Who I Work With

I work with people in any business or organisation who want to become excellent managers.

They may be new managers, recently appointed or just about to take up a new role. Or they may have been managers for some time but they want to develop their skills in specific areas.

If you can relate to any of these comments, then Train of Thought can help you:

"  I've just become a manager and I'm not sure how I'm meant to behave now. Should I just carry on being myself or are managers supposed to be different somehow? "

" I don't know how to treat the people I used to work with now I've been promoted. I want to be friendly with them but, if I am, will they still respect me and do what I need them to do? "

" I've got some people who aren't performing as well as they should be. I don't really know how to handle it without them getting upset or defensive about it. How can I speak to them without it all blowing up? "

" Now I'm a manager, I seem to be working all hours but I'm still not getting done all the things I really need to do. There are so many interruptions and people wanting my time, I get to the end of the day and I haven't done half the things I meant to do when I came in. "

"  There are some people I just find it hard to deal with. Some I get on well with, but some just seem to be on a different wavelength. I can't seem to communicate with them. What can I do? "

" I hate going to meetings. I spend hours in them and it all seems like a waste of time. And I can't think of anything sensible to say. Is there any way of making them more useful? "

Don't depair! These are all problems I can help with, through in - house training or by individual coaching.
