An innovative management training development programme organised by MSV Life plc for its management team was held in June at the Radisson Blu Resort and Spa at the Golden Sands. It was led by internationally renowned and widely experienced executive coach David Brient, who introduced the Wolf Wisdom theme as a source of model behaviour and as a modelling theory for personal and team behaviour and adapted this novel concept into management training to improve personal and team performance.

Every member of the management team was presented with a copy of the book Wisdom of Wolves by Twyman Towery accompanying a witty and coherently-themed invitation that was then followed by a one-to-one preliminary coaching session between Brient and each delegate prior to the two-day residential programme.

This successful and positive experience was tied in with the book as the premise for this alternative corporate and personal learning experience which incorporated activities geared towards enhancing interpersonal skills, leadership, effective communication and teamwork, finding opportunities for synergy, dealing with negative attitudes and coaching methodologies amongst others.

During this programme, the team also participated in a variety of practical stress-breaking sessions that included Yoga, T’ai Chi, ‘Kick Shield’, Xi Gung Breathing and voice projection exercises.
