Do you have a need to ease your workload, or to get other people to contribute towards better outcomes than you can achieve on your own?

This workshop is specifically designed to deliver the critical skills and processes required to help you Delegate with the ease and ability that will enable you to produce observable and positive results – for all concerned. You will build on your competence to be create SMART and SMART(ER) goals to set a direction and monitor progress that will help ensure the right results.

Great delegation has a huge number of benefits, chief amongst them are; getting the job done most efficiently and effectively, lightening your own workload, helping others learn and grow and getting the right work/life balance for yourself. All of which often means that you can reach or exceed your goals far more easily. And if you are in or aspiring to a leadership or management position, being someone who can delegate effectively increases your value to the organisation immensely.

You can probably see one or two connections to your personal life as well.

This workshop ensures that it’s easy for you to acquire these skills and processes. More importantly, the learning methodology and included activities/assignments help you to practice for mastery, personalise to your own style and approach, and apply these skills precisely to the reality of your role and the day-to-day situations you face.
