Navigator
What is Navigator?
The Navigator programme is a powerful and pioneering development course for men. It is the first personal and work development programme in the UK specifically researched and developed for non-management and junior management men.
Who is it for?
It is designed for men from all backgrounds, ages and stages of their lives who want to examine their lives at home and work and to take the next steps in their lives more consciously. For employers, the programme enables them to develop their staff to their fullest potential and gives staff the determination to develop within the organisation.
What does it consist of?
The programme is delivered over four months and consists of five simple ingredients:
- A superb, especially researched and written workbook, regularly up-dates and embracing all the material for the entire programme.
- Four action-packed one-day workshops spread over three months.
- The provision of real, relevant and inspiring role models.
- The encouragement of effective networks within the group.
- Peer coaching to enable long term, sustainable progress.
What does it cover?
- Realistic self assessment
- Skills assessment
- Identifying individual values and motivation
- Setting clear goals
- Communicating assertively and effectively
- Putting yourself across positively
- Presenting a positive image
- Improving work/life balance and men's health
- Building better relationships
What results can I expect?
The results relate to the objectives each participant sets himself on the first workshop. Many men use the programme to get results at work, such as new qualifications, promotions, new skills, a new attitude to change and a massive boost of energy, motivation and determination.
Others focus on results in their personal life, such as sorting out difficult relationships, improving health, dealing with stress and gaining a work/life balance.
How do I know it works?
Managers have said:
'Following Navigator, men are much more focused on their careers, rather than seeing work a 'just a job'. It has broadened their horizons and shown how they can make things happen for themselves, rather than waiting for things to come to them.'
If you are interested in attending the programme this academic year, please book on via Trent Self Service or fill in the Navigator Application form and return to Staff Learning and Development by 31st January 2013.
