The Leadership Series

Raise Your Human Leadership Game

Raise Your Human Game (RYHG) is a training experience designed to future-proof your workforce by cultivating leadership qualities in everyone, regardless of their role within your organisation.

Since Covid-19, the pressure on everyone has intensified, with managers arguably the cohort most impacted. In addition to their technical responsibilities, managers are now, more than ever, expected to support their team’s welfare and create inclusive and safe environments for up to five different generations of employees. It’s no surprise that 52% of managers are feeling burnt out*.

Our RYHG training is tailored to provide everyone in the workplace with the opportunity to develop essential relationship skills, emotional agility, and the ability to navigate challenging scenarios with greater ease.

The training is immersive and experiential, offering ample space for deep conversations, alongside theoretical learning and skills practice.

What’s more, it’s very action-orientated with time set aside at the end for group action planning, as well as individual action planning.

Why are Human Skills Relevant in the Workplace?

Human Skills (sometimes referred to as soft skills or emotional intelligence) are an essential skill to have in the workplace.

Our latest insights paper shares the 5 key reasons we think human skills training is so important right now.

By  understanding and managing emotions through human skills training, you can:

☑️ Better connect with your colleagues and create a more positive work environment.

☑️ Build relationships with clients and colleagues

☑️ Help resolve conflicts, which can lead to increased productivity and results

☑️ Become more stress-aware and accountable, leading to greater resilience In fact, emotional intelligence—the ability to, say, understand your effect on others and manage yourself accordingly—accounts for nearly 90% of what moves people up the ladder when IQ and technical skills are roughly similar. – Harvard.edu
