The aim of this three-day workshop is to develop the skills needed to build and sustain productive relationships at work, using an intensive human interaction laboratory approach.
This workshop addresses the leadership behaviours of Collaboration and Communication on our Leadership Competencies Framework.
This workshop is based on a powerful training design known as a Human Interaction Laboratory. Participants work together as a group in order to interact with and receive feedback from one another in a relatively unstructured setting that has been proved to be highly effective in enhancing interpersonal skills. It is called a ‘laboratory’ because you have the opportunity to learn how others really see you, and you can then experiment with new, successful ways of interacting.
To assure an in-depth personal learning experience, this workshop is limited to nine people, each drawn from different organisations.
This workshop qualifies for NZ Trade and Enterprise’s Capability Development Voucher Scheme
