Event: TRAINING – Maximising Contribution, Maximising Return

This workshop is an outcomes-focused half-day event that aims to equip the attendee with a deeper understanding of the Contribution Compass and its eight natural energy profiles. It also provides the attendee with an interactive experience and practical insight into how to apply this tool to deepen team engagement, build effective teams and improve communication and organisational learning. In this way contribution can directly drive business performance. Executives, entrepreneurs and team members alike will learn how to apply this tool to maximise contribution – individually and collectively.

Who Should Attend

This workshop is ideal for business leaders and entrepreneurs who recognise the importance of an engagement team of people doing what they love and what they do best. It is also highly valuable for anyone who would like to learn more about working with their own profile while maximising their engagement with the other profiles. Entrepreneurs, executives, managers and directors will especially benefit through the emphasis on applying this tool in a practical manner and unlocking the full value of the natural energy profiles.

About the Company

The Sirdar Contribution Compass is a profiling tool that enables people to understand both their area of maximum contribution to a team, company or organisation and how they can leverage the most value for themselves and for their organisation. When there is a balance of natural energy around a board room table, in an executive or management group, or across the operational or frontline team, there is a much more effective flow, and in turn results, for the directors, team members and the business as a whole. A company that is focused on maximising its growth opportunities should commit to consciously understanding and bringing into balance the natural energies of its board, team and key functions.
