Rhys Davis from Armstrong Watson shares his story of how PDW helped him with his professional development goals, and gives some great tips on how you can start your own journey towards self-improvement!
Management Development Training
'Game changing' 'in house' management training courses for people managers, to maximise team engagement and performance.
Management Training
We adopt a unique practice and feedback-based approach with the use of high-quality filming of simulated scenarios to drive self-awareness and develop new behaviours.
Management behaviour is a critical factor in how ‘enabling’ or ‘disabling’ a manager is of others. So getting management behaviour right can pay huge dividends, the most significant of which is an improvement to people engagement.
Businesses that have high levels of ‘engagement’ will achieve higher productivity, better loyalty and improved advocacy. Put simply, this reduces costs, and gives a greater likelihood of improved revenues.
Our unique & proven management training solution will give your business the very best chance of transforming the behaviours of your people managers, and your business performance.
So What Can We Transform in Your Delegates?
Management training can focus on any aspect of management behaviour. Identifying clearly what you want managers to do more effectively, and how this must affect performance & results is of course essential.
So with a PDW Group ‘in-house’ training programme, you have ultimate flexibility to decide where you want the transformations to be.
Our courses & programmes can focus broadly and/or deeply on one or more of the key competency areas below.
- Self-awareness of own behavioural preferences. Understanding how these may be helping or hindering people management influence & performance
- Transforming overall performance management capability and confidence amongst people managers
- Connecting with team members, building trust, engagement & strong relationships
- Setting boundaries, direction & goals with and for others
- Giving high-quality feedback that helps others repeat or improve what they do
- Delegating tasks and authority, and empowering appropriately
- Coaching and developing others to improve knowledge, behaviours and confidence or solve a specific issue
- Conducting ‘difficult’ performance or behaviour based conversations, such that the receiver changes what they do
- Conducting an effective performance review so that it adds value to the receiver and maintains or improves performance
- Running effective meetings such that they are motivational and productive for all involved

Our Unique Approach to Leadership Development
The management training approach we use to transform management capability and confidence is unique, highly effective and is unlike any other solution available in the market.
It uses no slides, no large book of notes, and no lecture style.
You can take a look at our video and click the ‘want to know how it works?’ button below to help you to bring our management training proposition to life.
We have broken the mould with this type of management training. All our research and experience tells us that when it comes to behavioural change in adults, most training doesn’t work!

People Assessment
I often hear myself say “Great opportunity to use your PDW skills” – or, in shorthand, just “PDW!” This has been the most effective training I have done in my career – and to call it training downplays it.
Particularly good feedback from the team on all the practise sessions as this really brings the theory to life – and a great team helping to do that.
Good structure, very well facilitated and the combination of project and personal skills training meant that it was easy to see how the personal skills could be practically applied.
