Webinar: Effective Communication for Managers and Teams

"The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place." - George Bernard Shaw

Effective communication plays a key part in engagement and team performance, and is shown to reduce stress and conflict.

When you ask teams what is needed for success, ‘good communication skills’ is one of the most popular responses.

But 69% of managers say they’re uncomfortable communicating with members of the team, and the situation is bound to be at least as bad the other way around. What’s more, 80% of our time at work is spent communicating in meetings, on the phone and via email.

Join us for this live webinar where Jo Keeler will explore how we can communicate more effectively with each other for better everyday interactions and to improve team performance.

Webinar: The top reasons why hiring decisions go wrong (and what you can do instead)

Recruitment is necessary for organisations to function and grow, but it can be difficult. Wrong decisions can be costly for a number of reasons, and can acutely impact an organisations bottom line.

To help avoid wrong decisions being made, we need to understand the reasons that can lead to them. 

In this webinar, we will be joined by Campbell Urquhart who will help us to understand why bad recruitment decisions are made, and look at tools and methodologies which can be used to support a more effective hiring process.

If you are responsible for or involved in recruitment in your organisation, then this webinar is one for you.

Webinar: Finding your authentic contribution in the age of AI

An increasingly globalised workforce, emerging technologies, societal and demographic shifts are all impacting workplaces, organisations and their teams. New challenges, as well as opportunities, are being presented as a result.

Candice will explore how Belbin can help, through building empathy and understanding, keeping teams connected to solve problems together and be better at working collaboratively, and ultimately helping teach us how to be better at being human.

Attendees will gain insights into the synergy of technology and humanity, and strategies to foster resilient, adaptable future teams.

Webinar: Belbin Team Roles: Theory and Application

Belbin is taught and used by organisations worldwide. Why?

It is a practical tool for self-development and building high-performing teams. It is based on a decade of research, studying teams to understand why the succeed or fail. And we've been refining and updating it ever since.

 

Webinar: Using Belbin to form high performing teams

Webinar: Brand you (with Belbin)

We all know what we think makes a great leader, manager, team member. We know when we meet them and the impact they have.

Once you have agreed the team objective, and you all know what it is you need to achieve, the next step is to allocate the right work to the right people.

We know that a successful team needs access to all nine Belbin Team Roles, but which of these behaviours does each team member have as a strength? Where can you best use them? Where are their weaknesses? What other talents might they be able to develop for the good of the team?
