Tailor-made Courses

Tolerance in The Workplace – Stronger in Diversity

This program is inspired by the UAE Government initiative, 2019 – The Year of Tolerance, and explores diversity within the workplace. We aim to encourage participants to develop an improved sense of their vital roles in building the frameworks for tolerance and its continuity within their organisations. We consider how we might capitalize on our differences. Through a series of games and tasks we explore the importance of dialogue, of good communication, of building group cohesion and resilience and a commonality of purpose leading to the final exercise where participants experience the powerful impact of a diverse but cohesive team all working towards the same business win.

Storytelling for Business

Our uniquely designed storytelling workshop provides creative processes and tools to enable business people to communicate core ideas with memorable clarity and impact. We deconstruct the storytelling process to guide participants towards the successful structuring of corporate stories, presentations and pitches in an emotional, engaging and powerful way that inspires action and influences results. The program offers the skills to become dynamic storytellers, to develop an ability to bring facts and figures to life and to tell the story of the brand and business in a compelling authentic and unique manner. We also examine how storytelling skills can be woven into oral, written or social communications, from selling a new internal strategy to getting stakeholders on board.

De-stress your Workplace: Resilience and Motivation

In the ancient days of the caveman, our stress reaction was the most important instinct we human possessed … it kept us alive. The triggering of the Fight or Flight response told us to run when the Sabre Tooth Tiger attacked or turn around and fight it. Today stress takes on a different form.

The World Health Organization describes stress as the “global epidemic of the 21st Century”. From the moment we wake up till the moment we shut our eyes many of us are “connected” – answering emails, sending texts responding to the myriad demands on our time. This hyper connectedness places huge pressure on our wellbeing. However, as the pace and intensity of the modern workplace is unlikely to change it’s more important than ever to build our resilience skills in order for us to effectively navigate the challenges of working life.

In our one day workshop participants explore and develop a personal toolkit for building resilience focussing on Attitudes, Behaviours and Social Support, isolating their personal key Stress Triggers and developing coping strategies to turn Stress into an asset.
