Topics for Derek Percival

  • Total focus
    The difference between focus and total focus is how to turn the seemingly impossible into the possible. Have you always wanted to be able to remember people’s names? How does it make you feel when people remember yours? Total focus teaches you how to remember names, numbers, dates, important presentations and much more…whilst having fun along the way.
  • Team efficiency
    Learn about the 4-team quadrants of ‘My Way-No Way-Our Way and The Way’ Derek’s streetwise approach and unique experiential exercises reveal many traits and insights into real life situations. From here we can build on team spirit, how to improve communications, create a leadership culture and emphasise the importance of a common goal.
  • Life balance
    With all the ever-increasing work pressures and demands placed on us these days we tend to forget one thing. (ourselves) Using the B*A*S*I*C strategy Derek delivers a powerful message based on the fact if you’re not happy; you are the only one who can change it! He provides ideas and realistic examples of how to overcome the obstacles that you will inevitably face and (hopefully) how to develop a better Work/Life Balance.
  • Facilitation
    Identify the key aspects in your future and use the expertise, which exists within your group, to plan future success. Key issues, products and services are identified, analysed and blueprinted for future success. We show you how to use your team's own expertise to find real solutions within the group.
  • Self awareness
    A key ingredient in all successful leaders is the ability to understand and relate to others. As a necessary prerequisite, we must first achieve a level of self-understanding. Enhance personal understanding of our own individual drivers, style and emotional responses. To recognise personal strengths and areas that need awareness and provide time for personal reflection and action planning on a regular basis.
  • The leadership ladder
    Genuine Leadership, real leadership has 6 fundamental and universal requirements. These apply regardless of the leader’s personal style, the size or nature of the team, the industry, project or timelines. All leaders will benefit by auditing their own leadership style against the Leadership Ladder.

Derek Percival was very good and easy to listen to. The whole team (70 delegates) became involved immediately. The analogies Derek used for each personality profile was excellent. It made a lot of sense and reinforced the idea of how to deal with our work mates (and our manager's). I liked too that he used the same analogy for the different personalities.  The team building activities were great and clearly demonstrated the different ways in which we work as a team (and in some instances), don' t work in a team. The group learnt when to proceed with an activity, when to leave it alone, and understood how it related to their work environment. People really got something out of the sessions.

Very energetic, fun, and inspirational. “Derek & Scott were very committed and passionate to the cause and have found the right level when communicating with people who need to get out a 'rut'. They have become icons for the long term unemployed in the Dandenong area.  The content of their training was relevant and meaningful.

Excellent. He was engaging, to the point, addressed our concerns and kept the staff involved. He was excellent, patient and appropriate with the 'mouthy' group but managed to engage and stimulate everyone with the specific areas of importance. Fabulous presenter with great energy!

Derek Percival brought great enthusiasm and focus to our team of staff, for our ‘team building’ day. Derek appeared to be perceptive of the group dynamics and inspired our staff to reflect on how they work in their individual roles and as a team.
