Manager as Coach: Teams & Teaming in Turbulent Times
2025-03-10 09:30 - 11:30 UTC
This interactive workshop is aimed at managers at all levels and roles, and those aspiring to their first management role. Join us to gain insight and skills in understanding and responding to shifting team dynamics.
Most managers have found themselves leading a team through periods of change and uncertainty; it can be challenging feeling that as the manager you are the person with all the answers. Creating a sense of shared endeavor is essential, but can be difficult to achieve.
Developing this leadership skill can support you in empowering and engaging your teams though relationships grounded in trust. If you recognise the need to support your team through change, and to develop your skills in increasing engagement, this workshop could be for you.
This session will explore:
The lifecycle of teams
Teams and teaming
The impact of change & uncertainty
Finding “the best of what is” within the team
NB: This workshop is focused on the leadership skill set and is not positioned as coach training, or as coaching CPD. However, practicing coaches are welcome to attend.

Exploring Organisational Culture Series: Are Your People Thriving or Surviving?
2025-03-19 12:00 - 13:30 | Virtual
Organisational culture can be defined as the values, beliefs, attitudes, systems, and rules that boundary and influence behaviours and responses within an organisation. The culture reflects how staff, customers and stakeholders experience an organisation and the services offered.
The NHS People Promise establishes the vision of how the NHS can feel for all of its staff, and making this a reality requires equal focus on “how are we doing doing” and “what are we doing”.
“We want our culture to be positive, compassionate, and inclusive – and we all have our part to play” NHS People Promise
Join us to consider your leadership and management responses can positively impact your own work area by exploring:

Factors influencing how staff can be supported to feel engaged in their work. Only 10% are engaged at work (meaning 90% are either disengaged or actively disengaged).
Factors influencing stress responses (40% of staff report experiencing daily stress).
What can Leaders and Managers do to positively impact this?
