The Leadership Train hits Kaduna, April 2011

There is no better time to talk about Leadership Development than around elections, and so we did as learning Impact NG facilitated a one-day leadership development programme for the Staff of Unity Bank Plc at their very impressive Falalu Bello Training Center in Kaduna. participants were engaged in learning exercises that helped to build a better understanding of Emotional Intelligence, and how to win with people. They used a simple model for discovering different personalities and analysing the communication preferences for each personality group. We also practised empathic listening skills, and some of the 25 Ways to WIN with people by John Maxwell. Learning Impact NG also had a debut of its new facilitator Dennis Odeigah, who joined the team in the previous week, and regular players - Abioye Oke and Gbitse Barrow were on hand to facilitate the unique experience for the ladies and genlemen in lemon green (unity bank colours).
