Workshop Action - Behaviour Styles for Leaders

This is the next part of the Learning Journey for the two batches of Leaders, where Behaviour (Social) styles, The Tuckman Model, and Team management were covered.  We also worked on how to make performance discussions effective and discussed how to make our teams more effective and productive.  This organization is in the field of HR outsourcing.

This was the participants first experience of a workshop where a PPT was not used.  Participants felt more engaged and enthusiastically shared their perspectives during the discussions - thus enhancing their own learning.  This was made possible through some facilitative processes and lots of simple interactive discussion questions.

Here are some pics of the action from the workshop with the HODs:

The workshops ended with participants committing to ensure that they do their best to create environments where their teams are able to perform effectively and have effective performance discussions.

How I realized I made a positive impact with my workshop

This happened to me during a recent series of Leadership Development workshops with a client, and a participant informed me that another participant would reach 30 minutes late because it was their birthday, though the company policy permitted them to stay home and celebrate with family.  Let me also mention that all the participants held work experience of 15 years to 22 years.

In my workshops over the years, I have always had participants come to me at the end of the workshop thanking me for helping them get their insights or results. This workshop too was no exception. 

But I was quite blown away by this revelation, more so, because the participant also offered me chocolates during the break and mentioned that they attended the workshop today because of me.

This gives me much confidence as a trainer and facilitator, since it tells me my workshop design met their learning needs, and my delivery approach made them want to attend the next session, even though they had a choice to take the day off.

I am extremely grateful to my mentors, clients and participants and the International Association of Facilitators who have been with me on this journey and provided these opportunities for me to perform, learn and grow.
