Welcome to Human Skills

Our Human Skills programme is designed to increase the effectiveness and capacity of teams. It builds the resourcefulness, adaptability and self awareness of each individual within your team. Expect the best out of your people, and help them to flourish. If your team is ready for change, we want to work with you. Get in touch to discuss your needs.

Why Human Skills?

image

Skills based interpersonal training for your team

Research by the Harvard “Aristotle" project tells us that high performing teams need psychological safety to thrive. This is created when everyone has the chance to voice their thoughts to the group without fear of judgement or rejection. The unique and highly effective facilitation style of this programme will enable your team to go on a journey together that not only brings you closer, but strengthens bonds to be the best team you can be.

We have built this programme through Enspiral Dev Avademy and have successfully graduated over 400 students with these skills. Our hope is that our Dev Academy students graduate into a caring workforce that continues to encourage their growth.

Participants in the Human Skills programme gain shared skills and a common language to take back to their day-to-day interactions. This assists you in resolving conflict, managing difficult conversations and being aware of each other’s needs. We support you every step of the way to integrate what you learn.
