1Negotiating for Success: Women, Careers and Business masterclass, normally a 1-day programme

Any woman seeking to develop her career path and maintain her professional and personal interests needs to know negotiation tools and techniques that leverage her knowledge and strengths. This class will show you how to achieve better results in your negotiations while maintaining effective social relationships.

2Communicating with Power and Impact masterclass, normally a 1-day programme

To increase your impact within your organisation, you must be able to convey your objectives in an effective manner. This class will provide you with the tools to explore your communication styles, which in return will allow you to attract support, gain resources and resolve conflicts in a variety of contexts. 

3. The Bystander effect and its consequences in the workplace

The term bystander effect refers to the phenomenon in which the greater the number of people present, the less likely people are to help a person in distress. Harassment, such as bullying, name-calling, and intimidation, unfortunately, is common in organisations. 13% of all employees report having been target of it. Do the victims have a responsibility to stand up for themselves? Should we, as bystanders, address the situation right there, right then? Are all harassers horrible people who should be fired immediately? During this workshop we will discuss and practice different ways of becoming upstanders by addressing the harassment in a manner that is beneficial for the victim, but also for the organisation as a whole.
