Start by investing in your people's professional development - it's the best investment you'll make!
Could cultivating better workplace cultures that enable workers and volunteers to feel more consciously capable and resilient through an investment in skills development, hold the key to your future organisational success? Award winning training providers Mortal Fools think so!
CONNECT is Mortal Fools’ high impact training and professional development programme delivered in person or online, for organisations, teams and individuals.
They’ve been delivering CONNECT training to the likes of SeedLegals, Newcastle University, National Trust, Wakefield Council, Virgin Money, Ryder Architecture, Muckle LLP, INTO Global, Sunderland Culture, Arts Council Ireland and many more clients.
The CONNECT programme offers dynamic and effective approaches to developing leadership practice, engaging and impactful communication, presentation, and persuasion skills, managing difficult conversations, embedding growth mindset, overcoming imposter syndrome, investing into team dynamics, digital presence and emotional resilience & well-being.
“Our experience with Mortal Fools was amazing! They deliver leadership training with a difference; it’s fun, impactful and delivers meaningful learning experiences in a very memorable way. We’ve never laughed and learnt so much at the same time.” – Nicola Leyden Director of HR – Muckle LLP
The demand for CONNECT training has never been higher – the shifting business landscape over the last few years, for many organisations has revealed skills gaps, fixed mindset culture, low levels of staff wellbeing, inability to innovate and a general apathy and pandemic burn out.
First, we had, The Great Resignation and “Silent Quitting”; then emerged the epidemic of Burn Out from years of toxic “Hustle Culture” and “The Great Exhaustion” – thanks to the historic normalisation of unrealistic workloads coupled with the expectation of high performance on skeleton resources. Now, Gen Z & Gen Alpha are entering the workforce, looking for organisations to work in that align with their values, provide enrichment, and work life balance.
We are seeing this play out in real time across our workplaces – whilst this is challenging, for many businesses it has also been a catalyst for new people centric thinking; unlocking a better understanding of what people need to do their job well, the type of employer they want to be, and balancing business needs and people needs.
Mortal Fools are seeing more and more organisations go through this thinking and many are ending up at an inescapable conclusion: investing in their people through training and professional development, is investing in high performance, sustainability, and organisational future proofing.
This has led many leaders and organisations to seek out CONNECT training, as an investment in skills development and team dynamics, enabling growth mindset thinking, conscious organisational culture shifts, higher levels of motivation, increased tolerance to change and resilience, enhanced personal confidence and capability and improved staff well-being.
Continuous investment in people benefits not only the individuals – through their skills development, confidence, and motivation – but the business itself, increasing staff retention and productivity, which benefits us all. We’re proud to work with other businesses to support them in that journey.
Kiz Crosbie, CEO Mortal Fools
The CONNECT programme was designed in response to the contemporary business and professional landscape and is grounded in real world practical applicability. It’s not a passive or instructive “how to”, it’s an active exploration of possibility and self-discovery through a unique combination sharing theory and research from the social sciences with creative sector practice intertwined through-out.
Mortal Fools are hosting a digital showcase of the CONNECT training programme on 1st May, 10am for folks with training needs in their organisation or those interested in employee/ volunteer wellbeing & skills development and organisational culture shifts & leadership.
