Training for Peak Performance
CommuniCorp's peak performance workshops are provided by Prime Time Training (www.primetimetraining.com.au) and include the following workshops:
Mastering Goals
It is one thing to set goals well, it is quite another to actually achieve them. This original workshop explores Five Factors that underlie goal achievement - what people who achieve a lot actually demonstrate - and you will analyse your strengths and weaknesses in terms these Five factors. You will also develop ways to lift your self-efficacy (the self-belief that underlies long-term achievement) and be given a practical goals template that encapsulates what you have learned and provides a usable structure for achieving future goals.
Empowering Others
Some people just seem to know naturally how to enable and empower others. This workshop unpacks this ability and introduces the ‘language of Possibility’: how the intelligent and skilled use of language helps people to get unstuck. Specifically, you will learn how to interrupt patterns in others that don’t work and amplify patterns that do. There are five areas to master: acknowledging + generating possibility; the ‘viewing’ of problems; mapping problems and goals; connecting with internal and external resources; and changing the ‘doing’
Peak Performance Under Pressure
This session is designed for those who work in, or manage others in, high pressure, ‘on demand ‘ environments and dynamic workplaces where change and pressure is a constant. It charts the typical roller coaster ride we take in meeting deadlines and provides practical strategies for dealing with those pressures. It is an essential workshop for any organisation that truly values high-performance sustainability, productivity and the emotional well-being of its staff. It provides increased psychological awareness, improved work efficiency and resilience for staff. In particular, it deals practically with the twin perils of deadline-driven workplaces: too much stress and its partner in crime, too much procrastination.
The Innovation Imperative 1 (IP-1)
This is our foundational program for understanding and mastering creativity and innovation at work. It is an interactive forum revealing the psychology of personal and organisational creativity and the necessary stages of creative & innovative process. This involves exploration of insight problems and an interactive forum that then moves into practical strategies for creative problem expansion & elaboration: what’s the problem under the problem? This workshop is then ideally followed with IP-2.
The Innovation Imperative - Creativite Techniques: Advanced Brainstorming (IP-2)
Once we know what the real problem is we are dealing with, we need ways to generate ideas for its novel solution. You will learn advanced idea-generation techniques that create the requisite social freedom and playfulness to keep ideas flowing. For example, approaches to deal with status and power difference in brainstorming groups will be provided. We will then look at ways to select ideas that are promising and then learn how to evaluate them rigorously. Fun, practical, yet theoretically based, this workshop is all about applied creativity.
Balanced Innovative Practice
There’s more than one way to skin a cat, and even more ways to innovate. Whatn kinds of creativity and innovation are most suited to your organisation? You will get the opportunity to self-assess and to gain insight into your organisation’s creative needs moving forward. What is the gap between your situation now and how you would like it to be? What innovative actions need to be taken to close that gap? how can you encourage everyone in your organisation to be appropriately creative? What happens to creative ideas after they are invented? To assist in answering these and other questions, you will start an innovation action plan for your organisation to begin the process of systemic innovation.
