Career Development programmes from Brefi Group
These intensive residential programmes are designed to introduce
individuals to the reality of their new responsibilities, requiring
greater levels of initiative, responsibility and leadership, with
less structure and direction from above. They deal with skills,
processes and identity, including values, goal setting and communication.
Based on an NLP foundation course the programmes involve a mixture
of discovery, self directed learning and group projects.
Each programme includes learnings and exercises appropriate to
the stage of development of the target audience. They are ideal
for delivery in-house for large organisations or through professional
associations, or as open courses.
We like to run these programmes in a country setting that allows
us to integrate indoor learning with outdoor exercises, and we have
experience of running them in different parts of the world (see
the photo gallery). Often savings in the venue costs can compensate
for air fares, and the journey adds to the overall impact of the
course.
New managers programme
Becoming a manager is a major challenge in terms of personal identity
and responsibilities. Whereas there are many management training
programmes that provide classic management skills, this programme
is an action learning event based on the concept of a Hero's Journey.
During a five day residential programme participants both learn
communication and managegement skills and undertake personal and
group projects, practical exercises and adventures that help them
develop into fully fledged managers. They learn to take responsibility,
develop strategy and communicate effectively.
High fliers programme
How do you invest in your high fliers? This programme is an opportunity
to take your high fliers and put them together with others from
your own organisation or on a public course to raise their aspirations
and develop their potential. This programme is focused on personal
development, to help every participant discover their own strengths
and potential, and to develop the attitudes and communication skills
that will enable them to flourish on their return to the workplace.
During the week they will have an opportunity to address and resolve
personal issues, confront leadership challenges and work together
in high performance teams. The programme ends with a series of group
projects that can be presented to a senior member of the organisation.
New directors programme
Appointment as a director or equity partner represents a major
change of career. Until now, executives and professionals have succeeded
through their traditional qualifications and experience and gradually
taking on more and more responsibility within a defined context.
Suddenly they are faced not only with new legal responsibilities,
but with a need to look out for the whole organisation - taking
account of other departments, scanning the external environment
for oportunities and developments and joining a new, elite, group
at the top.
This programme is designed to help participants make these psychological
changes, as well as introducing them to the skills, behavours and
responsibilities of board membership.
NLP consultancy practitioner programme
This 20-day integrated programme of consultancy skills –
the first of its kind in the world – including modules on
coaching, facilitation and training, leads to an NLP practitioner
certificate and registration as an accelerated trainer. It forms
part of the Brefi Group six month programme for successful professionals
and executives who wish to become successful consultants. (Hyperlink
