CAPE People Development has launched a new suite of short, online workshops designed to help business owners, leaders and managers strengthen their people management skills at a time when budgets are tight, but expectations are higher than ever. 

CAPE People Development exists to help organisations build confident, capable people leaders by strengthening one of the most important skills in the modern workplace — having better conversations. 

The CAPE People Leader Essentials series distils insights from more than five years of delivering CAPE’s flagship developing brilliant people manager’s programme. Across hundreds of organisations, the same management challenges consistently emerge — delegating with confidence, preparing for appraisals, running effective team meetings, keeping top talent engaged and giving feedback confidently. 

In response, CAPE has created five focused, two-hour workshops that offer practical, real-world tools people leaders can use immediately. The workshops are designed to be cost-effective and accessible to organisations of all sizes. 

The workshop topics include: 
• How to delegate with confidence 
• Preparing for appraisal conversations 
• How to have effective team meetings (including remote teams) 
• How to keep your best people motivated 
• How to give feedback 

Workshops can be booked individually for £149 + VAT per person, or organisations can purchase the full series for £699 + VAT per person. 

Founder of CAPE People Development, Lynsey Kitching, said: “People leaders tell us every day that they want to lead well but they often feel under-prepared for the more challenging parts of the role. These short workshops are designed to give them confidence and clarity quickly, without the time or cost commitment of a longer programme.

She added: At a time when performance, retention and employee wellbeing matter more than ever, we’re proud to offer a practical solution organisations can access immediately.” 

The workshops are delivered live online, with multiple dates coming available throughout the year. Businesses can book individual places or reserve a set of sessions for their teams.
