    (ONLINE WORKSHOP)

    There is no “one” perfect approach to managing people in terms of communicating, motivating or getting the best from people. Our approach needs to be sympathetic to our own personality and style, that of the person we are engaging with, and the context. You will lean an approach that offers the comfort of structure and guidelines but has enough scope for customisation and nuance.

    Day 1 – focus on the core skills of coaching and advanced communication to empower and motivate others.

    Day 2 – build on this foundation of coaching skills to tackle the harder conversations of both task and behaviourally based feedback. This workshop is interactive and practical in nature, to enable skills that can be immediately utilised in the pharmacy setting.

    • Day 2: Wednesday, 1 April 2026
