This four-part professional development programme has been designed for MGI's NextGen community and professionals from across the network.
Each module focuses on a different aspect of professional growth, from increasing professional impact and building confidence to enhancing communication and navigating feedback. Whether you're stepping into a new role, deepening your technical expertise or continuing to develop your career, you'll gain practical skills you can apply immediately.
The programme is delivered by Stretching the City, a leadership development consultancy renowned for its coaching programmes that build confidence, strengthen performance and create lasting behaviour change.
Creating clarity, confidence and sustainable performance
One of the biggest challenges in early career is balancing competing priorities, stakeholder expectations and rising workloads. This session gives participants practical tools to manage expectations well — protecting both their performance and their wellbeing.
What we’ll cover:
- How expectations are formed and how to manage them at work
- Strategies for prioritisation and managing workload
- Setting boundaries professionally — saying no with confidence
- Handling competing demands across colleagues, clients and projects
- A personal performance framework participants can come back to
Participants will leave with:
- Confidence to manage stakeholders and workload with clarity
- Practical techniques for prioritising under pressure
- A personal framework for sustainable performance
- A between-session action to put it into practice before Module 3
