We empower rather than instruct,
we listen rather than lecture,
we guide rather than tether.
Doom and gloom? Give up, buy a tractor and go and live off the land in the Scottish Highlands? Fun though it might be, we don’t think that’s the way forward.
Without doubt, and without any attempt to sugar the pill, it’s tough for all. But tough is a game of percentages and the more someone empowers themselves then the more they increase their percentage chance of success, the more they get to outrun the bear. The secret lies in marginal gains, the incremental human capabilities needed to enhance your own ability in key areas and in doing so elevate your position with relation to the competition.
Focus Grow Progress delivers this in way that draws upon the way in which Gen-Z learn best. Ours is not a wall of powerpoint presentations, videos and online reading. Nor is it endless tirades from old people telling young people what they need to do to make old people happy in the workplace. It is, instead, a multi-platform, structured learning programme that gives young adults the opportunity to learn, to discuss and to work alongside their peers and also to use time with mentors – young and old – to be guided to a place of understanding.
Delivered over twelve weeks, each week in the first section draws on a single theme and within that three different windows open for learning and consideration. After this, the programme evolves from one of instruction and guidance to interaction and practise as we ensure key elements are sticky and practised within a safe environment where feedback can be shared constructively. This iterative learning stye is based upon methodologies used across leading business schools MBA programmes. Beyond that, each participant is welcomed for three years into our community which then offers regular Growth Booster webinars, access to our bank of mentors, a community of current and past participants and online learnings.
Call it hand holding, call it instructed guidance but our ways work.
