Understand root causes, respond resourcefully and influence positive change

Challenging behaviours often appear when individuals feel overwhelmed, frustrated, unsupported or stuck. Whether it’s an apprentice shutting down, a host employer becoming reactive or a colleague being difficult, these behaviours are usually symptoms rather than the underlying problem. To positively influence behavioural change, GTO employees need to understand what drives behaviour and apply the emotional intelligence required to respond in a resourceful, human-centred way.

In this interactive and insightful workshop, award-winning facilitator Martin Probst will introduce simple yet profound tools and mindset shifts to help participants recognise hidden values, emotional triggers and unmet needs that often sit beneath the surface. Through relatable examples and reflective strategies, participants will explore how to reduce defensiveness and guide individuals toward more constructive and empowered behaviours that lead to win/win outcomes.

Learning outcomes:

• Identify common triggers and underlying needs that drive challenging behaviours
• Stay calm and respond resourcefully instead of reacting to surface behaviour.
• Encourage ownership, confidence and accountability in others.
• Create a culture that prevents challenging behaviours from arising in the first place.

This session is ideal for any GTO employee – whether working with apprentices, supporting host employers or leading internal teams – who wants to understand the root causes of challenging behaviours and respond in ways that build confidence, connection and positive change.

Interact with others in ways that build trust and collaboration

Supporting apprentices and trainees or work colleagues means navigating a wide variety of behavioural types and communication preferences. Some people speak openly, while others hold back or hesitate to share challenges. To build trust and support them effectively, Field Officers and leaders need to recognise behavioural cues and adjust the way they interact so each individual feels understood, respected and safe to open up and talk.

In this practical and highly relevant workshop, award-winning facilitator Martin Probst will introduce the DISC Model to spot behavioural patterns and communicate in ways that resonate with different personalities. Participants will explore how to build rapport more quickly, strengthen emotional bank accounts and create open conversations that help learners and work colleagues engage, take responsibility and collaborate with others.

Learning outcomes:

• Recognise the four energy types in apprentices and trainees or work colleagues.
• Apply these insights to build trust and reduce resistance.
• Communicate in ways that encourage openness and honest conversations.
• Maintain rapport by managing emotional bank accounts with others.
• Engage learners in ways that enhances relationship, responsibility and progress.

This session is ideal for Field Officers and anyone who works closely with apprentices and trainees or team members. Designed for participants to build stronger connections, adapt their communication approach and create more open, trusting conversations.

Foster trust, strengthen relationships and bring out the best in people.

A psychologically safe environment is one where people feel comfortable to speak up, ask for help, share concerns and participate without fear of judgement. For GTOs, this is essential not only to support internal teams but also to guide host employers and create healthier learning experiences for apprentices and trainees.

In this timely, engaging session, award-winning facilitator Martin Probst will share the five domains and human needs behind psychological safety that encourage openness and reduce the fear that often blocks engagement.

The workshop explores how GTO employees can positively influence the environments they work in and support. Participants will learn how to respond constructively, strengthen relationships and bring out the best in the people they interact with and mentor every day.

Learning outcomes:

• Understand the core drivers of psychological safety and why they matter in the GTO setting.
• Model leadership behaviours that build trust, openness and honest communication.
• Create safe conversations where people feel respected, supported and able to speak up.
• Guide host employers and apprentices to collaborate constructively and prevent breakdowns.
• Build a positive workplace where people engage more confidently and perform at their best.

This session is ideal for any GTO employee – Field Officers, supervisors, managers or host-employer support roles – who wants to strengthen psychological safety, improve communication and create the conditions where people feel valued, heard and confident to collaborate and contribute
