Leadership for Clinicians
This is a course aimed at all colleagues who have recently started the Future Leaders Programme and have not previously attended the “Leadership for Clinicians Early in Their Careers Course”. This will be an interactive, reflective day providing an understanding of clinical leadership and its role within the NHS.
Action Learning Sets
Action learning is a way of working in a small closed group in order to work on real issues, and thereby solve problems. It is aimed at developing a skilled response in the person whose issues are worked on as well as in the other members of the set.
Transforming Meetings
Ever wondered how you could keep meetings on track a bit more and actually get somewhere in with your deliberations? This workshop will introduce you to tools developed by Nancy Kline to enhance communication and help people become more effective in the workplace.
Presentation Skills
This highly practical session will enable participants to think about what presenting well means for them and their audience. Participants will have the opportunity to consider the components and purpose of an excellent presentation and how to connect with their audience.
Introduction to Coaching
This is a one-day interactive workshop and will introduce participants to the building blocks required to be an effective coach, and to a model they can use straightaway to begin to develop their own coaching skills.
Leadership in a VUCA Environment
VUCA stands for Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity and Ambiguity. It is likely we will encounter each of these in our leadership journeys. This workshop will look at frameworks to help us make sense of: Transition and change and what the difference is between them.
Personal Wellbeing
Do you notice negative emotions or stress in yourself and others? Do you care for your own well-being? Do your actions show that health and well-being are important to you? This course provides an introduction to personal wellbeing and considers how this interacts with our working lives and leadership roles.
Building Skills in Assertiveness and Saying No
This session will focus on addressing some key leadership challenges. During this interactive session, we will explore the concept of assertiveness, the difference between being assertive and other types of behaviour, and how to be more assertive in the workplace while still being 'yourself'.
Managing Imposter Syndrome
Imposter Syndrome or Phenomenon is defined as ‘a collection of feelings of inadequacy that persist despite evidence of success’. This one-day interactive workshop looks at what Imposter Syndrome is, how it gets in the way of our work, and then more importantly what tools are available to manage it.
Managing Challenging Conversations
Challenging conversations are an inevitable part of human life and of leadership. This session will explore some tools that can help you prepare for and navigate challenging conversations that you encounter and feel more confident at managing challenging conversations including giving and receiving feedback.
Listening to Understand
Listening to understand and being able to change our perspective are fundamental skills for leadership. This half day workshop will examine questions around deep listening, authenticity and change, and create a space for particiants to practice personal reflection and pairs/small group work.
Structure and Power Dynamics in Healthcare Systems
This course will be an opportunity for participants to consider the current structure of the NHS, dilemmas and tensions within the system. The course will introduce participants to rank dynamics and explore how rank dynamics affect individuals, services and systems.
