The Break Through Workshop

Is your team under pressure to deliver exceptional results?

Are they working below their full potential?

Driving your organisation to greater success requires taking on goals that currently seem ambitious. 

However, it’s one thing to set an audacious goal – it’s another to get your team to get engaged with it, to apply themselves and and start making meaningful progress.

People prefer to stay inside their comfort zone. When faced with a new challenge they will immediately find silent ‘reasons’ for not committing. Even if you encourage them with external rewards and incentives there is still often a gap between wanting a result and doing something about achieving it – because even motivated, capable and well-resourced people won’t achieve at their potential if there are gaps in their skills or they have limiting attitudes and beliefs. 

This workshop helps participants to replace their mental ‘road-blocks’ with more empowering new attitudes and techniques. It provides participants with a set of tools and insights to help them remove their internal barriers and so make a step change in performance. Through listening to anecdotes, and taking part in team and individual exercises, participants learn and practise the tools and mindsets to be more effective, confident and resilient as they take on their challenges.

Who is this workshop for?

• If you are about to set an audacious challenge to your team

• If you have set a challenge and progress is not as expected.

• If you want to provide staff with the tools to perform to their potential

• If you’re looking for a step change in performance

Content

The topics of this workshop follows the universal thoughts that arise when we try to take on any large challenge.

• “I can’t get started” (Overcoming procrastination)

• “It’s not going to work” (Dealing with the objections, lack of enthusiasm and commitment when taking on a large, daunting challenge)

• “What if I fail?” (How to address the worst case and reframing what failure means)

• “I don’t know how to do it” (Dealing with over and under confidence about skill levels)

• “How do I get on with these people?” (Dealing with difficult people in the team)

• “I’m never going to get there” (Dealing with setbacks and adversity)

Using my own experience of getting off the couch to take on and win the trans-Atlantic rowing race, and trek unsupported to the South Pole, I go through each of these blocks, and use anecdotes and activities to deliver thought provoking insights in an entertaining, unexpected and unforgettable way. 

 No role plays, no interpretative dance, just relevant information and focussed, highly interactive and inclusive exercises.
