A one day workshop suitable for anyone with leadership responsibilities within health and care.
We know that those in supervisory roles, for example team managers, seniors and practice leads, have a considerable influence on the culture of practice within services.
Being a leader in our current climate of such pressures in social care and health is an extremely challenging role, juggling competing demands whilst needing to stay true to core values and sense of purpose, making a positive difference in people’s lives.
This workshop explores some of that tension, provides a space for participants to evaluate how their behaviours influence the culture of the service they’re responsible for and how this impacts on the lives of those who draw on that support.
We’ll explore:
- What we mean by a strengths based culture.
- How it aligns with statutory and regulatory requirements.
- What great leadership looks like in that context and the behaviours that support it.
The workshop aims to motivate participants to consider practical things they can do, whilst juggling multiple priorities, to be authentic leaders and ensure strengths based, person centred practice becomes sustained and embedded in the services they work in
Who should attend?
- Anyone leading or supervising a team within health and care. This could include those who are new (or aspiring) to the role and those with a wealth of experience who want to refresh their knowledge.
- Anyone responsible for cultural change, quality of practice and delivery of care and support.
You may be working in the statutory sector, community or provider organisation, but most importantly, you’ll have the ambition to develop and sustain a culture of strengths-based and person centred approaches.
How is the workshop delivered?
The workshop can be online or in person. We recommend in person, but understand the challenges of this, so offer an online option too.
In person we have a maximum of 24 participants and online 16.

Further workshops
Workshops: Embedding strengths-based approaches
A suite of online, interactive workshops that support the application of strengths-based, community led approaches.
This suite of workshops offers quality time for reflection, discussion and shared learning in a positive, inclusive forum. Each workshop can serve as a refresher or as a first introduction to this way of working.
The workshops are ideal for anyone involved in supporting people to consider what is important to them and what may need to change to achieve those things.
They can be tailored to a particular area of service, or can be generic by bringing together a range of participants to explore a common approach, increasing understanding of a wide range of roles and how a strengths based approach can be applied.
