Having previously worked with Viterra, we were delighted when Jane Connor, Human Resources Manager of Viterra in Thame , contacted us to help prospective new team leaders to transition from their current roles towards future leadership. The brief required them to become confident communicators and gain greater understanding of how they can become effective team mentors, on the way to becoming team leaders.

SYLOs’ Lead Trainer André Bozon worked closely with Jane, to create a Team Leader training programme that would be both engaging and interactive, while teaching the participants the skills they will need to be confident in their Leadership skills, whilst also being able to Lead their teams to get the best out of them.

The training course was for 1 day and covered the following:

• Being a Team Mentor – excitement and concerns about their new role
• Team Leader Cycle – confidence in their strengths and where they need to improve.
• The Mentoring Mindset – how to mentor a team successfully
• Communication Skills – how we communicate via different channels and the impact of these channels
• Mentoring the Best from Others – understanding the role and behaviours of a great mentor

The course was designed to be engaging and encouraging – like the leaders André was teaching the delegates to be!
