Removing Obstacles Course
Course Description
Many people are finding themselves frustrated, stuck and disheartened in their working life due to not being able to overcome challenging things that get in the way of them reaching their goals. These might be project goals, individual goals or even organisational/company goals.
Often individuals and teams set off with great aspirations, form teams and create what they think is the right focus for a project. But soon cracks appear and people come up against obstacles which prevent them from achieving what they set out to do.
This has been made worse since the Covid Pandemic by remote working, complexity of organisations and cost pressures.
These obstacles can be in many forms. The people you work with, too restrictive or conflicting timescales, limited or wrong resources, your or others’ lack of knowledge, your or others’ skillset and capabilities, and often unclear communication and individual priority setting.
All of this means we are losing time, money and energy in inefficiencies. People get demotivated and sometimes tempers rise.
It is often our mindset which gets in the way.
Our Course aims to help individuals and teams unpick these obstacles. Look at them in new ways and find tactics to address them. Our toolkit will support your new thinking and set you on a new path to success.
What topics are covered?
Our courses are tailored to your needs by selecting from a list of tools, each of which is an individual topic and takes about an hour. Each tool generally covers one key management skill, behaviour or attribute, is accompanied by a toolcard (which builds up to create a personalised toolkit) and uses our Tell-Show-Do experiential learning methodology.
You can select from the list of tools below to create learning that is just right for your needs or get in touch with one of our trainers to help design and curate the right programme for your team.

How long is the course?
It depends on how many units you selected from the list above! Each unit takes about an hour, with extra time for an introduction, any breaks that are needed and a wrap-up. Choose one unit or add them together - three units make up half a day, and five or six units make a full day.
What can you expect?
Interactive, thought-provoking training that can be virtual, face-to-face or a hybrid of the two. We use a variety of methods to create learning that sticks: from videos to activities and exercises in groups or individually, to e-learning, to further reading.
