Great Team, Great Success! TRAINING

F ebruary 2016 saw us continue our commitment to Teams by conducting another Personal Effectiveness Programme (PEP) for Team Members held at the Hunter Valley Resort Pokolbin. Prior to attending PEP they complete a Life Styles Inventory (LSI) questionnaire. The Life Styles Inventory™(LSI) is designed to promote constructive and transformational change, with the feedback helping individuals more clearly understand what is currently supporting and hindering their personal effectiveness, with guidance to developing more constructive styles of thinking and behaving. With researched links to personal satisfaction, stress, effectiveness and quality of interpersonal relationships, the LSI can truly help people change their lives. This has proven to be a very popular programme which we conduct regularly throughout the year. The first day of PEP we met for lunch at THQ before making our way to the

“Arriving on the first day I wasn't sure what to expect, except I knew my anxiety levels where at an all time high. I received my LSI results and wasn't too surprised with any of it. I had my " AHA" moment near the end of the day gaining an understanding of why I act and come across a certain way both in work and personal life. I'm still trying to work out how to use this information and move forward. Bill and everyone involved is supportive not just on the day but afterwards, you are not made to feel ashamed or embarrassed about your feelings, there is nothing but support and encouragement. PEP is certainly a course I highly recommend you attend, you will learn about yourself and also have a better understanding of others. The course is full on but fun at the same time, Tim Ferris makes sure that you are enjoying it. You come away from PEP with life long friends.”

Hunter Valley Resort where we were split into Teams for a seglympics .This was great fun and helps to build relation- ships and emphasises teamwork. The next two days are committed to the LSI with Team Members being provided with their results and being debriefed by Tim Ferris of Dattner-Grant. Tim is very experienced and has been working with Kennards for over five years. PEP is a big commitment and major investment in our people, it provides our Teams with the opportunity to develop professionally and personally, creating Teams that add value to the business. Feedback from all Team Members who have participated in PEP is outstanding. Everyone involved has taken away valuable learning that helps them grow as individuals. There has already been many enquiries regarding the next programme. Bill McClean Training and Development Manager
