Leader's week

Yurekli has been providing new perspectives in the business world for the past 11 years through training programs and unusual projects on management and leadership, and developed the Leaders' Week program specifically for the Turkish business sector. The first Leaders' Week was realized in 2005 and met with widespread acclaim, after which Yurekli continued its collaboration with Maynard Leigh Associates, a training company that creates a difference throughout Europe with its distinct approach, in 2006.

The program consists of three separate workshops, and aims to enhance participants' leadership skills so that they can draw out higher performance from their teams and become leaders that impress audiences with their presentations, get others to follow them and inspire enthusiasm in business.

We believe that people learn by doing, and that the learning process needs to be as entertaining as it is informative. The workshops are built around current examples and problems from the European and Turkish business world, and their interactive format provides participants an unforgettable leadership experience.

Workshop I: Leadership in action
Leadership that immediately makes a difference! A great opportunity to implement leadership skills and see how effective they are!

In the dynamic atmosphere of the business world, how can you get superior performance from your employees? This requires flexibility, creativity, and many other personality traits. The program shows participants which qualities are necessary to this end, and is based on how they implement what they learned to real life situations. It thus becomes a "learning by doing" experience where participants share their outcomes with one another during the workshop, rather than a theoretical program that explains the requirements of becoming a leader. Based on interactivity, the program enables participants to inspire themselves and others, and to achieve results that make a difference.

Workshop II: Winning presentations
The best theater performance is one that captures and inspires its audience. Be it to motive employees or acquire new business, presentations must also generate the same effect. This is a workshop that employs methods that are as challenging as they are entertaining, adapted from theater especially to the business world, enables you to communicate with confidence, and speak with passion and conviction. Instead of mundane PowerPoint presentations, the workshop aims to enable participants to deliver unforgettable presentations using a vibrant approach.

During the two-day discussion, participants discuss how to design and deliver presentations that inspire, ensure low turnover, and motivate teams to take action.

Workshop III: Team Impact With Creative Play
A unique day that reveals the sizeable impact of play in business to profitability and successful outcomes… The significance of suitably created settings in boosting team member's morale and motivation, and uncovering their innovative streak is emphasized. People perform their best as long as they are enjoying themselves. This workshop reveals the various aspects of creative play, which is necessary to achieve superior performance. Play is serious work. Research shows that play not only makes work more satisfying and fun for people; it also constitutes the basis of discovery and innovation. At this workshop, participants learn how to create an environment suitable for generating new ideas, not to be afraid to take risks, create a fun atmosphere at the workplace, and attain extraordinary rather than expected results.
