We have found that if you want to change some aspect of the way your
staff or managers go about their work, it is often not enough
to simply offer them tools and techniques (although providing them
with clear guidelines and frameworks is still important).
Change and improvement will often only endure when there is an accompanying
shift in the person’s thinking and outlook. Hence, participants
in our workshops are encouraged to question some of the beliefs, attitudes
and assumptions that actually underlie the way they work with others
and perform their roles.
Our trainers are characterized by a lively presentation style; however
they also share an ability to create a safe space for participants
to do some honest self-reflection – a crucial component of the
change process for an individual is for themselves to come to the conclusion
that there is room for improvement in what they are doing, and that
there are evident benefits in trying something different.
Hence, the way we approach the facilitation of learning and behaviour
change is as much an art, as it is a science.
