The Confident Manager training programme helps hesitant, uncertain managers become confident managers and leaders.
It runs over two, engaging and energetic half day sessions, 9am – 1pm, on 13 and 20 November in the Junction room at Temple Campus.
It’s perfect training for all managers – new, junior, mid and even senior – who have been plunged into the role without the training and guidance that every manager should have!
The programme covers:
– Communication – how to really listen and ask great questions
– Giving and receiving great feedback that’s objective, constructive and useful
– The cornerstones of successful management – knowing your task, your team and each individual
– Building trust with and in your team
– Delegating effectively – so the job gets done right, on time and on budget
– Managing your time to maximise you and your team’s effectiveness
The Confident Manager is delivered by Alan Mead, previously with Bray Leino and an award winning trainer (4 IPA CPD Gold & 3 IPA Platinum Awards) with over 30 years’ experience working in Agencies, gained at all levels, from AE to Board Director.
“I think your training has been brilliant, very different to other training where I feel like I just have acronyms regurgitated at me. I’d really recommend it!”

Note about the content and space
Hosted and supported by Film Bath, The Belonging Network, Frank Conversations and partners, because we want to have more of these type of conversations, in supportive spaces, bringing stories and voices not seen or heard enough, and have them lead the conversations.
We therefore welcome people to bring their friends, family, children, students and colleagues, with the understanding that this some of this content is a hard, important watch, and that people need to know we can make space for them and their stories and experiences to be heard at any age with your consent.
To keep our event and networking opportunities as varied as possible, we were keen to offer our members more creative ways of networking, so we teamed up with Gary Pratt to organise these networking sessions with groups of 12 people (similar to our members’ lunches) who are keen to don their walking boots and explore the stunning countryside around Bristol and Bath. A great opportunity for members to make some new connections within the industry whilst getting some much needed fresh air!
The location of this walk will be Solsbury Hill, just outside Bath. We’ll confirm the exact meeting point via email once you sign up. Towards the end of the walk, we’ll be stopping at a pub for anyone who fancies a drink or snack.
During the walk, you’ll get to spend 10-15 minutes chatting to each of your fellow walkers. No agenda as such, just clear open space for thinking, connecting, sharing experiences about your businesses and exploring possibilities. The BCI team will be joining the group too so it’s a great chance to chat to them about getting the most out of your BCI membership.
This event is exclusively for BCI members and you can book through the button below. The ticket price is £10 +VAT.
