Course overview

We're delighted to offer this brand new course in an exciting new partnership with Blue Ptarmigan, who are people focused performance specialists. Trainer Mark Douglas has extensive experience in the design and delivery of people based ‘development interventions’ for the third sector, SME’s and public sector bodies. 

We all have moments of self-doubt and wonder if we can really achieve what is being asked of us. The world of work can be a tough and lonely place where perceived rejection and failure is tough to handle. Sometimes, the ‘stories we tell ourselves’ can hold you back; you can end up questioning your ability and your worth. Your ability to continue on and keep your self-belief is a key attribute to achieving both work and personal success.

After all, “The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low and achieving our mark’, Michelangelo.

Overall course aim

This one-day course aims to provide you with the tools to:

  • a greater awareness of what resilient people do that sets them apart from others.
  • develop your power of perseverance with some practical approaches.
  •  enhanced confidence in dealing with rejection and perceived failure.
  •  a greater awareness of what triggers your self doubt and negative feelings.
  • better handle difficult conversations and day-to-day conflict.
  • clarity around what you need to start, stop and continue doing in order to build your resilience and greater self belief.
Course objectives

This hands on course will help you understand how self-doubt can manifest itself and impact your physical being, performance and day-to-day work. You’ll share strategies that build resilience and self-confidence to ensure you have the tools to tackle typical hurdles and challenges. You’ll discover how to better handle difficult situations or scenarios, including difficult conversations and day to day conflict.

Who was the course aimed at?

This one day course is aimed at anyone who wants a new approach to better manage difficult conversations at work. It is for anyone who feel they lose out because they lack confidence, and want to turn that around.
