The New Leadership Course
Courageous Conversations Courageous conversations are usually discussions that are difficult and uncomfortable. We often dread them, or at least stew about them for days or weeks before the discussion actually occurs. They create emotions on both sides of the conversation and tend to be associated with awkward, stressful, or challenging situations. It can be tempting to avoid this discussion and put it off, hoping the situation resolves itself. Most times the leader has a goal or a desired outcome that needs to be achieved within the discussion. This may be a behaviour change, a specific action needs to happen, or possibly a change in attitude. Being open, authentic, and honest while maintaining an atmosphere of trust and respect can be daunting for many leaders.
Balancing Time and Workload Time is a limited commodity and in this digital age, life seems to be getting even busier. Effective time management is a vital skill to get the most out of your available time and has been shown to decrease stress, anxiety and even depression. There are many different time management strategies and tools and they all have their pros and cons, and they address different aspects of time management. In this course Jason Giebsrecht will teach you the Time Optimisation Roadmap which he developed from trying a variety of time management strategies and tools.
Managing Conflict in Rehabilitation When people come together there will often be conflict. In healthcare, conflict can occur between healthcare professionals and auxiliary staff during the healthcare delivery process and result in serious problems with significant consequences. A good leader can recognise the causes of conflict and is able to facilitate a conflict management process where all parties feel they have been heard and their needs met. This course will show you various conflict management styles and behaviours as well as lead you through a step by step conflict management process.
Personal Values and Beliefs
Personal values are broad goals that represent what is important to someone. Beliefs are thought constructs that people apply to themselves, others, the world or the future. Personal values and beliefs help to guide our behaviours and decisions we make. A person’s beliefs can be positive or negative and true or untrue. When analysing beliefs by their polarity and accuracy one can see where improvements can be made in their lives. This can be done by reframing untrue beliefs and recognising negative, true beliefs as an opportunity to change.
Emotional Intelligence (EI) is the ability to recognise, understand and manage the emotions of oneself and of others. It is developed throughout life and can be learnt and improved on.

It will explore the role of EI in effective leadership. It will guide you in identifying areas of EI strength and opportunities for EI improvement within yourself and help develop an action plan to improve EI and leadership effectiveness
