Changing Others' Behaviour

This two day introductory workshop is designed for those who want to develop or enhance their skills in supporting adults or young people to change their behaviour. It will be of particular interest to those assisting people in behaviour management (including pastoral roles) or in changing any other life style behaviour such as smoking, alcohol/drug use, diet, or exercise routine. The course aims to help participants reflect on and develop their general communication skills. This would be of benefit to a wide range of professionals who are dealing with adults and young people including teachers, youth workers, health care professionals, social workers, police and probation staff.  The course will help you to: 

  • Understand the principles of effecting behavioural change through the process known as Motivational Interviewing
  • Recognise and work with client ambivalence about change
  • Assist clients to assess their own readiness to change and make appropriate decisions about their behaviour
  • Learn reflective listening skills to elicit change-talk
  • Recognise and roll with client resistance
  • Gain experience, through demonstration and practice, in this evocative counselling style, and how it contrasts with methods of overt persuasion
  • Understand the process and psychology of change

The Trainer

Paul McKenna has trained extensively in the use of motivational interviewing, and has become expert in initiating and maintaining behaviour change. He is a member of the International Network of Motivational Interviewing Trainers and regularly provides training to a wide range of health and social care professionals.  Paul has worked extensively in the field of addictions where he has used his skills to help others change their destructive behaviour thus improving their own and others’ lives

Effective Negotiating

In the current economic climate there are tremendous pressures on managers to control costs and maximise benefits. This workshop will help managers develop the techniques and skills needed for building relationships and achieving better deals and in negotiating situations, be they buying, selling or labour relations. This will be achieved by:

  • Identifying effective and ineffective negotiating behaviour.

  • Identifying the theory and structure behind negotiations

  • Identifying the skills used in negotiation

  • Practising and improving on existing negotiation skills in a safe environment

Methodology

There will be inputs on negotiating theory, behaviour and best practice but a large proportion of the time will be spent on negotiating exercises. These will be video recorded, analyzed and fed back to the participants.

 

To facilitate effective feedback, a maximum of 6 participants only can be accommodated.
 

Venue

Our training suite in Belfast.

The Trainer – We have an experienced trainer and negotiator who has trained managers from leading organisations throughout the world.

 

Testimonials

“Having attended the course I can honestly say that I now have more confidence when it comes to making a business deal (negotiation).  The techniques and tips revealed through the negotiation course mean that I am now on the same, if not a higher level, as those I am competing with.  While I haven’t made my first million – yet, I firmly believe that the skills revealed through the course have certainly put me on that path.  It’s money well spent.”   Phil Duggan, Computer Solutions

“The training was delivered in a practical, down to earth way. I was able to put it into practice immediately”. -  David McNellis, Agency Director, Lisney Property Consultants

“It enabled me to achieve measurable improvements in my next major negotiation”. – Alan Boyce, Managing Director, Toni & Guy (Ireland)

“My colleagues and I are now much better prepared for negotiations. As a result we are a lot more confident of our own position and therefore willing to listen and fully explore the other side’s position before making our pitch”. – Bill Duff, Criminal Justice Solutions.

“The skills I developed on the negotiation course have already stood me in good stead.  I was able to handle a challenging negotiation situation with confidence and reached a result that all were happy with” – Dr Paul W Miller, Consultant Psychiatrist

Learning Skills - Learning to Learn from Experience

Managers are not necessarily more effective because they have had more experience. They are more effective because they have learned more from their experience. In a rapidly changing environment the ability to learn quickly from experience is an essential life skill.

The workshop will help the managers understand the learning process and their own learning style. It will enable them to become more efficient learners and be more proactive in making the most of learning opportunities in business and private life.

Methodology

There will be inputs from the tutor on adult learning theory. A questionnaire will be used to help the participants understand their personal learning styles, how to play to their strengths and develop areas of weakness. They will produce an action plan for ongoing learning.

The Trainer – John McCabe is an  experienced trainer and facilitator, originally from Northern Ireland, he has trained managers from many leading organisations in the UK, Ireland, Asia and the USA.

Venue – TMR Health Professionals, Pinewood House, 46 Newforge Lane, Belfast, BT9 5NW
