The development of the self: Training courses for you and your staff

If you would like to develop the skills to present to small and large groups, which is an essential attribute for managers in business today, then Maguire Training has training courses for you. Using video, this programme will equip managers with the ability to prepare thoroughly for presentations and be able to convey their message confidently and competently, involving their audience and fielding questions expertly. These training courses require that delegates should come to the course with a short presentation that they have prepared in advance, in their normal style and using their normal method.
Maguire Training can also offer development training courses for you and your staff, which involve the elements of assessments and workshops which create an innovative approach to training. Areas that will be covered in this course would include managing the human resources component of organisational change and identifying the potential and development needs of your key people in the organisation. In addition, on these training courses delegates can expect to develop corporate and departmental training plans and learn how to apply this to their everyday working lives. This course can be taken over a period of one, two or three days and it can be targeted at key skills critical for the immediate development of your organisation. Or these training courses can cover a comprehensive set of skills to assess the complete development needs of your management team.

Making the most of the time in your day

These training courses work with the main aim of this one day programme being that delegates can assess their strengths and weaknesses as time managers. This will allow them to address the important need that they may well have, for personal organisation and planning skills. During the course, the manager delegates who attend will be issued with a 'time log' questionnaire prior to attending the programme. This log will then be used on the day of the course for case study analysis for the benefit of the delegates.

Other programs for you to consider

The essential writing skills programs are designed for anyone who has the responsibility to put together written communication in any format that needs to be crisp, clear and readily understood by the recipient. The program will help to formalise the style of writing for those without previous formal training and transform over complicated and academic styles into concise, succinct and reader friendly communications.

Team Building

Why not take your team through a truly unique experience? The Challenger Learning Centres were conceived by the bereaved families of the 1986 Challenger shuttle crew as a memorial to their loved ones. Originally designed to inspire school students to learn maths and science, the centres are also available for corporate use and allow organisations to discover the parallels between space missions and normal working environments.
At the Leicester Challenger Centre we will put your managers through a fully manned space mission that will be facilitated by Maguire and trained NSC Flight Directors.

The two groups will be assigned in order to man Mission Control and the Space Station, they will be given mission objectives to achieve. They will take on specific roles such as Medical Officer, Astronaut or Probe Engineer and will receive detailed feedback on the mission after it is completed.
After a short break the Mission Control and the Space Station teams will switch roles and run a second mission following further feedback and analysis. Lunch will be served after completion of both missions. During both missions the emphasis is on co-operation, working together towards a common purpose and fun.

360-Feedback

360-Feedback is possibly the most powerful mechanism for breaking into the cycle of development and revealing an individual's key development needs. Carried out effectively a 360 can highlight previously undiscovered issues in a manner that leads to constructive development, instead of confrontation.
The key to undertaking the 360 process is total commitment and high quality feedback. All Maguire professionals possess exceptional feedback skills and are able to adapt their personal styles to ensure that every individual that undertakes a 360 is given the thorough feedback that this process demands.
We can then go on from the 360 process to construct and develop personal development plans that will enable each participant to pursue their own development goals with regular evaluation and support along the way.
