities. Practical exercises are used so that participants can work on real issues they are currently facing at work.
