Inspirational Leadership

Provider Training Workshops

September/October/November 2007

As part of the on-going Inspirational Leadership Programme, we will be running a series of three one-day workshops in the Autumn.

The workshops will provide an in-depth understanding of how to use and interpret the new Inspirational Leadership Insight Tool and will be led by Jill Garrett and Jonathan Frank of Caret, who helped develop the Tool for the Dti. The workshops will also offer those who are interested the opportunity to become an ‘approved’ provider of the new Tool.

Inspirational Leadership Insight has been developed following in-depth research with a number of inspirational leaders, hundreds of “followers” and leading executive search consultants. The Tool enables leaders and potential leaders to quickly and easily obtain their inspirational/motivational leadership profile on-line and will then point up a number of areas for suggested practical action. Its value, however, is maximised when it is put in context by a specialist thoroughly trained in its use.

The first of three one-day workshops will take place in London on Friday, 21 September and, following on from the content of this first day, each participant will be asked to try out the Insight Tool on six people in leadership roles and then give them each appropriate feedback. They will share their learning from this exercise at the second one-day workshop on Friday, 26 October and then be fully drilled in the comprehensive utilisation of the Tool at the individual level. The third one-day workshop on Friday, 16 November, will focus on the application of the Insight Tool at the  team, as opposed to individual, level recognising the real value that can be obtained from using the Insight Tool in the Top Team context.

The workshops are targeted at corporate HR/Training staff and Leadership Coaches  who, after attending the three days, will be fully fitted to use the new Insight Tool in  a leadership training and coaching capacity.

Where relevant, ‘approved’ status will be obtained by participation in the three day programme and providing feedback to a further six leaders or potential leaders after the third one-day workshop. Each participant will be asked to provide names and e-mail addresses of those they have given feedback to at this stage and the six recipients of feedback will be asked to return evaluation forms in strict confidence, which will then form the basis for ‘approved’ status.

Places are limited and we very much hope that you will be able to attend this very worthwhile Workshop Programme.
