Taking steps towards being more proactive has the potential to benefit more than just the individual. When the balance is right, a proactive approach can benefit the wider team, clients, managers and in fact the whole company! Managers often encourage their team members to ‘be more proactive’, but what does this really mean?

This workshop will support team members on how to ‘step up’ without ‘overstepping the mark’ and take initiative to speak up with ideas and challenges – whilst being appropriate and respectful. Participants will explore how to clarify the scope of their role and take control of the areas within it, allowing them to drive their own performance whilst positively contributing towards the wider team outcomes.
