Game-changing management & leadership training.

Our unique programmes drive participant engagement and capture evidence & data ensuring that your investment is never wasted.
Are you concerned about committing a large chunk of your budget on management training that may well get great feedback but will, in all likelihood, not provide any long term tangible results? If so, don’t worry – we can help!  Here’s how….

How we do it

Combining a highly engaging, practical delivery style with our learning transfer platform – PROMOTE, we not only provide participants with the very best learning experience but just as importantly, we also give stakeholders a unique understanding of the impact of the training.

What it does

PROMOTE not only drives participant engagement but even more importantly, it captures exactly which newly learnt skills are being applied on a daily basis, as well as their wider impact.

What we do

We design, deliver and measure modular management and leadership programmes.  Working with new managers right through to senior leadership teams, our focus is on equipping the participants with practical tools and positive habits that are easy to implement and will deliver immediate results. Take a look at some of our most popular programmes:

1-2-1 Management & Coaching

Suitable for: Anyone in need of personalised 121 support to help maximise their potential.

We fully recognise that some development needs require a unique, highly distinct approach that cannot be addressed effectively by traditional training courses.  This may be down to the experience level of the individual, the sensitive nature of their challenges or simply, just how busy they are. Phoenix are highly skilled at first understanding the objectives and then creating a personalised, blended development plan, delivered in a flexible format that gets results.

Alternatively, if you’re looking for a fantastic introduction to the challenges of management, delivered over a few virtual modules, do take a look at our Essential Management 121 programme.

Some recent evidence we've captured....

Before the training, conflict was something I’d always try to avoid however at a recent meeting I pushed back (remembering exactly what you said about ‘ruffling feathers’) and we agreed on a small tweak rather than a major overhaul that saved the team a lot of time and effort.  What a massive learning curve!

Aspiring Leaders

Since the last session, I have adapted my leadership style and whilst I had previously let them just get on with it, it’s noticeable how much happier they are with me providing a bit more support and advice.

AS&K

Introduction to Management

What I have introduced in my 121 meetings is the change of language when giving feedback.  Rather than “that’s great” and “that could be better”, I have changed my language to reflect.. “what do we need to continue “and “what do we need to change”.  I have noticed a really positive change with my team, even when I’ve had to have a difficult conversation with any of them.

Consilient Health

First Line Managers Programme

One of my team is employed as technician, however he has the capability to develop into much more.  Using the coaching skills we explored, I have worked with him to identify a major personal goal and align it with a company requirement. This has allowed us to work on a development plan that he says is both motivational and rewarding and the company is yielding the benefit.

This month’s recommended………

It’s not just about developing others, we’re also committed to our own development. In this fast changing world, it’s important to stay relevant and in tune with current working practices. There is a lot of material out there around Leading & Managing and sometimes it can give confusing messages. Here at Phoenix we’re always keen to learn more about the latest insights, methods, techniques and theories – embracing the best one’s into our training – so you can rest assured you’re getting the very best content.

Top tips

Thinking Fast & Slow written by Daniel Kahneman

This is a fantastic book, giving huge insight into the working of the human mind.  So much we now know about behavioural economics comes from this book and Kahneman’s work.

#167 - New year, new objectives?

If you’ve agreed some new objectives for the new financial year, make sure you’ve worked out how you can track progress against those objectives. Too often objectives are set (not necessarily agreed) and then allowed to drift. Regular ‘check ins’ maintain momentum

#168 - The prospect of giving and receiving feedback

is often daunting and challenging. Forget the word feedback and just give team members some information about their performance. Make it informal and make it often.

#169 - What have you done to increase

the level of psychological safety within your team? How much have you encouraged positive challenge? How comfortable are your team members at giving and receiving feedback? How open and honest are your team members?

#170 - How are your behaviours

impacting on the environment your team members are operating within? Look at your own behaviour before you judge the behaviours of your team.

#171 - What kind of environment

are you creating for your team? Do you focus on results and process (not just results)? Do you generate an atmosphere that fosters a love of learning, passion, creativity and resourcefulness?
