Maguire Training Reviews

Good opportunity to share reflections and ideas ; a worthwhile investment of my time ; I have learnt some techniques / approaches that I will try to utilise in patient / colleague interactions

Laura delivered an interactive course. It was a smaller group than expected and she customised the course with relevant examples, further reading, and relevant other topics to explore. A really interesting day - thank you.

A really helpful course on giving feedback with models and ways of working I can implement straight away

I alway look forward to the sessions with Mike. He clearly has a great amount of subject matter knowledge that we works into his answers to questions and in the examples he provides.

Learnt a lot of new things to think about and use in my work place.

Good overview of Accountable and AUTONOMOUS Working

Informative.

Very informative and inspiring work by Dr Shashi. Learnt a lot

The trainer outlined that there were 4 different components which made up emotional intelligence. We spent the first 2 hours introducing ourselves, the subject and setting the scene. We did not get into any content for quite some time, and then spent the next 5 hours exploring how to identify and manage our own emotions. I feel like this may be useful for someone who has had feedback about anger issues, but my primary objective was to learn more about emotional intelligence to be able to improve working relationships and performance. Too much time was spent on the first two components which make up emotional intelligence, with only 20-30 minutes looking at 1 model for identifying 4 different people styles, with the advice on how to apply emotional intelligence to improve relationships to "mirror others people style within challenging conversations". By contrast, we learnt 6 techniques for managing our own emotions, some of which would have been very challenging to apply in an real time conversation with a colleague. There was not enough weighting given to content that would have been most useful in a professional environment. Perhaps the trainer could ask for participants to share what they want to get out of the session in advance, and efforts made to adapt the content to meet the learning objectives of participants?

Thoroughly enjoyed today, found out a lot of interesting methods I can use to tackle in my everyday working life
