Moreno Understanding People: professional development courses, leadership and advanced therapy training programs.

Most of us work with people in one capacity or another, unfortunately for many of us it is a struggle. People, along with their often unpredictable behaviour, supply us with many challenges and opportunities, but to meet these challenges and capitalise on the opportunities, having an open but through understanding of people is essential. 

Moreno offers a range of programs focused on increasing performance through a better understanding of people. Our Leadership training programs take a unique look at leadership, focusing on the relationships that the leader must create, engage in and manage and is suitable for managers, leaders, community developers. For people who work with people our advanced therapy training programs cover the intricacies of group work, action methods and a range of creative therapeutic tools.

Understanding People is key whether you are leading people, directing people, collaborating with people, motivating people, co-ordinating people, or working with people towards a therapeutic end. Training with Moreno is focused on acquiring the skills necessary to understand people, in all their uniqueness.

Therapy has many tools and techniques available for work with clients. A large number of these rely on the use of language and verbal communication. Often clinicians, counselors, coaches and therapists finding themselves wishing they had other techniques that were less language oriented. Creative arts therapists have a much wider range of options. Action methods, such as psychodrama, sociometry and role training which are creative arts therapies using drama, offer a wide range of methods for working with clients, families and groups.

Leadership - It's about people. Two Day Master Class

Leadership is all about people. Everyone knows this. Somehow it seems to imply that the leader is able to read minds and sense body language; is able to perfectly predict the future; is able to know what happens before it happens and when things go wrong is perfectly capable of rising up in themselves and overcoming all obstacles.

These are just a few of the obviously unrealistic ideas that our culture serves us up every day through the TV, the Web, newspapers and the radio about what a leader can and should be able to do. Is it any wonder that many people, who are quite capable of taking a leadership role, are worried they don’t live up to the ideal?

If you want leadership theory there are places to find leadership theory but leadership practice is far more elusive. This 2 day workshop will examine what leadership means in your life; what gets in your way of exercising leadership as you see it; what kind of leader(s) do you aspire to be and map out a realistic human plan for you to develop yourself as a leader. You will get opportunities in small and safe ways to practice being a leader. You will have opportunities to look at situations and consider what the leadership response should be, could be and then to try it out. In the leadership game there are no tools for a leadership toolkit. In the leadership game you are the implement, the mechanism that brings about changes in others and it is you that must develop.

You will also examine in action what gets in the way of your warm up or preparation to leadership? Things like: “Will they go along with me or attack me?” or “”What if I get it wrong?” or “”How come I need to say this when they should already know?”

Outcomes from this program include:

  • A larger picture of what leadership is

  • An expanded view of where you take leadership already and what works and what doesn’t

  • Consciousness of your own leadership modeling

  • Greater clarity about what you do that gets in your won way

  • Greater clarity about other triggers for you as a leader

  • A plan for your next development steps as a leader
