Tailor-Made Training in 2023/4

A Note from Rick Whitehead 

“Though we are not publishing an open course prospectus for 2023, I would be very happy to design and deliver bespoke events for clients on any of the subjects below - or indeed a mix.

“When designing programmes, I am fixated to the point of being ‘paranoid’ that no-one ever leaves an event without consciously acknowledging it was RELEVANT and they have learned something (anything) they can apply in their role to be more successful and/or fulfilled. The 3 design disciples I adhere to in order to ensure this happens are...."

Three Design Disciplines
1. Delegates Learn by DOING
2. Delegates Learn from RELEVANCE
3. Delegates Learn through ENJOYMENT

ALL resources, including time, have a price on them and ALL Task Goals are objectively measurable. In the “Raft Race”, for example, teams CHOOSE from a price list the items of equipment they wish to purchase and are rewarded by how fast they complete a route and how many team members survive!

This same principle is applied in ANY Impetus Teambuilding or Leadership event. A treasure hunt will be for Impetus Money - for its own sake, or to buy other resources; there is always a time constraint - with bonuses and penalties in CASH; how high; how long; how many, etc - discuss, debate, listen and decide!

listening, debating, negotiating, training, planning, budgeting, competitiveness, Effective Use of Time and other resources (people), prioritising, problem-solving, decision-making, appraising, motivating, risk-taking, listening,

the VALUE of reflection, mindfulness and "seeing yourself as others see you", developing relationships with colleagues - learning about them, helping them, building mutual respect TEAMWORK - Share Care, Communicate!

SERIOUS FUN”

“Serious Fun” is not an “oxymoron” - the words may appear to contradict each other but our experience has consistently shown that, if the “Fun” is unambiguously RELEVANT and important to delegates' work challenges - both problems and opportunities - then they will enjoy the process even more!

Who Wants to be a Millionaire?

Rick Whitehead's signature course is the “Leadership Millionaire”. Delegates are targeted to earn one million pounds each in NET PROFIT by the end of the event, See our BESPOKE Leadership for 2023/24.

So the winning team might be one who spend less time and money on a smaller craft, and fewer team members crew it, earning less GROSS returns but because they have spent less earn more NET PROFIT!

There are many illustrative examples of Tasks on this page and all over the site. Many are venue and location dependent of course, but part of the Impetus service is always tailor-making programmes to a client's goals and paticipants, and we will always help with finding a vanue (for DIY as well as bespoke)
