Who this is for

People Leaders is designed for anyone who manages or leads people, future leaders who want a head start, and people who look after the HR function in an organisation.

You can be from medium, small and large organisations, and from any industry.

Why you should do this programme

People Leaders combines increasing HR knowledge and skills with on the job learning.

Often people leaders are expected to know how to lead without the support and development to do it really well.

To solve this, we created People Leaders - seven workshops (in person) that cover the essential areas of HR.

Workshops are designed to give participants the opportunity to put their learning into practice in a safe and supported environment.

Participant feedback

“I highly recommend Robyn’s People Leaders course to anyone in a leadership or management role. Robyn and her team are incredibly knowledgeable and able to impart their knowledge in a way that is both informative and easily understood. The use of real-life practical examples and scenarios help to embed the learning. I have come away from the course with a greater understanding of my role as a people leader, some practical tools to assist me to get the best out of my team (and deal with the crunchy end of poor performance and disciplinary issues)!, and a workbook and resources which I am already putting to use in my day-to day management. The workbook will also be a valuable reference in the years to come.

I cannot commend Robyn and her team highly enough for putting together a course such as this, for leaders who are after practical guidance.“

“Excellent course that covers nuts and bolts of being a Manager/ Team Leader AND provides a positive environment where we can share our journey, insights and the surprising moments that teaches us things we didn’t’ know we needed!  Every week you will come away with real and useable actions to create valued improvements for you, your team and your workplace.”

“Absolutely loving the leadership workshops run by RYHR. So relevant and easy to understand. Small groups so easy and comfortable to interact and contribute.”
