In previous years, Alan has delivered interactive workshops covering key subjects including coaching and confidence -  essential for those wanting to excel in their roles, especially leaders.

This year, more than ever, businesses need to get the best from their people, so Alan will explain how you can motivate staff more effectively.  Many companies and leaders restrict their motivation techniques to financial compensation and ‘team building events’.  These may be motivating for some, but there are many other ways to increase motivation levels and therefore improve individual and team performance.

This year’s DJC President, Nicola Janes, has first hand experience of a Motivation Review conducted by Extra Dimension, and will be sharing the results and impact that it has had on her.

The event will be at The Cottonwood Boutique Hotel, East Overcliff Drive, Bournemouth

“I’m really pleased with the level of detail we received from this project. Understanding the motivators within my team has lead me to adapt my leadership style, just a little, to give the best possible results.” Claire Jarvis, Director of Communications, Siemens plc

In our initial meeting we identified the issues I was having with my work/life balance, the changes in moving from a small business environment, feeling effective at my new role and the habit of taking stress home. Talking through these issues with an impartial professional was invaluable. We found ways of making negatives positive, outlined my career ambitions and looked at quick wins that would increase my confidence. My time with Alan gave me clarity and helped me address my own issues effectively.

After three sessions with Alan I had completely taken control at work and was driving my new career forward. I was communicating well with management, had a great work/life balance and was handling my workload effectively and proactively. My immediate managers and senior team noticed the change, and were very happy to have the positive me back!

My sessions put me back on track, the steps I took to get there all seem logical in hindsight but when you’re in the middle of a negative situation sometime it takes a fresh pair of eyes to help you see through the fog, and Extra Dimension did just that. Thank you Alan!”

Warren Munson, Director of Dorset based accountancy firm Inspire, is dedicated to the growth of his business through the training and development on his team based in Poole. Following on from his own Motivation Review back in 2010, Inspire completed Motivation Reviews for the 33-strong team which highlighted that Inspire was ready to implement a larger leadership team. With that decision, came great opportunity for the bright sparks within Warren’s business.

In the last half of 2011, two of Inspire’s top qualified accountants became Assistant Managers. These were new roles created to help Warren manage the workforce effectively and ensure all staff members had the support and direct leadership they need. Mark Daniels and Cheryl Davis, now with a team of 15 between them. Warren says “from their Motivation Reviews, carried out by Extra Dimension, it was very clear that both Mark and Cheryl would need to be equipped with new skills before embarking on these new roles. As great as they are at accountancy, they just needed a little confidence boost with the leadership and team management aspects so we invested in some Leadership Coaching and Appraisal Training with Alan Adair at Extra Dimension”.

Warren continues “the Motivation Review helped me understand what Mark and Cheryl needed to step seamlessly into the roles of Assistant Managers. They have surpassed my expectations, and although are still building on experience, it’s great to see the business growing with more job satisfaction and security for the teams they manage”.

Warren is keen to look to the future.  With the help of Extra Dimension, Inspire is now set upon a path of employee engagement and retention that is second to none, with a great management team that is being built from within.  Warren says “every employee matters to me. I want the best people in my business, but I also want them to be nurtured and given every opportunity to develop”.
