Relational Leaders

Develop the leadership communication skills that will shape the longevity of your role as a senior leader.

Empower your leadership skills

It has never been harder to be a leader – this is why investing in your skills is so important.

Busy schedules and jam-packed caseloads can make even the strongest leaders struggle with connecting. We at OnePlusOne want to help you. In response to today’s challenges, we have developed an evidence-driven CPD-accredited training course that will allow you learn how to overcome barriers, enhance emotional competence, and encourage an empathetic workplace.

Why Relational leaders is the solution for you

Have you noticed these challenges in your workplace?
  • Disengaged teams and personality clashes impacting collaboration and morale.

  • Communication breakdowns creating conflict instead of connection.

  • Toxic and stressful work cultures and environments.

  • Overwhelmed staff with service users feeling unheard and unseen.

When stress levels are high, it can affect your ability to lead others in the right direction.

Our Relational leaders course addresses these issues head on, empowering you to create a safe, collaborative, and efficient environment – allowing you to lead with purpose and positive impact.

Steph Millward
A learning and development professional, specialising in conflict resolution.
"My mission is to empower leaders to adapt, grow, and overcome challenges."

''Early in my career, I recognised that creating strong relationships is essential for building trust and positively influencing behaviour. I have trained hundreds of professionals to develop successful workplace relationships, and resolved thousands of individual workplace disputes before they’ve had a chance to escalate – including averting collective industrial action in an NHS Trust. I hold qualifications in careers guidance and coaching, conciliation and mediation, and training facilitation.'' 

''I want leaders everywhere to have access to the essential relational skills that I use every day, which is why I’m dedicating my time to training others in the art and science of relational capability and conflict resolution.Married for 30 years, I cherish family time with my two daughters and one granddaughter. I love giving back to my local community, which is why I co-founded and chaired the Ilkley Cycling Club in Yorkshire – the UK's largest cycling club with over 1,000 members, 40% of whom are women.''  

''I am excited to share my expertise with you through OnePlusOne’s evidence-based Relational leaders training, so that you can overcome the challenges you face and achieve your own successes."

What makes Relational leaders unique?

Most leadership courses teach you core skills – but what happens when you arrive in the real world and those skills suddenly don’t fit?  

Using our unique relational capability framework, Relational leaders teaches you a new way of thinking so that you can actually use your skills in your everyday life. No matter the situation you’ll know WHICH skills to use, WHEN to use them, HOW to adapt them, and WHY context matters.

A good leader knows how to communicate. A relational leader knows how to inspire trust in others, build meaningful connections, and support their team to get the best results for their organisation.

What will you gain from this course?

Relational leaders training gives you the skills and tools to make an impact, build trust, create connection, and foster positive team dynamics. You’ll receive:
  • Applicable, practical self-awareness and empathy skills.

  • Tools to navigate difficult conversations while building trust.

  • The ability to connect with others in a more meaningful, productive way.

  • The confidence to be a leader who is rooted in understanding and driven by impact.

  • CPD hours with a certificate of completion.

Without these skills, you will still be dealing with:

  • Tense, unproductive meetings.

  • Broken professional relationships.

  • Unsuccessful client results.

  • Disappointed and unmotivated staff.
