Empowering through Effective Delegation - A Leading Teams Workshop
2024-11-28 12:30 - 14:30 | Zoom – Empowering through Effective Delegation
Delegation is too often not done well or not done at all. Surprisingly, delegation is not a skill that comes naturally to most. We’ll cover why and when to delegate and how to create conditions for success, including giving clear, unambiguous instructions, setting expectations and uncovering and removing the barriers to productivity.
We’ll also look at what to do if delegation isn’t getting the job done. The workshop includes a number of powerful tools for knowing what to delegate and how to do this effectively.
Agenda

4 Reasons to Delegate
3 Core Elements of Delegation
What, How, Who, When of Delegation
Eisenhower Matrix Tool

Effective Onboarding & Induction Workshop: Setting Your New Hires Up for Success
2025-07-03 13:00 - 17:00 | Toowoomba Sports Ground Function Room, Arthur Street, Toowoomba, Queensland, 4350, Australia
A well-designed onboarding and induction program is critical to the success of your new hires and to protecting your investment in recruitment and training. The costs associated with hiring and training are often underestimated, and failure to onboard effectively can lead to avoidable setbacks
An effective onboarding process not only helps new employees build trust, understand your company’s values, and set clear expectations but also equips them with the tools and knowledge needed to become productive quickly. Research shows that a new hire’s experience in their first few months shapes their long-term success and engagement.
In this group workshop, Focus HR will guide you through the creation of a structured, comprehensive onboarding process that delivers a positive first impression and accelerates new employee success. When employees ramp up quickly, they gain the respect of their managers, boosting their confidence and fostering a sense of belonging—key ingredients for long-term success and retention.
Workshop Details:

A half-day group workshop focused on developing and customising your onboarding and induction process.
Opportunity to workshop with other businesses also participating in this group workshop, expanding your knowledge base and learning from shared experiences.

Whether you’re stepping into a new role, navigating a career transition, or looking to strengthen your leadership presence, Focus HR’s Lead with Focus program is designed to empower you to thrive.
Leadership isn’t just about being at the top — it’s about mastering the crucial moments that shape your growth and impact. The “middle” is where real day-to-day leadership happens, where you grow or refine your skills, balance competing priorities, and develop the resilience to navigate challenges.
The Lead with Focus program is designed to empower you as a middle manager to thrive in your daily leadership role. This 12-month journey of growth and skills-building will equip you with the tools, strategies, and insights you need to lead with confidence, clarity, and effectiveness.
Throughout the program, you will dive into essential leadership principles, leveraging key frameworks like DiSC and Blanchard’s Management Essentials to better understand yourself and your team. The program emphasises not only foundational skills but also the real-world applications that make these principles valuable in day-to-day scenarios. Lead with Focus also incorporates online workshops that cover key leadership skills such as Time Management, Communication, and Delegation among others. You will also gain valuable peer support and learning opportunities from your cohort by joining in quarterly Focus Forums.
This program is crafted to help you direct your leadership focus — not just during high-stakes moments, but in every interaction, every decision, every day. Join us and become the leader your team can rely on, every step of the way.
This 12-month leadership program is a blended learning experience:

An introductory 2-hour face to face workshop covering the key habits that transform good leaders into great leaders
3 x ¾ day face to face workshops – including DiSC for Management, Blanchard Management Essentials and Conversational Capacity
