Outline of the Programme
The number one challenge of NHS and other care organisations is retaining and attracting colleagues in an already stretched service. One overlooked solution is ‘interpersonal resilience’.

In this 60 minute masterclass, you will cover:
- What is interpersonal resilience and why its crucial to surviving such difficult times
- Understand the difference between an Inward & Outward mindset
- Why we build our relationships and interpersonal resilience through how we regard others (Outward Mindset drives civility)
- Self reflection and discussion where ‘I’ might be negatively impacting others and reducing others resilience
- Tools and ideas for how we can play our part to create a resilient team or culture

This workshop is part of our Complete Leadership Series, leading and managing teams, to help you target areas of development leaders and managers have identified as top priorities right now.
About the session
This interactive workshop is aimed at managers at all levels and roles, and those aspiring to their first management role. Join us to gain insight and skills in understanding and responding to shifting team dynamics.
Most managers have found themselves leading a team through periods of change and uncertainty; it can be challenging feeling that as the manager you are the person with all the answers. Creating a sense of shared endeavour is essential but can be difficult to achieve.
Developing this leadership skill can support you in empowering and engaging your teams though relationships grounded in trust. If you recognise the need to support your team through change, and to develop your skills in increasing engagement, this workshop could be for you.
This session will explore
- The lifecycle of teams
- Teams and teaming
- The impact of change & uncertainty
- Finding “the best of what is” within the team
NB: This workshop is focused on the leadership skill set and is not positioned as coach training, or as coaching CPD. However, practicing coaches are welcome to attend.
Who is this session for
The NHS Leadership Academy provides leadership development for people of all backgrounds and experiences across health and care.
This session is open to Midlands and South East regions.

This workshop is part of our Complete Leadership Series, creating a great team culture, to help you target areas of development leaders and managers have identified as top priorities right now.
About the session
This is an interactive, inclusive and practical learning burst style session to support line managers and team leads in creating, sustaining and in some cases resetting their team culture.
NHS Team Leaders, Managers and Clinical Leads shoulder an ever-increasing burden of responsibility as they are required to actively manage an increasing acute combination of competing factors facing their teams and the services they provide: financial constraints, backlog demands, workforce shortages, staff morale, over-reliance on regulation and a centrally-driven target culture.
This is an opportunity for individuals to access practical, easy-to-apply methods and approaches which are designed to support their teams. Providing individuals with invaluable thinking time to consider their teams current culture baseline, and the strength of the team’s foundations combined with a focus on how to support teams to move forward.
The approach
- We create a psychologically safe space for people to learn and share experiences developing new and trusted connections.
- We are agile in our delivery building trust and connection. We are able to draw on extensive professional knowledge, expertise and psychological practice to ensure that the sessions can flex to meet needs that might present on the day.
- We offer in the moment coaching feedback, and small group working to help build confidence and ensure a participative session.
- We use a supportive facilitating style to encourage individuals to reflect and stretch their thinking and their abilities.
- We provide opportunity for practice and consideration of application – to ensure new approaches, tools, and techniques are explored before they leave the session
We hope participants leave the session feeling confident, able and willing to ground their learning in their current context and implementation. The focus is on the transfer of learning and its application, ensuring that all material covered in the ‘virtual’ classroom can be used the same day in the work environment.
We run a ‘last in the room’ approach to ending each virtual learning session. Rebekah is always the last one to leave the session and invites people who may have specific issues, or team challenges, or simply didn’t feel able to speak out during the session to stay on the call.

About the workshop
With the ongoing pressures working in health and social care, being compassionate at work is more important than ever. Yet this can be easier said than done.
Many of us are emotionally and physically drained. We’re worried about the wellbeing of our colleagues and ourselves. Many of our teams are experiencing chronic stress. The pressures on our services are immense. And as human beings, a lot of us are far more fragile than usual.
Under such pressures, we need human connection and mutual support more than ever. And yet under such stress, compassion and tolerance can quickly evaporate. Despite all our best intentions, creating and leading inclusive, compassionate cultures in the current context is courageous, challenging work.
This interactive masterclass offers you a safe learning space to:
- consider how we create and sustain a climate of psychological safety and embed a sense of connection amongst our colleagues
- understand why and how compassion can wane or feel difficult in the current context
- apply practical tools to enhance your own compassionate leadership practice
- explore how to model inclusive, compassionate leadership, even when the pressure is on
- develop strategies for self-compassion
You will be encouraged to consider thought-provoking ideas, share views, discuss issues with colleagues, reflect on your own practice, apply your learning to your own context and ask any questions you have.
Who is this session for:
The NHS Leadership Academy provides leadership development for people of all backgrounds and experiences across health and care.
This is aimed at Emerging Leaders: For those in front-line and operational management roles looking to improve and enhance their leadership capability
