EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE

This workshop explores the role of Emotional Intelligence in the workplace and its direct relevance in fostering the right attitude and reactions essential for successful businesses. Beginning with a self assessment to determine their current level of awareness, participants complete a variety of experiential exercises and design a tailored individualised plan to increase their EI skills. With understanding and knowledge of how to employ EI, participants are more self motivated, relating and working more effectively with others, and are better able to handle difficult situations successfully. They leave the workshop with greater trust, loyalty and commitment to the working environment.

MOTIVATION

The motivation workshop upskills individuals so they may be more effective and successful in their workplace endeavours. Participants benefit from a dual focus on both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, and how to make it work best for them. Beginning with an examination of what the  participant really wants from the workplace – through the use of goalsetting – attention is then given to building the vision. In addition to improving both the level of motivation, and awareness of how their own thinking can sabotage their performance at work, they also learn to maximize their own personal style, while being passionate about what they really contribute to the workplace.

 

CUSTOMER SERVICE SKILLS

This workshop is designed to give participants the tools to provide exceptional customer service. Through a variety of self assessment practical exercises, participants will examine their understanding of the key elements of customer service and will follow on from this to learn best practice techniques for delivering outstanding customer service. Designed to cover all types of customer services roles, the workshop culminates in the development of individual action plans to apply immediately in order to    re-inforce new skills and understandings gained. Participants return to work with a stronger customer focus.
