The Workshops
Workshop one: Learn to lead… Coaching Leadership
This session will help you understand how to get past the common misconception that soft skills indicate weakness. You will learn what a coaching style of leadership is, and how to access it, harness its strength and make the soft power work for you.
The session will include participation in – or observation of – a live 30-minute coaching session based on the GROW model, and you will also take part in a hands-on coaching session/role playing exercise with your peers.

Workshop two: Use what you’ve already got… Growing a business
In our second session you will have the opportunity to participate in – or observe – a 5 C’s analysis of a business in preparation for expansion. You will also have the chance to see how Orbit or the Single Page Plan can help you prepare detailed growth plans.
Workshop three: Doing what comes naturally… Rapport building
Building and maintaining a good rapport with your team, your customers, your suppliers and the wider world is particularly important for business growth. So, in this session you will have the chance to take part in – or watch – a rapport-building exercise. You will also receive an introduction to accredited DISC personality profiling, with insights into both the administering and the interpretation of the questionnaire. You will also be provided with an overview of NLP, as a taster of what techniques are available for developing enhanced rapport.
Workshop four: Two ears and one mouth… Better Communication
Two ears and one mouth… Better Communication
Like rapport building, your communication is vital to your business success. In this final session, you will learn what great communicators do, and how they make it different. You will explore the importance of aligning words and feelings to ensure your comments are authentic and land as intended. You will also work on a resilience test, which will provide you with some concrete results to take away and develop further.
Each workshop is based on a three-hour session and includes valuable content and takeaways which you can embed into your own organisation straightaway.
The full programme of four workshops costs £700 including refreshments.

BARNHILL RETREATS
Barnhill Business Winter Retreat – 22 November 2024
If you’re a business leader working hard to improve your performance, why not come and join us for the day on Friday 22 November, to give yourself a much-needed boost to your morale and brighten your outlook for the future!
A rural idyll
This year, we will be based in the rural idyll of Llanarmon Duffryn Ceiriog. Breakfast and lunch will be served in the cosy and welcoming Hand Hotel, where there is always a blazing fire to raise your spirits. During the day we will be using the village’s Centenary Hall. This is a comfortable learning space, where we will explore what creativity can do for you when you develop the ability to use it to your advantage.
Unleashing a creative mindset
As you would expect in such a glorious and tranquil setting, we will be spending as much time as we can outside. We will be enjoying the peace, and the opportunity to indulge in activities such as painting, drawing and generally working hard to unleash a creative mindset with stimulating interactive exercises. In a nutshell, we will be strengthening your creative thinking process, which will give you and your business a valuable extra dimension, whilst you have a good dose of fun to ensure the learning is durable.
Creating a positive impact
I’ll be assisted this year by Kerry Carruthers (https://www.motifpd.com/), who has a wealth of experience in corporate training. She has mentored and coached across a diverse range of cultures, including South Africa, France, Malaysia and the UK. She also has a keen interest in Emotional Intelligence and Interpersonal Communication. Kerry relishes helping people to have fun whilst learning new skills. Together we will be working hard to ensure you enjoy the day, but also leave with some very tangible takeaways, which will have a positive impact on both your stress levels and your bottom line.
Full day: £375
