The Effective People Manager
Time and time again technical experts are promoted to management roles without the ability to effectively manage people, whether those people are superiors, peers or subordinates. An effective manager must be able to get the very best out of their team and those they interact with on a daily basis.
This incredible three-day programme gives delegates the ability to do just that; get the best of out of their teams in a productive, professional, commercial and long lasting way. There are three main aspects to this programme
- pre-programme profiling and support
- three one-day workshops that are fun, interactive and very inspirational, and
- post-programme support and mentoring to ensure the knowledge, skills and behaviours developed over the programme are implemented easily back in the workplace.
This programme has been enhanced over many many years and is, we believe, one of the best programmes of its type today. Some of the tools and techniques we have adopted into this programme include Strengthfinder, Belbin team role preferences, emotional intelligence, psychology of motivation, advanced communication tools, how to use various management and leadership styles effectively and the pitchblue model for dynamic and powerful delegation.
Aimed at junior to middle managers, this exceptional programme has been created to show a immediate return on your investment.

Fast-track Stress Management
Stress is based on our response to perception – how we personally perceive a situation.
So if we can control our perceptions, we can control our levels of stress.
Stress in the workplace can be triggered by a range of factors, such as poor communication, lack of commitment, constant or tough deadlines, peer pressure, new jobs and untrained staff, personal problems, noise…. the list could go on an on.
This enlightening and interesting one day workshop is a 'must have' for all managers who are keen to create and maintain a harmonious and productive work environment.

The Business Coach and Mentor
Coaching is one of the fastest growing professions today; it's used by people engaged in human development and is more and more often recognised as a catalyst to achieving results.
Are you looking to be an even more effective people manager, or are you interested in establishing yourself in business as a coach? Maybe you just like the sound of coaching people?
Coaching and mentoring is a skill; it is hugely rewarding and can create unprecedented positive change in people and in their successes, their ways of life, their businesses and their relationships with people. Our programme is fully certified and accredited by the Chartered Management Institute and upon successful completion of the course you will be awarded two certificates; a "Certificate In NLP Coaching" and also a "Level 5 Award in Management Coaching and Mentoring" from the Chartered Management Institute itself.
We will be including a range of profiling including the Strengths Deployment Inventory and Myers Briggs Type Inventory to help you develop your own self-understanding.

Health and Safety Management
Health and safety are key business considerations that every company has a legal obligation to manage. It is significantly more than a 'nice to have' or a moral obligation to look after your staff and your customers.
Safety management is one of those areas that we often neglect until a situation arises where we have little or no choice but to take action, and often to take action quickly. The ability to promote a safe and healthy working environment by creating, implementing and managing a simple health and safety framework allows a business to consistently identify and control its health and safety risks, reduce the potential for accidents, aid legislative compliance and improve overall business productivity.
Safety management takes into account many many areas, and this competency can generally be broken down into five main areas:
- Health and safety management systems
- Creating a health and safety culture
- Workplace and work equipment hazards
- Hazardous substances and health hazards
- Legislation and legal compliance
This 3-day programme covers all of these topics and more and as you also receive (once you have successfully completed a short multiple-choice question paper) a CIEH Level 3 Certificate In Health and Safety In The Workplace, this really is an essential course for all managers to attend.
If you are interested in having this programme run in your company, please contact one of the pitchblue team for more details.
