    Politics

Politics

Real Clear offers a unique training opportunity for Labour MPs, their staff and Labour councillors. It combines practical skills with the political and helps provide a space to challenge the way we work and develop better habits and practices. I'd be really surprised if anyone in our movement took the training and didn't find it useful.
Louise Haigh MP

You need a team that's resilient to handle the fast paced and often reactive world of politics.

With our 10+ years experience working with over 100 MPs and their teams, plus MEPs and local politics, we help you serve your voters and make the difference you want to make in your community.

Your budget is tight, so we provide anything from low-cost one-off training sessions, to more in-depth programmes designed specifically for Caseworkers, Parliamentary staffers and Heads of Office.

As highly qualified coaching professionals, we also coach MPs and senior political leaders.

How We Help Politicians:

  • Mentally Fit Teams Day

    Mentally Fit Teams Day

    MPs rely on their constituency and parliamentary teams to work effectively. It pays to have a team where every individual feels mentally and emotionally fit, and where the way the team works supports that.

    Our Mental Fitness day gives MPs and their teams time to reflect on how they’re doing, understand each other better and agree practical steps to support their wellbeing and effectiveness.

    Before the day, each team member completes a mental fitness questionnaire and receives their own personalised report. On the day itself, we explore what we each need to support our own mental fitness, then consider what it means to be mentally and emotionally fit as a team:

    • How do we care for each other?
    • How do we organise our work in ways that make sense and help us be effective?
    • How do we develop our skills and achieve our mission?
    • How do we communicate internally and externally in ways that support our mission and each other?

    Your facilitator will help you make sense of your individual profiles and explore what they mean for how you work together. Using the Four Core Muscles of Mental Fitness, you’ll identify what’s working well, where you could make changes and practical action steps to take forward as a team.

  • Understanding Different Personalities with DISC

    Understanding Different Personalities with DISC

    MPs’ offices bring together people with different strengths, working styles and ways of communicating. Understanding those differences can help everyone work together more effectively, particularly when the pace is fast and the pressure is on.

    Our DISC Team Day gives MPs and their teams time to understand their own thinking and behaviour preferences, learn more about each other and explore how to put that understanding into practice.

    • How do we each prefer to communicate and receive information?
    • What happens when our working styles are different?
    • How can we adapt our approach to support each other?
    • How can we use our different strengths to work more effectively as a team?

    Your facilitator will help you make sense of your profiles and recognise patterns in how the team works. You’ll leave with a better understanding of each other and practical steps to improve communication and working relationships.
