Transgrid

The Problem

Transgrid approached us because they wanted to build their internal culture and capabilities during a time of growth and industry change. In addition, they, like so many businesses, needed to do this within the challenges of a hybrid working environment.

  • They wanted to give their team the skills they needed to:
  • Facilitate meetings effectively;
  • Communicate well, especially virtually;
  • Draw out the right conversations and questions;
  • Manage the people and energy of a room to achieve the best results;
  • Generate engagement and buy-in from stakeholders;
  • Get the message across to leaderships with confidence and clarity.

What We Did

In order to achieve this, we designed and delivered a comprehensive online facilitator training programme to staff within their L&D team.

Due to the success of that first program, we have continued to deliver the training, now face to face, and have extended it to encompass Human-Centred Leadership, Emotional Intelligence and Facilitation Training.

Participants got access to some of the most powerful and practical frameworks to understand what it means to be a good leader and facilitator (we actually see leaders and facilitators as the same thing). We believe that Emotional Intelligence is the foundation of great leadership and facilitation, and so we provided participants with practical activities to develop this essential human skill. We gave them specific processes to develop their ability to assess, empathise, plan, reflect, communicate, decide and act.

The Outcome

We provided Transgrid with the essential ingredients they needed to develop their people into great leaders and facilitators of change. Added to this, our sessions were so transformative, that participants left with the necessary mindset shift to believe that they could be great leaders and facilitators.

Participants said that they were able to use the tools not only at work, but also in their personal lives.

This is an example of an organisation that a client who experienced the personal transformations at an individual level and then wanted to spread that impact across the whole organisation. Whilst every person who attended the workshop said that it needed to be delivered to the whole organisation, it wasn’t until we reached 3% that they started seeing the potential for wider transformation.

We are now working with Transgrid to bring our leadership training out to all staff with the view to having a more empowered and engaged workforce.
