Here is a quick exercise:
Put together some PowerPoint slides about your company, your clients, the year you commenced business and your strategic direction. Now show it to your employees and note them drifting in and out of consciousness. They will be bored and uninspired.
As an alternative, tell a story about your company, why it was set up, the difficulties it faced, where the organisational values came from. Use a story board to show the reasoning behind your strategic objectives. Your audience will be engaged and motivated to get behind your strategic objectives.
There are 14 proven rules to telling great stories. To whet your appetite, we’ve listed 3 of the rules:
Rule #5 – Create visual metaphors. Strong visual metaphors used in the right sequence can keep any audience on the edge of their seat (no matter what the topic is).
Rule #8 – Build rapport and trust. Most managers are aware of the critical importance of rapport and trust. However, very few managers have a tool kit of practical ideas to build rapport and gain trust.
Rule #10 – Embed emotional triggers and cues – this part of story telling is not for the faint-hearted. The storyteller needs to dig deep to bring out emotive cues to connect deeply with the audience. The emotional cues and triggers need to be planned and strategically placed into the story for maximum impact.
For maximum effectiveness, this program is best conducted as an in-house program.

Do some of your people wriggle away from doing tasks? A chain is only as strong as the weakest link, and if the weakest link doesn’t want to pull their weight, it can seriously impact productivity. Workplace behavioural studies concur that some people deliberately misunderstand instructions to avoid completing tasks. You might know the occasional maestro that misunderstands any instruction. That’s where accountability training becomes essential—helping teams build a culture of ownership and ensuring every member contributes consistently.
Faced with this situation, it’s easy to take the path of least resistance. Don’t request from the maestro any tasks, and use the rest of the team to fill in. Or take away all excuses for not completing the tasks. Keep everyone accountable and eliminate the wriggle room. Of course, some reports and peers will still not do what’s instructed. But that will now become a performance management issue rather than an “Oh is that what you meant?” misinterpretation.
It’s also important to explore if your instructions are really clear. Your instructions may be as clear as crystal in your mind and clear as mud at the other end. In this breakthrough course, you’ll learn to give instruction and deadlines that cannot be wriggled out of.

This course was designed by an organisational psychologist to give managers and supervisors proven skills to manage staff who they will frequently bump into outside of work. By following this proven methodology, participants will feel more secure managing at work and simultaneously enjoying the benefits of working in a close-knit community. It doesn’t have to be manage OR enjoy being part of the community. It can be manage AND enjoy being part of the community.
This course will also take participants through likely scenarios that they will face. Participants will question their assumptions and also explore any unconscious biases that they may have. At the conclusion of the course, participants will be far more confident in their role as a manager in a regional area.
As one participant stated:
“Employment is a major problem in regional communities. Being a manager can be a privilege and a burden. But my role as manager is very important so I can look after my family. I’d just like to be able to separate my work role from my community role.”
This program is best conducted as in-house training at your offices.

Each participant completes a confidential online pre and post training 360 survey. Participant selects up to 6 raters, a mixture of direct reports, line managers and colleagues. The 360 feedback will form the basis for tailored development and one on one coaching.
Each participant will receive one on one coaching (and survey debriefing) before the leadership training commences. This preps the participants for the training delivery.
Between the workshops, some project work keeps the participants engaged. For example in the above case, the participants were asked to complete a behavioral style survey between day one and two. Participants also had some change leadership reading before Day 3 and a group project to be completed for Day 4
