PPMS Residential Courses
The centrepiece of the 'Maximising Your Potential' programme is a 3-day
residential course, which offers an in-depth opportunity to assess your
own skills profile in an active environment, rather than just
speculatively thinking and talking about your skills.
The focus is on
learning from experience in a supportive environment, where it is
possible to learn from your own and others' successes and shortfalls and to take this learning beyond the course into 'real life'.
Skill development is essentially an active process. It is usually not
sufficient to attend a lecture on teamwork if one is interested in
becoming more productive when working in a team, for example. The
concepts and theories presented are put to the test and refined in practical
action, by having participant teams undertake challenging tasks, which
variously require creative thinking, careful planning,
organisation and teamwork - as well as a spirit of fun. The implications
for ongoing skills development in your everyday environment is the main
concern of the course and time is set aside to consider and plan this
beyond the course.
The residential course is both intensive and enjoyable, with a
combination of small group classroom sessions and (non-strenuous)
outdoor activities. The process starts with your individual skill
development objectives, enlarging its concern to getting the best from
working in groups, teams and organisations. Group events are often
helpful in illuminating individual issues also, for example revealing
one's habitual approaches to tasks and projects.
The residential course is conducted at a number of venues outside of London - for more detail, click here . All accommodation and meals are provided, with coach transport to the venue as appropriate.
