It's for men who know there is more to life and want to take their next steps more consciously. Most Navigator participants are in non-management roles inside organisations and others are in junior management, in specialist roles, self-employed, unemployed or working in voluntary organisations.

It's for employers who want to develop their staff to their fullest potential and to give their staff opportunities to develop.

Men assess themselves, set goals and then develop the practical skills and self confidence needed to achieve those goals.

Men in all walks of life and in different patterns of employment have opened up all sorts of opportunities for themselves following the programme.

You and your employer can realistically expect any of these outcomes:

realistic self-assessment set and achieve clear goals develop a positive attitude communicate more assertively and effectively have more self confidence and motivation present a positive image improve your work/life balance build better relationships.

Employers have the benefits of staff who are more highly motivated, better focussed and are better communicators following the programme. Private and public sector organisations, universities, government departments and voluntary groups have all benefited.

The Navigator Men's Development Programme consists of 5 ingredients: four one-day workshops over 3 months a first ever personal development workbook for men, packed with practical activities and ideas practical examples of other men's experience coaching partnerships networking.

Following participation in a Navigator programme, Dr. Chris Warner from Cambridge University asked for teaching responsibility and within a year has moved from doing 100% research to 50% research and 50% teaching. He's also become a Director of Studies for Mathematics at Robinson College, Cambridge and a Fellow. He says that the key was deciding what his goal was and 'going for it'.

At home he has moved house and become a manager of his local football club. Chris's wife says that, after years of drifting through life, he now comes across as someone who knows where he is heading.
