Managing effectively in today's complex business environment requires a multitude of different skills. You may find yourself placed in situations that are unfamiliar and your ability to achieve an effective outcome depends on whether you are in a position to take control of the situation. At JD Training our advocacy service is two-fold. Firstly we can act on your behalf, providing a professional and effective service that will achieve results. Secondly we can give you the training, skills and support necessary for you to represent yourself in an effective, persuadable and confident manner. Either of these could dramatically increase your chance of success. We offer individual support to clients and organizations experiencing conflict. We pride ourselves on providing that special care and attention, with a practical, common sense approach which we believe is important to our clients. The emotional impact that a dispute can have on individuals may potentially affect not just those concerned, but the business itself. Listed below are just a few instances when advocacy can really help towards a positive outcome. ►Promoting ideas or business plans may be a difficult and daunting task. Expressing your plans effectively or selling an idea can be made easier with a professional advocate. Your passion, drive and enthusiasm may be put across by an advocate or it may be that we empower and support you in the advancement of your business. ►Relationships issues can be challenging. They may be emotionally charged and you may feel threatened or not listened to and respected. If boundaries are crossed it may affect an individual’s confidence. Consequences of some actions could prove to be problematic. To have a professional, independent, advocate to support and encourage can make it less stressful and speed up a positive outcome. ►Formal grievance and disciplinary processes can take over the situation, leaving the disputants feeling sidelined and disempowered. Let us help you be heard. Our professional advocate will relate the information and your voice in a clear and determined way. ►Managing disputes, disciplinary matters and grievances within the workplace, may prove to be difficult and time consuming. For effective outcomes we can provide an advocate to deal with these matters on your behalf. ►Options are very important in some advocacy cases. Being able to explore the possibilities and having access to the relevant information without prejudice or influence can some times prove difficult. Independent Advocates can help sign post you to various information and relevant bodies. ►Other people can get drawn into the conflict. With some situations that involve other people it is easier for an advocate to ask for or access information and relate information back to the involved bodies therefore taking some of the emotion away and helping to resolve the issues without it becoming too personal.
