Description
A business or organisation is only as strong as its people. Managers play an important part in a business’ success, so it’s imperative that they have all the skills and tools they need in order to be effective managers. Part of a manager’s role is to support their team, understand their challenges and help them thrive. This is a lot easier when they have an understanding of themselves.
Our 45-minute online course helps the learner do just that. It explores two key themes – growth mindset and emotional intelligence – to provide those personal insights which will help positively shape their managerial style.
This course covers the following topics:
- Growth mindset and what it is
- Emotional intelligence and its benefits
- Understanding your own emotional intelligence
This course will help you develop expert managers in your organisation. It is not only cost-effective and high-quality (as all our courses are), but through our human centred designed, we have put the learner at the heart. It offers flexibility, allowing them to complete it at a time and pace that suits them, and with a variety of activities, challenges, videos and downloadable resources, it is guaranteed to be an engaging and meaningful learning experience.

Booking was easy the website had all the information I needed so once I booked the package I then received notification to allocate the spaces, which again was really simple to do, our staff will be doing this training on the January training day, but if they wanted to do it before they now could so for staff who work part time it's perfect.
