“72% of todays leaders are not equipped with the critical core skills
needed to lead tomorrow’s workforce. DDI 2015 Global Leadership Forecast
”
2. Most leadership development
programmes struggle to bridge the gap between learning
and implementation.
1. Following traditional leadership development programmes, four out of five senior managers and leaders are still under-confident when engaging and influencing tough audiences, teams and
clients.
3. 40% of todays global workforce is made up of
Millennials. 92% of them say that leaders aren’t engaging.*
It’s time to up your game.
Scott and Jamie have been designing and delivering workshops for IBM, Apple, Google and Deloitte for over 14 years.
During that time, they noticed three huge opportunities in the market.
So in 2013 they co-founded The Skills Farm, an award winning training company with one crystal clear vision…
To transform the way todays leaders, engage, relate and inspire.

The 5 Step High Impact Leadership
Development Programme
It’s time to unlock your leader’s most powerful communication techniques.
�
Employee attrition is higher than it should be. You are struggling to engage large segments of your employee population. Teams are not consistently high performing. Individuals aren't clear about your company’s strategy and vision. Leaders aren’t confident when communicating across cultures and across
generations.
Without this…
Your leaders fully engage employees company-wide, even remote teams. Cross-cultural communication is more fruitful and feels less cumbersome. Individuals and teams willingly go the extra mile. Employees can be heard clearly articulating how they contribute to your company’s strategy. Communicating across generations comes more naturally to your leaders.
…with this.
LEAD OUT LOUDHow effective are your leaders at
engaging employees and inspiring your teams to fulfil your strategy and vision?

Modules
This unique two day workshop covers the communication skills that your leaders need to quickly build trust, engagement and commitment through their ability to confidently communicate with all
employees - even with remote, cross generational and cross cultural teams.
When it comes to communicating your company's strategy and vision, it’s your leaders who are expected to provide clarity, direction and inspiration, particularly during times of uncertainty.
Filled with the proven leadership communication strategies of the worlds biggest and most successful organisations, this course gives your leaders a bigger impact with every employee.
�
Some of your company’s best ideas and initiatives don't get off the ground. There is little or no buy-in from potential clients. There is a lack of engagement and commitment from existing clients. Employees are resistant to leadership led change. Leaders aren’t confident when persuading more senior audiences.
Leaders lack clarity, passion and belief and aren’t followed.
Without this…
Leaders are listened to and taken seriously every time they communicate. Client sales, referrals and follow-on work increases. Leaders save time by getting buy-in and commitment much earlier on. Employees are motivated and inspired through times of change. Leaders are more confident when persuading others in more senior roles. Your leaders have enthusiastic and committed followers.
…with this.

Impact & Influence Modules
This action packed two day workshop ensures that your leaders walk away having practiced all the techniques they need to make a positive impact and get the results they are looking for, when they
need it most.
For leaders to consistently get the results they need, technical know-how will take them so far. It’s only when they master the techniques of impact & influence, that people sit up, listen and take action.
Packed with powerful techniques used by the most influential and convincing leaders in business today, this workshop changes the game for your leaders and their followers.
�
Your company will be seen and heard publicly as dry, unconvincing and unattractive to work with. Audiences are given too much information and not enough inspiration. Presentations turn off potential sales leads rather than ignite them. Leaders aren’t confident when handling curve ball questions or objections.
Audiences aren’t persuaded to buy, follow, sign, or commit.
Without this…
Powerful presenters promote and grow your company. Leaders attract a larger network of focussed leads and prospects. Audiences have greater confidence and trust in your company. Standing out from the crowd generates more genuine interest in what your company offers. Your leaders enhance their reputations every time they are visible.
…with this.

Leaders avoid delivering difficult messages. They become hot under the collar when handling difficult people. Facilitating frustrated or emotional groups in meetings and workshops is uncomfortable. Conflict, hostile and stressful situations are avoided or mishandled.
Leaders drop the ball when thrown a tough comment or objection.
Without this…
Leaders are genuinely confident stepping into tricky situations. Leaders remain cool, calm and collected when faced with difficult behaviours. Emotionally charged situations are handled with empathy and diplomacy. Conflict and aggression is managed well. Leaders can think with agility, especially when the going gets tough.
…with this.
COOL UNDER FIRE
Do your leaders confidently handle difficult people and think on their feet
when the heat is on?4
This workshop is not for the faint-hearted! But it is for leaders who regularly have to step into the battle zone. This two day workshop really puts your leaders through their paces, but equips them
with the skills they need to think on their feet and turn around any sticky situation.
Keeping calm under pressure is a killer skill that builds your leaders credibility, reinforces trust and opens doors.
Now your leaders can learn the techniques that seasoned group facilitators use to think on their feet and handle even the most difficult people.

Relationship building is ad-hoc and isn’t considered a strategic activity. Client relationships deteriorate over time and aren’t well maintained. Stakeholders don’t forgive mistake’s like they used to. Clients rarely recommend you and don’t provide you with follow-on work. Trust is an issue.
Leaders aren’t known for their listening skills and empathetic responses.
Without this…
Leaders are closer to their teams and their clients and know their goals, wants and needs. Relationships have longevity, are robust and stay strong when put under stress. Your leaders are deeply trusted and are frequently recommended. Individuals feel listened to and understood when expressing themselves.
…with this.
RESILIENT RELATIONSHIPS
Do your leaders cultivate relationships that stand the test of time, even when
put under strain?5
Packed with proven strategies and easy to use techniques, this compelling two day workshop is designed for leaders who need to quickly build and maintain strong, deep, meaningful business
relationships, especially for when the road get’s rocky.
Your company’s biggest asset is your people. And because people do more business with people they like and trust, proactive relationship management is paramount to your company’s success.
It’s time for your leaders to discover & practice the ingenious relationship building tactics used by three of the fastest growing companies on the planet.
