4. Managing Diversity
• The D.I.V.E.R.S.I.T.Y Enneagram
Participants learn about the important elements of an effective diversity policy and implementation by building the D.I.V.E.R.S.I.T.Y. Model. The workshop activity is highly interactive
and is simply constructed to make it very easy for employees, whether from the shop floor or an office desk, to learn, how they should respect, speak and act appropriately towards
colleagues who have diverse cultural, religious, sexual, political beliefs or who may be of a different creed or colour or suffer from some form of disability.
• Emotional Intelligence: Good words and ugly words
We examine how people manage their moods and the effects of negative emotions on others, the language used in the workplace and we differentiate between ‘good’ words and ‘ugly’
words and how people react to both. We also consider the effect of open and closed questions – what this description of language means and how people respond to both types of
questions.
• Different Strokes for Different Folks
May we introduce you to a variety of different people, in caricature form, whom you will undoubtedly recognize. How do we recognize and deal with diverse cultures, characters and
behaviours in different situations?

1. The Coaching Process Model (now described) should be applied to your coaching of your Reportees on an individual basis
2. Each Stage is represented by three distinct icons e.g.
3. Use the Coaching Process Model to plot the route for each of your Reportees – this could mean that different Coachees are at different stages of the Coaching
Process at any one time
4. Stages 4,5, and 6 are likely to be repeated several/many times during the performance calendar
5. Review Stages 1 & 3 periodically – Quarterly or Half Yearly
6. Stage 2 – if properly completed should only need to be checked out on an Annual basis unless there is a dramatic change in your Reportee’s circumstances
7. Stage 7 is ongoing and should involve transfer of Best Practice, introduction of new standards and targets etc.,

9. • Business Competencies
Consider that competencies may be described in three dimensions. Firstly, the Attitude Competencies which include Positive Attitude, Emotional Intelligence, Self Esteem etc. These portray a
person’s approach to their job. Secondly, the Application Competencies illustrate how the job is carried out and finally, the Achievement Competencies reflect how the job is completed.
The development of individual skills begins with awareness and use of knowledge which progresses to competence which, when fully enhanced, develops into fully fledged skill.
For the purposes of developing your skills in Sales and Client service - the two are inexorably linked and one does not happen without the other - we have constructed a Competency Suite,
identifying eleven competencies. Two of the competencies in our Suite relate to Attitude, six refer to the Application Competencies and the remaining three focus on Achievement.
•S.T.A.R. Concept
The measurement of behaviour in the Coaching process is crucial and we offer Participants the opportunity to understand and then use the S.T.A.R. concept. This will enable people to break
down achievements into four constituent parts -Situation, Tasks, Actions, Results - and to use the results as a benchmark for continuous improvement.

•The Magic Stick & The 5 C’s
The Magic Stick Activity revealed how the 5 C’s represent another potent example of the use of triggers (or anchors) to sustain learning. When you think of the letter ‘C’ in future you may
recall, more easily, what this represents and how this relates to you in your everyday job.
Put another way, if you are able to consistently implement each of the ‘C’ s there is little doubt that you will improve your overall performance considerably. When some of the C’s are being
used you will make some progress – when none of the C’s is being used you will make little or no progress. Therefore, the rate and quality of your progress will be influenced by the extent to
which you embrace the 5 C’s
• Colour Blind
Interaction and communication with customers is crucial. Colour Blind - a stimulating Group exercise - is used to demonstrate the importance of effective listening and we examine the basic
principles of Neuro – Linguistic Programming (NLP) to enhance communication skills
Listening ..... to what people are saying (or not saying)
hearing is not the same as listening
listening to how people describe things
Asking ...... questions rather than telling or assuming
when making statements make sure that you stick to the facts not opinions
offer an opinion but do not force your opinions on others
Awareness ..... of your own behaviour and the impact you have on others
put yourself in the shoes of others .i.e. your colleagues and your customers

When you find out what makes each Employee
‘tick’ your job as a Manager becomes so much
easier. This, of course, is an elusive skill for many
to master especially given that many employees
do not know or have really considered what
motivates them. One thing is certain, whether
they believe it or understand it everyone is
motivated by something – often more than one
‘thing.’
I will give
everything to a
leader I can trust
and who keeps
promises
‘I workbestwhen
I have a routine
and I know what
to expect’
‘The job gives me
confidence that I did
not have before and I
feel much better
when I am confident’
‘The job is attractive
because of the Salary
and Bonuses it offers
me’
‘The hours suit me.
It’s really great that I
can walk to work and
be able to pick up the
kids from school’
‘The job provides for
the lifestyle I desire
and enhances my
standing in the
community’
‘I love the social side-
the people I work
with and customers I
meet’
‘I respond positively
when I know that I
can achieve
promotion in my job’
‘The working
conditions and
atmosphere are really
important to me’
‘I am motivated when
I am learning new
things and gaining
more knowledge’
‘I suppose I just need
to belong to
‘something’ and feel
part of the team’
‘I like Challenges
- this always
stimulates me’
‘I know I need to
feel secure to do
well’
‘I just need the job to
see me through to
retirement in three
years’
‘I need to feel valued and
recognised for what I do. A
‘Thank you’ means a lot to
me’
‘I love getting and
setting targets and
beating them. I
always want to be
the best I can be’
‘I have the
opportunity to
develop my skills
which really
motivates me’
Of course, I can help
you getwhatyou want
and this is whatI need
you to do getit. Do we
have deal?
Ok then - it’s a
deal!
Each of us is motivated by our needs. Our most basic needs
are inborn, having evolved over tens of thousands of years.
Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs helps to explain how
these needs motivate us all. Maslow's Theory states that
we must satisfy each need in turn, starting with the very
basic, which deals with the most obvious needs for survival
itself. Only when the lower order needs of physical and
emotional well-being are satisfied are we concerned with
the higher order needs of influence and personal
development.

12. • S.M.A.R.T.S. & S.W.O.T.S.
S.M.A.R.T. Goals
Specific: Clearly define your target or end result. Avoid being vague and instead think about the who, what, where, when, why and how of your goal.
Measurable: Think about the numbers associated with your goal. How will you measure success?
Action-oriented: Develop a plan of action in order to achieve your goal. Make it as specific as possible.
Realistic: Make sure your goal is possible and reachable. You can always make additional goals once you’ve reached your initial result.
Time-bound: Set a deadline to motivate yourself towards change.
S.M.A.R.T. goals can help you on your path to success—and so can HARD goals.
H.A.R.D. Goals
Heartfelt: Develop deep-seated and heartfelt attachments to your goals on levels that are intrinsic, personal and extrinsic. Use these connections to
naturally increase the motivational power you put behind making your goals happen.
Animated: Create goals that are so vividly alive in your mind that to not reach them would leave you wanting. Use visualization and imagery
techniques to sear your goal firmly into your brain including perspective, size, color, shape, distinct parts, setting, background, lighting, emotions and movement.
Required: Give procrastination (which kills far too many goals) the boot. Convince yourself and others of the absolute necessity of your goals and
make the future payoffs of your goals appear far more satisfying than what you can get today. This will make your HARD Goals look a whole lot more
attractive and ramp up your urgency to get going on them right now.
Difficult: Construct goals that are optimally challenging to tap into your own personal sweet spot of difficulty. Access past experiences to use them to
position you for extraordinary performance. Identify your goal setting comfort zone and push past it in order to attain the stellar results you want.
