Many of us struggle with management. Balancing the demands of your own workload while guiding and developing others can be demanding, especially when tricky situations arise. These interactive sessions offer practical strategies and fresh perspectives to help you become a more effective and confident supervisor.
You will explore:
Occupational hazards
Explore common challenges such as delegation difficulties, the challenges of remote working, handling difficult conversations and maintaining trust when working with underperforming juniors
Psychological dynamics
Understand the patterns and behaviours that shape supervisory relationships, and learn how to adapt your approach to different personalities and situations
Contracting effectively
Set the tone from the outset by creating clarity, consistency and mutual expectations with your team. Learn how to create productive learning environments, ask the right questions to encourage self-sufficiency, and manage expectations on both sides
Managing relationships
Work through real life case studies to tackle common challenges such as delivering unwelcome feedback, boosting the confidence of your team, addressing resistance to feedback, and maintaining open communication between people with differing viewpoints and working styles
Coaching techniques
Apply proven coaching methods to support and develop your team while encouraging independence and growth

What others have said about training with Annmarie
It was great to have Annmarie from The Carvalho Consultancy help us think through issues of conflict, cohesion and collaboration with a focus on our work in family law. As a former family lawyer herself, Annmarie is able to tailor her sessions on the area of law we specialise in and tailor the training accordingly. Annmarie is practical and clear in her presenting style. She quickly builds trust and our whole team valued the time we had together.
Annmarie was one of the best speakers I have listened to (and I have listened to many in my 24 years of practising!). She was both hugely informative and funny and engaging at the same time. It’s unusual to have such high audience participation on these things.
Annmarie’s training on the subject of vulnerable and suicidal clients was most valuable for the family department at Anthony Gold, both in terms of client care/support, but also reminding us that client trauma is soaked up by fee earners. I have no doubt that this training will be relevant to other departments in my firm and I have already recommended it.
