Leadership & Team Development for HR and L&D | APB

For HR and L&D leaders

Help your managers handle the people issues that keep coming back to you.

The feedback conversation gets delayed. The same misunderstanding resurfaces. Delegated work lands back with the manager. You get pulled in again while the issue continues.

Kelvin Jenkins leads practical workshops and facilitated team sessions where your people work through situations like these, practice a different approach, and leave with tools for the next workday.

Start with one team or manager group and the challenge you need them better prepared to handle.

A free 45-minute conversation with Kelvin to clarify the challenge, explore an appropriate approach, and identify the next step.

Does either situation sound familiar?

When your team keeps misreading each other.

You want people to understand how their colleagues work and have a better conversation about their differences.

After a working-styles session, a leader who had expected another routine HR training described the experience as “amazing.” He shared colleagues’ appreciation for understanding one another and asked for a session focused on his own team.

When leaders need a better response in the moment.

You want leaders to leave knowing what they can try in the next difficult conversation.

After an emotional-intelligence session co-facilitated by Kelvin, all 20 day-of evaluation respondents said they intended to try applying empathy and active-listening techniques. Their written responses named specific next steps, including pausing before responding and listening more carefully.

Give your people a learning experience they can see themselves in.

We build around the conversations and situations your people actually face. Through reflection, discussion, and supported practice, participants examine their own habits, hear another perspective, and try something different.

The experience connects what people learn to what they can do next.

  • Recognize the pattern.Make a familiar challenge visible without turning the session into a judgment of the people in the room.
  • Practice a different response.Work through a relevant conversation, decision, or handoff while support is present.
  • Choose a next step.Identify where to use the learning back at work. Add follow-through when the engagement calls for it.

What do you need people to do differently?

Address the feedback conversation earlier. Ask a question before taking work back. Check an assumption before it becomes friction.

We build the experience around a specific change you want to support, with relevant practice and tools people can take back to work.

Start with the group and challenge in front of you.
