Productivity Through Relationships: Why Manager–Employee Conversations Are the Productivity Lever We Ignore
About this Event

About the session

Delivered by Eileen Donnelly - Founder and Chief Executive of Ripple & Co and an experienced senior leader from a global FTSE 250 organisation - this session, delivered in partnership with The Productivity Institute, offers a live, evidence-based experience using immersive, actor-led learning to translate productivity research into real-world practice.

Rather than talking about productivity, by engagement with an innovative approach to learning, delegates will see, feel and influence behaviour in real time, gaining practical insight into how small shifts in manager capability and confidence can unlock significant performance gains. This award winning, CPD accredited learning solution, called Talkworks is designed to be provocative, memorable and action-focused session, leaving participants with a changed mindset and a clear pathway to sustained behaviour change beyond the event.

What you can expect

  • A fresh leadership perspective on people, performance and productivity
  • Live insight into the behaviours and dynamics that shape workplace outcomes
  • Greater confidence in handling the conversations leaders often avoid
  • A powerful demonstration of what unproductive relationships look and feel like
  • Practical behaviour shifts that can improve outcomes immediately
  • Ideas you can take back to your team to improve collaboration and performance

Talkworks has been delivered in organisations across a variety of sectors including Virgin, Kelloggs, NatWest, GXO, VolkerWessels, Cadent Gas, Mott MacDonald and St John Ambulance.

“I can honestly say that this was by far the best course I have ever undertaken within my working career. Very informative and thought provoking”.
