Essentials of Positive Leadership

Helping others to flourish

Being a leader is a huge responsibility, not least because leaders have a powerful role to play in enabling others to be their best. It can be hard to navigate your way through the wealth of information and advice that exists on leadership, but what this session will show is that following some basic positive leadership practices can have a significant impact on the engagement, commitment and performance of those we lead.

This brief, information-packed session will highlight the essential principles of positive leadership, giving delegates some simple tools that they can take away and use in their own roles.

What's our approach?

As occupational psychologists using positive psychology in our work, our workshops are solution-based and appreciative in nature. In other words, our aim is to equip people with the confidence and skills they need by helping them to identify successful strategies that will work for them.

All of our sessions combine theory and practice. Knowledge is power; by understanding a little of the research behind the ideas we share, delegates will be better equipped to make decisions about the tools and techniques that will work best for them. There’s not a ‘one fit for all’ solution, so we demonstrate and discuss a range of tools within our sessions, empowering delegates to choose the options that work best for them.
