Nurturing the “Something More”

Many companies are already successful but feel that they could do things differently, or perhaps they just have a sense that something isn't quite right.  There is something missing.  There should be “something more”.  Chrissie McGinn & Richard Hewitt of Wisborough Transformation believe that the successful companies of the future will all have the "something more".

When you deal with the companies that have the “something more” you sense that they are both giving and receiving something extra. Chrissie McGinn & Richard Hewitt have integrated it  into Wisborough’s Organisational Learning and Development work so that everyone discovers how to be the best that they can be by consciously creating optimum experiences, good relationships, and a sense of purpose. 

WISBOROUGH encourages you to

question who you are as a leader

increase your emotional intelligence

make your relationships more effective

be authentic as you use your values to deal with difficult situations with integrity.

What makes Wisborough different?

If you are a company we would like to build a relationship with you to help you review and embed changes into your business to make it more successful.  We are there for the long term and will be there to support you long after a project has finished to help you maintain the success.   

If you are a delegate on a Wisborough Programme you will meet with Chrissie McGinn & Richard Hewitt before coming on the Programme so that you can talk about the problems you want to resolve, and explore what you want to gain from working with Chrissie & Richard.  They want to really understand your needs before they start helping you to your achieve goals.   

You will have individual attention from Chrissie & Richard as Wisborough Programmes are generally limited to SIX delegates to ensure that you will be able to work on your current issues, and find practical solutions that you can put into effect immediately.

When you return to work you will continue to be supported by email and phone to help you put your new insights and skills into practise so that they easily become your natural way of working.

Chrissie McGinn & Richard Hewitt of Wisborough have twenty years experience of working in a variety of settings; in organisations, with individuals and teams.  They work in the public, private and voluntary sectors on a variety of projects.   They facilitate groups, run workshops and courses, speak at conferences, and have a counselling practice.  They are co-authors of “Wisboroughs - Make a New Start with a Fresh View on Life”.

WISBOROUGH will encourage you to consciously nurture the “something more”.

Positive & Powerful Leadership Programmes

Positive & Powerful Leadership Programmes facilitated by Chrissie McGinn & Richard Hewitt are both "open" and "in-house" programmes for organisations.  The Programme shows leaders how to work with people to get the best from everyone in their team.  If you think that your managers need to be able to work with people positively and confidently, that good communication is essential to inspire people, and that there is no time for misunderstandings, conflict or bad feeling, this Programme is for you and your organisation.

“At the time I couldn’t see the point of the one-to-one interviews before the course, but now realise that you used everything to put the course together to help us all individually. Two days + one is really good.  It gave us a chance to practise in between, and bring our successes back.  This was the most beneficial course I’ve ever done”  (Lisa Dennis, manager, Caring Day Care – Positive & Powerful Leadership delegate)

This practical workshop helps leaders explore their own workplace situations and be able to:

·         Create positive and effective relationships

·         Motivate their teams

·         Identify and use their sources of power

·         Put their point of view persuasively

·         Manage change effectively

·         Resolve conflict

·         Understand why feelings get in the way and how they can manage them

·         Communicate positively and confidently

Positive & Powerful Relationships Programmes

·         “Two days + one is great.  It gave us a chance to practise in between, and bring our successes back”

·         “I’ve gained practical solutions to deal with my everyday situations”

·         “Knowing that we have your support in the future gives us much more confidence”
