=mc uses Zoom as a virtual classroom, where the modules will take place. The platform enables high levels of participation. To take part in =mc online learning you will need access to a computer with a working microphone, speakers (or headphones) and a webcam. You’ll need to be in a quiet space with a good internet connection.

I can't make the next public dates - are there others?

Really sorry the dates don't work for you this time.

You're already part of the Advance Booking Group, meaning you'll be emailed new dates as soon as they are confirmed.

I'm interested in group training for people at our organisation

If you have 6 or more people to train it's worth getting in touch to discuss in-house options. These include:

your choice of structure – as well as choosing dates to suit you, you can also decide whether to have the content delivered full days, half-day sessions or bitesize sessions over separate days.
tailoring options – if you're looking to focus on particular elements of the programme, we can look into this.
developing internal processes – by bringing your team together, you can adapt =mc approaches to develop your internal language and time management approach. Our trainers will hold facilitated discussions to gain group commitments and agreements
self-directed learning – this enables participants to set learning goals, acquire knowledge and skills, set their own actions and evaluate themselves using a customised web portal which we'll build for you.

In order to make sure your in-house training needs are met, the best way to start this process is with a conversation (for free of course). Contact us online or call 074 3690 3103 to speak to one of our experienced consultants.

For more information on the differences between online and face to face training, visit our Learning and Development page.

At the core of the programme is a combination of contemporary management and leadership thinking and practical tools. Over four busy online sessions participants work through a series of models and frameworks to hone their leadership, support others’ development and inspire and engage their teams. It provides an opportunity for managers to reflect on, refine and deepen their management skills. In addition, there is an emphasis on using effective coaching to engage others and retain high performers. Ultimately, these skills enable participants to develop teams and individuals to to greater results in more empowering ways.

Who is the programme for?

This programme is for experienced managers who want to take their management practice to the next level. It is suited to managers looking for a way to extend and develop their skills and confidence.

If you’ve attended our Emerging Managers Programme, this is a natural next step in your development. (N.b. it’s not essential to have had prior management training with =mc).

For those interested in developing leadership skills in more depth, see the Transformational Leadership programme.

Or for a more strategic approach, see the Strategic Leadership programme.
