At the start of their career, it can be quite intimidating for individuals to establish and build solid working relationships in the workplace, let alone make themselves heard, especially around higher-ranking people. That said, with the right skills and a solid understanding of power styles, priorities and responsibilities participants will be equipped to effectively ‘manage upwards’.
This workshop aims to help participants navigate their working relationships with managers and leaders. They will be equipped with the confidence to manage upwards, interacting in a way that is beneficial and respectful to everyone’s priorities and responsibilities.
