Winslade Academy is a programme of learning and development at Winslade Park, for businesses, teams and individuals from across the South West. It brings experienced facilitators, coaches and specialists to Winslade to share knowledge people can actually use at work.
It has two sides: learning and development, from lunchtime sessions to full development programmes, and facilitated team days, for when what a team needs isn’t a course at all, but proper time out of the office together.
Courses, workshops, masterclasses and development programmes, with a changing mix of experts and facilitators coming to Winslade.
Leadership & Management • AI & Digital • Communication • Business Skills • Wellbeing • Personal Effectiveness • Team Performance
There’s something for every stage of working life, from first steps into management to experienced leaders developing their teams. Some sessions are open for individuals to book; others are designed for organisations. Either way, people leave with something useful they can put into practice.
Can’t see what you need? Through Good Day Red and its network of specialists, we can put together learning around a particular challenge in your organisation, from a one-off team workshop to a longer development programme. Start with a conversation.
Sometimes another meeting around the same table isn’t going to get you anywhere. Bring your team to Winslade to work through a strategy, plan the year ahead or solve a problem, away from the distractions of the working day.
We can help you design the day, with an expert facilitator, time outdoors, a team activity and lunch at the Manor. Or bring your own agenda and use our meeting spaces, 86 acres of parkland and hospitality as the setting.
Strategy Days • Leadership Retreats • Team Away Days • Facilitated Workshops
Tell us what you want the day to achieve and we’ll help you work out the rest.
There’s always something new in the programme: courses, workshops, masterclasses, speakers and events. Come on your own, bring a colleague or book places for your team.
We’re working with Good Day Red, the people, leadership and performance consultancy led by Jude Yates.
Jude has spent more than 30 years working in HR, leadership development and coaching, and has built a network of facilitators, coaches and specialists across a wide range of subjects. Together, we’ll bring people to Winslade who know their subject, are good at sharing it and understand the realities of working in organisations today.
The programme won’t stand still either. It will respond to what businesses tell us they need.
You don’t have to work at Winslade Park to be part of Winslade Academy. It’s for businesses and individuals across Exeter, Devon and the wider South West, and gives the business community already here something valuable on its doorstep.
If there’s something you’d like to learn, a challenge your business is facing or a subject you think we should be talking about, tell us.
