Tuff Training

For Social Impact Organisations

Affordable training for people working in nonprofits that develops the leadership mindset and skills needed to have more impact

Overview

Do you care deeply about your organisation’s mission, purpose and values? Do you find that the working climate, leadership culture and way of relating to each other in your organisation is getting in the way of having the impact you believe is possible?

If you answered yes, you are not alone!

Who is this for?

People working in the social impact sector (broadly defined to include any NGOs and social enterprises with a primary goal of social impact) in roles such as Project Manager, CEO or senior leader, Scrum Master, HR professional, people manager, or any team member working in a self-organising team.

What to expect?

Practical training with peers in your sector in the leadership mindset and skills needed to better achieve your organisation’s purpose through unleashing the potential in your teams. And breakthrough results!

What NOT to expect!

Theoretical training or ‘edutainment.’

Time commitment

The programme consists of 3 modules spread over approximately 4 weeks. Each module takes place over one afternoon (12:30 – 16:00 GMT) and the following morning (9:00 – 12:00 GMT) so there are six half-day sessions in total. In between each module you will have time to try out your learnings.

What separates this training from any other that I've attended is: it's practical and it works for different levels of leadership… People in the organisation say to me: “the way you work with people has really changed”, and I know it is because of this training.

The missing piece

In this course you will get practical tools and training that will enable you to:

  • Be more coaching and contribute to others’ development (instead of people being dependent on your knowledge and experience)

  • Give powerful feedback that makes a difference

  • Support and empower your colleagues in times of change and uncertainty

  • Be more confident in having difficult conversations

  • Practice new conversations and ways of being in a safe learning environment

  • Get feedback and coaching that brings new levels of self-awareness

We believe the source of new levels of collaboration, innovation, and development is not new structures and processes but addressing the dynamic underlying how we work together. By shifting this dynamic from one that is parent-child and hierarchical, to one that is adult-adult and partnership-based, we can unleash the leadership potential across our organisations.

This training is designed to jump-start that shift.

What we will cover

The training is practical and is designed to develop the leadership mindset and skills needed to unleash responsibility and commitment in your teams.

Your old patterns and behaviors will be challenged, and you will become aware of your pitfalls and strengths. Real-life role-plays combined with individualised, powerful feedback mean that you will find new and better ways to deal with the challenges you are facing. The overall theme is a coaching leadership approach, which is translated into different kinds of conversations such as feedback and coaching. You will get a variety of new tools that you can apply right away. The methodology used is Tuff Leadership Training’s own, which has been developed for more than twenty years and is known for producing tangible results.
