Workshops and Presentations from FutureShape

...are tailored to suit your business and your needs.

Rob's preference is to learn about your particular challenges and the outcomes you want, and then use his expertise as a consultant and facilitator to create the most effective intervention possible.

As a creative master of workshop and training design, Rob will craft your learning and development solution, and then facilitate the training experience to enable you to achieve the outcomes you desire.

'To illustrate the range of training available from FutureShape, here are some examples:'

One of the predictors of success is creative capacity, but many business owners, leaders and managers pay little attention to their own creative development.

This 2 day experience helps participants develop their own creativity and capacity for innovation, and also examines the way that creativity can be enhanced or discouraged in the workplace. Like all other workshops from FutureShape, this event is highly experiential and practical, as well as being a lot of fun!

What is the difference between a group of people thrown together to do a job and a team?

Research shows that the outputs and synergy of a well-developed team are significantly greater that those of a traditional work-group. However, to create an effective team, you don't have to jump off a mountain together. Effective teams understand group dynamics, members are self aware and they have absolute focus on their common purpose. FutureShape can show you how!

Change management can be delivered as a stand-alone experience, in which you experience a simulation of a change situation and learn to identify the principles, strategies and enhancers of effective change management OR the workshop can be customised to examine and work on the challenges and opportunities of an imminent change within your own organisation.

This is the first stage of training in the ideas of William Glasser and their application to life and work. Choice Theory equips participants with an understanding of human behaviour and motivation, and a set of simple but effective tools for achieving happiness and success.

Using the mental models and thinking experiences of Reality Therapy, and a variety of Neuro-Linguistic tools, participants will learn how to set goals and achieve them.

We all talk about goals - in our personal and business lives - but few of us own a clear and effective process for achieving them. "Achievable Dreams" is a life transforming experience which is also practical and focused on participants own goals and dreams.

"Know your Preferences" an experience with the Myers Briggs Type Indicator using either the type 1 scale or the expanded type 2 interpretive report.
MBTI is a wonderful tool for enabling teams, individuals and leaders to understand themselves and those around them.
(Rob Stones is accredited by the 'Australian Psychologists Press' to use the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, and to deliver MBTI workshops to groups and individuals.)

Sometimes called the 'science of excellence', NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) is an approach to experience and a set of strategies that can greatly enhance communication and self-awareness. NLP can help us to be more fully in control of our own communication and its effects on others. Through the use of NLP we can learn to model the behaviour patterns of effective communicators and use these to enhance our ability to influence others and improve the quality of our life and work.
