Why use REACH?
- A practical tool providing an easy way to remember important behaviours in the moment
- Helps you achieve your main leadership duty of building trusting relationships
- Provides a framework for learning essential leadership skills
REACH in the workplace
We hold webinars and individual coaching on how to bring this approach into life, how to get started practically and – importantly – how to develop the component skills. We also explain something of the neurobiology of change and motivation.
