Managing Performance & Motivation

"The course was excellent especially given it was a one day course."

Ministry of Defence

Managing people successfully and an understanding of modern motivational techniques is at the heart of high performance. Effective management of performance is built utilising motivation and skill – the use of 1:1s & coaching techniques are part of this workshop’s toolkit to have difficult conversations. 

Recent studies show that performance is enhanced by managers who understand how to challenge employees constructively based on their current levels of skills to achieve ‘flow’.  Too much challenge will lead to stress and too little to boredom – both resulting in the underperformance of individuals and discontentment in the team.

This workshop will give an overview of creating high performance culture, how to motivate, coach and have effective 1:1s to enhance performance management. It will enable participants to leave the course feeling that they not only understand the topic but that they have useful tools to apply to real challenges.

  • How to create an environment of achieving maximum engagement and performance
  • How to manage others based on their willingness and capability

  • How to hold effective 1:1s to maximise performance

Who Can Attend:

Suitable for anyone responsible for managing people, this workshop focuses on understanding motivation and building trust to drive high performance.


Learning Outcomes:

  • Participants will gain an understanding of how to ensure they set the right climate for high performance.
  • Participants will have practical tools that enable them to explore performance topics such as holding effective 1:1s, coaching and and having difficult conversations.
