Self Leadership
This is a “must” if you want to develop your people into proactive self leaders.
Leadership is a double-sided coin, we need to learn to lead our self, and lead others.
Self leadership introduces participants to the key leadership concepts developed over the last 40 years, Blanchard’s situational leadership model, SLII®. We also address the need to identify what holds us back from being proactive, and how we can leverage the appropriate influence to get what is needed to meet objectives.
Representing incredible value for only a one-day workshop, Self Leadership will elevate the effectiveness of your people to become proactive contributors.
Building Trust
Trust building is fundamental to any healthy organisation.
This half-day workshop increases the sense or partnership in building a positive workplace, and helps everyone restore trust where it has been eroded.
A collaboration between Ken Blanchard Companies and Trust leadership expert Randy Conley, this program is a no-brainer to help you create a trusting work environment where your people feel safe, empowered and motivated.
Leading People Through Change
Change initiatives often fail because the organisation and their leaders lack the framework and skills to implement a People Plan.
Blanchard’s Leading People Through Change® program is a one-day workshop (available as a virtual instructor-lead event) teaches your leaders and managers how to lead change successfully. They will understand the predictable stages of change and know how to address people’s concerns to help get results faster.
Blanchard Management Essentials
This is one of our most popular workshops across New Zealand.
Built on the best selling book “The New One Minute Manager”, this workshop gives managers the mindset and the skillset to drive performance through four core conversations.
Participants will have the skills to bring out the best in their people, building positive relationships that drive engagement and productivity.
The SLII® Experience
Blanchard’s SLII® empowers leaders to become adaptive—a requirement for our uncertain times.
Backed by 40 years of research and an unmatched track record of results,
The SLII Experience™ teaches your leaders how to lead situationally by giving their people the right support or direction at the right time.
Organisations can choose the delivery method for The SLII Experience: face-to-face, live virtual, or asynchronous.
All delivery formats use a four-part learning path to ensure your managers master the content and become situational leaders.
The Emotional Culture Deck
This simple yet powerful tool is used to create face-to-face conversations about culture and leadership within any organisation or team. It’s power is in it’s simplicity and non-confrontational way of generating conversation that matter.
Great starter for organisations looking to build empathy, foster trust and create connections.
Frameworks
Frameworks - Or as I like to think of them - coat hangers.
Cheesy, maybe, but it's a good way to view these programs. On their own, they won't fix your problems, or get your clothes off the floor - but they do provide you a structure to hang something of substance.
I'm certified to administer and facilitate the programs under these world leading organisations.
My role is to make sure you're using the right one and ensure you know how to use it effectively.
Core Strengths
People make better decisions in their interactions with others when they understand their core strengths. This is the foundation of productive team relationships. Once everyone has this insight you can orchestrate a culture of collaborative efficiency
Blanchard NZ
Many organisations struggle to find solutions that increase productivity and results in their organisation. Giving your people what they need, when they need it accelerates their development —creating a more productive, passionate workplace.

If you want to make better strategic and tactical decisions, and to improve your business results, you need the information Extended DISC provides.
Testimonial
Szilveszter Toth, The Plaza Hotel
Szilveszter Toth is a well traveled hospitality professional – he speaks four languages and is a very interesting guy!
Sly, as his friends call him, is well aware that at times when he comes across as direct, it can have the opposite effect he is looking for… So when he took a General Manager role in the heart of mining country, Western Australia, he quickly saw his team needed to understand why he communicates the way he does. A smart man, and consummate professional, Sly doesn’t adhere to the “It’s my way or the highway” management style.
Here’s what he did about it:
“I’d seen Tim work with Core Strengths a few years ago in Auckland, and knew it would help me improve the communication with my team. As much as I wanted to communicate with them in a way that builds positive relationships, I wanted my team to have some insight into each other – and of course to understand my communication style!
Being across the ditch was no problem – the virtual session provided what we needed.
“One of the outcomes for Core Strengths is understanding when we might trigger one another into conflict unintentionally. With an internationally diverse team, I find the Core Strengths assessment and team day together discussing the implications very worth while.
If your team relies on quality communication like ours do in the hospitality industry, I recommend this one.”
