Workshop details:
The 2-day workshop will provide you with a set of Thinking Frameworks and tools to enable you to improve the quality of conversations you have. These exist at 3 levels:
- SELF – Helping you to stretch your own thinking
- 1:1s – Influencing the thinking and behaviour of a team member or colleague
- TEAM – Influencing conversations with many others (e.g. meetings, projects)
In outline:
Day 1 will be introducing you to the Go M.A.D. tools, and Day 2 will be your opportunity to apply them to your own issues and consider how you will use them following the workshop (either individually or collectively).
At the end of these 2 days, we will each share our thinking about how the learning will be applied over a 60-day period to “Make a Difference”. This can be based on individual issues, or you can pair up or form a small group if it makes sense to work on collective projects or initiatives.
