Create a feedback culture: 360 check-ins:
Our research indicates that working on a new behaviour in conjunction with developing soft skills is a powerful combination as it helps develop new skills in all aspects of our life.
Our 360 check-ins tool helps your employees measure behaviours they would like to work on throughout the program. Michael Bunting's the Mindful Leader Framework consists of 66 behaviours your employees can select from, depending on the program they choose and their specific circumstances.
