Enhancing interpersonal skills with DISC
Improve connections, communication and collaboration.
DISC is a highly beneficial tool to assist us in recognising differences between people. It helps us understand ourselves and others better. By accepting, respecting, and adapting to these differences, we can build long-term relationships and positive influence.
You will complete a self-evaluation survey in the lead-up to the training, an important element to learn more about your own personality traits and spot behavioural preferences in others. You will walk away from this interactive group session, designed by expert facilitator Martin Probst, with the knowledge of how to recognise other people's behavioural patterns so you can modify your communication to achieve win/win outcomes.
Recommended length: Half-day
Mastering effective communication
Get the message across with positive impact.
Even though we communicate all day long, communication is not as simple as it seems and what we say can easily be misunderstood. Therefore, effective communication is about the response we get.
This interactive session, designed by expert facilitator Martin Probst, will equip you with powerful techniques to manage self-talk more effectively. You will also acquire the tools for clear, confident, and concise communication, and learn how to get your message across with positive impact.
Recommended length: Half-day
Managing conflict with confidence
Navigate challenging situations successfully.
Positive relationships and win/win outcomes are critical success contributors, and a range of conflicts can easily interrupt this. We must acquire the expertise and confidence to manage our emotional state effectively while in the heat of the moment to avoid negative effects on our wellbeing, morale and productivity.
This engaging session, led by Martin Probst, a leading expert in human-centred leadership, is designed to equip you with a deep understanding of what is driving conflict and how to achieve positive outcomes when dealing with employees, colleagues, managers or any other people you regularly interact with. You will acquire well-tested strategies to identify, deal with and resolve conflicts skilfully and more confidently.

Coaching and mentoring for growth
Guide, support, and unlock your team's potential.
In today’s competitive employment market, effective coaching and mentoring skills for leaders, managers, and supervisors are essential. By facilitating meaningful, purpose-driven conversations, leaders can foster individual growth, enhance team performance, and cultivate a supportive workplace environment. This not only increases staff retention but also assists in unlocking the full potential of individuals and teams.
In this engaging workshop, award-winning facilitator Martin Probst will equip you with the essential tools and strategies to confidently coach, mentor, and guide others toward long-term success, building a strong foundation for future leadership.
Recommended length: Half-day
Presenting with intent and impact
Become confident, speak up and be heard.
Many of us struggle with public speaking or addressing even small groups. However, the ability to assertively communicate and maintain professional credibility can significantly influence our success. Overcoming nerves, connecting with the audience, and delivering a message with confidence are essential skills in today's professional environment.
This interactive session, facilitated by expert speaker Martin Probst, will equip you with the tools needed to enhance your professional presence, deliver assertive verbal and non-verbal communication, and engage your audience by leveraging your personal power.
Recommended length: Half-day
Embracing the art of networking
Build powerful connections for long-term success.

This interactive session, led by award-winning facilitator Martin Probst, will deepen your understanding of professional networking and boost your confidence to connect and build robust relationships. You’ll learn how to leverage your network to enhance growth and create win-win opportunities.
Getting clarity on the vision, mission and values
Create a clear organisational vision, backed by definite plans.
A compelling vision, mission, and set of values form the foundation of a strong, purpose-driven organisation. Yet, without clarity and alignment, even the best strategies can fall flat.
In this strategic session, award-winning facilitator Martin Probst will guide your leadership team to define and align around a shared organisational identity. Together, you’ll craft a meaningful vision, articulate a clear mission, and identify core values that inspire action. The session also equips participants with practical tools to translate that vision into measurable goals and break those goals into actionable steps—ensuring clarity, commitment, and momentum toward long-term success.

Boosting personal effectiveness
Embrace smart productivity hacks.
We are often obsessed with time and get distracted by the whirlwind of daily tasks, which by the end of the workday may make us wonder what we actually achieved. Personal effectiveness is about knowing when and where to direct efforts to achieve fruitful outcomes.
In this engaging session, led by expert facilitator Martin Probst, you will learn how to reduce interruptions and optimise your day by using a variety of productivity hacks that can make all the difference. These techniques are easy to learn and can help you work smarter, not harder.

Delivering productive feedback
Foster a culture of growth through feedback mastery.

You will leave with powerful feedback techniques designed to promote growth and development in yourself and others.

Moving from stress to strength
Ditch the overwhelm and step forward with confidence.
Stress has become one of the greatest challenges in today’s fast-paced and ever-changing world. Pressure can be a powerful motivator when managed well. But left unchecked, it drains our energy, creates job dissatisfaction, impacts our wellbeing, and affects how we show up at work and in life.
The good news? With the right tools and strategies, you can shift from reactive stress responses to intentional, grounded strength. In this practical and insightful session, Martin Probst, a leading expert in human-centred leadership, guides you to identify your personal stress triggers, manage unhelpful thinking, and build inner strength and confidence to thrive under pressure.

Recommended length: Half-day
Chairing productive meetings
Plan, conduct, and follow up for success.
