Why this course is important

Scenarios for Use

Focus is designed for individuals stepping into leadership or taking on increased responsibility. It is particularly effective where organisations want to build confident, self-aware leaders who can communicate clearly, take ownership of decisions and set the right tone for their teams from the outset.

The Risk We Address

Without strong self-awareness and communication skills, leaders can unintentionally create confusion, disengagement or low trust. Focus addresses the risks associated with reactive decision-making, unclear expectations, inconsistent leadership behaviours and misalignment between individual actions and organisational goals.

Skills and Knowledge Gained

Participants develop a strong foundation in self-leadership, including emotional intelligence, communication effectiveness and personal accountability. They gain practical insight into how their behaviour impacts others, how to lead with clarity and confidence under pressure, and how to manage priorities in demanding leadership roles.

They get to know our business inside out. What I find with IED because of that long-term partnership is they're very quick and succinct at giving you a solution to a challenge you possibly didn't even know you had.

The management development programme was insightful and practical. It strengthened my leadership skills, especially in decision-making and team communication. The case studies and peer discussions were particularly valuable. I feel more confident managing complex situations and leading with clarity. Highly recommended for emerging leaders.

Thoroughly enjoyed my 3 days covering all topics. Trainer was fantastic with his knowledge and delivery. The group sessions and exercises were my particular favourite part of the course.
A Learner, Kettle Produce
We wanted our supervisors, wherever they are located, to be able to join a leadership development programme that would leave them motivated, engaged and enthusiastic about their role and working with Fugro. The feedback from supervisors has been superb, with people asking to join the programme, in such high numbers that sometimes we have had to find ways to make sure everyone was accommodated.

We find them very flexible; when we need bespoke programmes delivered, they always find a way to make it happen.
