What this programme helps you work on.
Capable people can remain busy while making little progress towards something important. From Drift to Drive explores how to regain direction through clarity, information, guidance, relationships and action. Participants identify where they have stalled and choose a next step that produces learning as well as movement.
Who it suits
People who feel stuck or lack a clear next step.
The focus
Intentional action and review; confirm the delivery outline when enquiring.
Inside the programme
What you’ll explore.
These themes guide the learning. The depth and selection depend on the format and the needs you bring.
Gather and filter information
Decide what you need to know and distinguish useful input from material that merely prolongs preparation.
Seek guidance and support
Consider whose perspective could help you make a decision and which relationships support follow-through.
Act and evaluate
Choose a small action, then review what you did, what you learned and what you would change.
From ideas to action
Put it into practice.
Choose a specific next action and a time to review it.
An example to work through
Select a stalled professional goal. Name the decision you have been delaying, gather one missing piece of information and schedule a first action with a date to evaluate it.
This is an example of local application. We adapt the discussion to your situation and agreed scope.
Your practical takeaways
What you’ll work towards.
- A clearer direction for an area where progress has stalled.
- A relevant source of information or guidance.
- A scheduled next action and a reflection prompt.
The learning experience
How it works.
Facilitated learning combines explanation, discussion and reflection on participants’ own situations. Where the agreed format allows, you practise an application and decide what to try at work. Scope, duration and any follow-up are agreed around the group’s needs.
