Welcome to Impactful Change Leadership!

This wonderful programme is designed to support leaders be successful at leading change. To be the change makers that support their team to succeed and thrive throughout a time of change, and to deliver change for their customers that enhances their experience of your service.

Often, we find ourselves having to make changes with the way we approach or do things in our work. That often doesn't sit well with others, whether that is customers or colleagues. This programme has been created to support leaders bring the best of their leadership qualities to the table to navigate the choppy waters of managing and leading change.
Leadership requires a lot of self-reflection. Being aware of different leadership styles will support our ability to bring the required leadership skills to the table when required. Knowing our teams strengths and weaknesses also allows us to best use our skillset to enhance the process of change.

Teams look to leaders to fix issues for them. They look to leaders to make things great for them, but they often blame leaders when things don't go well, or when we go through a process of change.
This programme will help you manage yourself as a leader. It will share with you tips, tricks, theory and tools to keep you on your A game during the process of leading change

The aims of Impactful Change Maker are:

1. To nurture participants' self-assurance in key processes and practices associated with guiding change. 2. To encourage participants to thoughtfully explore various literature and research, creating meaningful connections to inform and enrich their leadership practices. 3. To strengthen participants' capacity to guide improvement priorities, fostering a positive impact on colleagues and enhancing customer experiences. 4. To support participants in expressing their understanding of their role in change leadership, prompting reflection on how this has influenced the contributions of others in their specific context.

Impactful Change Maker is ideally run as a group programme within an organisation, or it can be delivered virtually.

The programme always has the following content:

  • Identifying our professional and personal values to support us throughout the change process.

  • Identifying what our vision is and how we can share that with our teams.

  • Emersing ourselves in the varying theories of change and identifying our own preferred models.

  • Identifying the different leadership styles and those that work best in difference contexts.

  • Valuing the importance of relationships and being actively mindful our our own unconscious bias and how this impacts on our relationships and decision making.

  • How we support the wellbeing of our teams without taking on their monkeys.

  • How emotionally intelligent are we and how can we develop that at work.

  • Knowing it's okay to not know it all! Using our strengths and skills of our team members is the only way!

  • Gathering the impact of evidence throughout the change process - what's helpful and what's not.
