WORKING WITH AND IN GROUPS 5 & 6 June 2007, London Groups make up a large part of the workplace and can be specialist groups, working parties or just the informal groups that exist in any organisation. They differ from a normal departmental team in that a group tends to come together for a specific purpose but its members work independently. A group may have a leader but the roles and functions of the other group members may not be well defined. Managers, supervisors and trainers all have to work in or with groups. Many find themselves in, or leading groups without any training in or understanding of group dynamics or how to make the group work effectively. BENEFITS OF ATTENDING This course will provide an opportunity to experience several types of groups. The different approaches needed to both be a member of and to lead or work with these different types will also be reviewed. BY THE END OF THE EVENT PARTICIPANTS WILL HAVE: · discussed group theory and the different styles of group · looked at managing different types of group and leadership styles · developed the skills to manage different types of groups · practised leading groups within the course WHO SHOULD ATTEND? Anyone involved in or leading/managing a group COURSE LEADER: PETER FIRKIN Peter has worked as a trainer for over 25 years. He has considerable experience in the development of training and learning and specialises in a number of areas including coaching, managing staff development, presentation skills and managing difficult situations.
