"Working with Dave has helped me become more resourceful and flexible in my responses to challenging situations in my job.

I'm now less dependent on approval and praise and better at understanding my own full range of strengths and internal resources. I've learned that others run habitual patterns of their own and what might seem threatening or rude behaviour is really just what they always do. It doesn't mean anything!

The practical outcomes from working with Dave have enabled me to prepare myself for important meetings or tasks so that I can be in my best state from the beginning and then deal confidently with whatever others do or say. This has allowed me to be more confident in my approach and judgement and in all my dealings with my team and senior management.

This process has helped me make real and lasting positive changes in the workplace."

At last! What to do when your best people just don't seem to be management material.

When training has failed ...

Are your best people stuck? Do you wish that they could take on more responsibility? They're technically skilled but now need:

to directly manage others
to take the lead in advising and influencing more widely.

They've had training but still aren't equipped to take on either of these roles effectively. The results are poor management of teams and badly informed decision making at a higher level.

And what about management succession? Are you faced with the expense of recruiting from outside? And how will you retain your skilled people if you pass them over for promotion?

This circle can be broken. Training in management theory hasn't helped because it failed to address the real barriers. Only when people change their personal goals and beliefs, as well as learning some appropriate techniques, can genuine progress be made.

We get what we expect to get! A lot of people believe that good managers are born, not made. So we accept a poor response to training and take it as proof that we've got the "wrong sort" of people!

Good managers can be made. You already know that the best investment you can make is to help your people to develop. If they haven't responded to management training in the past then the question is, "What prevents them from applying their learning?"

Hello, I'm Dave Rawlings and I believe that I can help. During 28 years in R&D management I have struggled with these issues ... and even faced them in my own development. Now I have discovered in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), a whole "technology" of learning and personal growth that can carry anyone into areas that seemed unreachable to them. As a Master Practitioner, I put this into effect through guaranteed programmes of skills-modelling and coaching that transform individual and team performances.

"I would recommend this programme to anyone who has a desire or need to 'break out' - to transform their performance in a current role or to equip them to take on new challenges with great confidence and enhanced chances of success."
