Leadership Skills Training

Leaders make things happen

At Impact Factory we develop people’s Leadership Skills so they have the confidence and authority to make a real difference in their organisations.

Leadership is one of those things that's often awfully hard to define but you know when you see it, and you definitely know when it's missing.

You may have some people who now have to 'step up to the plate' and take on far more of a leadership role than previously. You may need them to demonstrate the kind of leadership behaviours that others aspire to.

There may be managers who have to take the next step and go beyond being good or even excellent managers, to become inspirational leaders within the business.

Your company may be planning or undergoing big changes and need people to ensure those changes are made as smoothly and as anxiety free as is possible. Good leaders can help do this.

If you have members of your organisation ready for promotion (or perhaps you are even creating new roles) then, they, too, have to understand what the next level of leadership means for them.

Leadership Training Objectives

• Understanding good Leadership Behaviours
• Learning the difference between Leadership and Management
• Gaining insight into your Patterns, Beliefs and Rules
• Defining Qualities and Strengths
• Determining how well you Perceive what's going on around you
• Polishing Interpersonal Skills and Communication Skills
• Learning about Commitment and How to Move Things Forward
• Making Key Decisions
• Handling Your and Other People's Stress
• Empowering, Motivating and Inspiring Others
• Leading by Example

So what exactly is a leader?

Our approach is to run leadership programmes where natural leaders can develop the skill and insight to become great ones. And where fledgling leaders learn to lead with flair and authenticity.

Our Leadership Development and Training programmes push each and every delegate to gain a rigorous personal insight into what makes them tick and then, with that understanding of themselves, to stretch their ‘comfort zones’ into new and challenging territory.

Coupled with this we focus on their ability to see what's going on. This is the one essential quality that anyone in any position of leadership must develop. Whether you're running a company, running a church fete or running a home, you can't excel unless you can see things from all points of view.

Once you develop your ‘seeing’ skills then you develop the skills that make things happen, get things unstuck, move things forward. You can look at creating a vision, motivating and inspiring others, setting clear agendas and supporting those who need to help make your vision become a reality.
