Thrive!

According to research by DDI, people need the following qualities to thrive and contribute according to their potential in the new world of work:

• Adaptability: Openness to new ideas and experiences
• Achievement orientation: A need for continuous growth and the motivation to take ownership of own development, pushing oneself to achieve,
• Self-efficacy: Confidence in own ability to succeed and handle challenges
• Emotional maturity: EQ
• Positive disposition and connection: The ability to build and maintain constructive working relationships and get along with people
• Attraction to work: Maintaining a positive view of one’s job in spite of periods of stress & frustration

These qualities – all related to personal mastery and interpersonal effectiveness - are not automatically acquired with age. Nor are they developed through technical or job related training. It is therefore no surprise that they are not sufficiently developed in many people.

When this foundation is not strong enough, the risk exists that cracks appear when people are under pressure, have to deal with change, work closely with other people, or move into a leadership position where they have to manage themselves and others effectively.

Thrive! has been designed to develop the attitudes, knowledge and skills required to effectively manage self and work with others. This enables people to be their best and give their best, not only in their personal lives, but also to their work, their colleagues and their organisation.

This programme complements 4 C Leadership and Helping People Grow, FTG’s coaching and leadership programme by increasing the readiness of coachees to accept coaching as a valuable tool in their personal and career growth. It also provides them with the practical skills to utilise the coaching opportunities in a meaningful manner and so become active partners in the process, maximising the impact of the coaching.

Modular approach

You are free to choose any of the modules that a specific group requires, but we strongly recommend including Personal Leadership as the foundation.

Duration

Between two (for Personal Leadership as a stand-alone programme) and five days for the complete course. Clients who choose more than three days often prefer to present the programme as a process of growth at the pace of one or two modules per month over consecutive months. This allows opportunity to apply what has been learned between sessions.

Group size

Ideally 16, but a maximum of 20 participants per worshop.
