Leadership development workshops

Are you are looking for leadership development training solutions? 3P Concepts offers leadership training programs tailored to your business.

1. Fundamental Laws of Leadership (intro)
This leadership course covers the principles of leadership and investigates the differences between leading as a leader, as opposed to leading because you’re appointed ‘leader’. This course is about identifying the qualities to effectively lead teams, peers and colleagues.

2. Laws of Leadership – application and recognition of leadership laws
This course looks at applying the fundamental laws of leadership into any workplace situation. It will assist individuals in recognising their existing leadership qualities and identifying areas that need further application. It is about not only understanding how to be a better leader, but applying that knowledge into everyday work practices.

3. Developing the Leader Within – identifying current leadership attributes and gap analysis
A more in depth look at applying leadership principles in the workplace. This course looks at the qualities of the leader and is imperative for those who aspire to move into middle or senior management positions. This course looks at the philosophy behind the principles and laws of leadership; priorities, integrity, problem solving, vision and self-discipline are some of the key areas explored in this workshop.

4. Integrating Workplace Leadership – developing leaders around you for workplace growth and productivity
The long term growth and survival of any business is reflected in its ability to develop a strong workplace culture to build and maintain momentum. Here we explore succession plans within the workplace, understanding that growing generations are not bound by the same job security or loyalty needs of previous generations. Investing and developing key people within your organisation to become future leaders, this course demonstrates how to achieve a strong, secure workforce to suit current economic environments and the changing culture of our workplace.

Business communication training and workshops

Class and Course Finder, rural and regional Australia's online directory, would like to introduce 3P Concepts to the website. They offer business communication workshops and training throughout Queensland, including Bundaberg, Gladstone, Rockhampton, Mackay, Townsville and Cairns.

It's vital for businesses and individuals to develop effective communication skills through comprehensive workshops such as those developed and presented by Lynda Gale at 3P Concepts. 3P Concepts will mentor you to ensure you find solutions for your business management needs. These courses and workshops will assist you in learning about personality types and how to communicate effectively with each personality type; interpersonal communication techniques and managing these; personal control dramas; and ways to increase productivity and staff morale.

Below are the business communication workshops offered and these can be tailored to your particular business needs:

  1. Developing winning relationships: This course introduces personality types, the objective is to explain and demonstrate the four personality types (based on the personality plus model), so that an individual can not only identify with their own personal traits but also allows them to identify and relate to others around them. By understanding how we are ‘wired’ we can then also begin to communicate directly in the language of that personality. The information discussed in this course covers every aspect of our daily interactions whether at work, home, in private relationships or socially.
  2. Managing interactive dynamics: Once we understand the basic communication traits of our personality types we can than apply this knowledge externally to better understand the relationships of work colleagues (this can also be applied to any relationship) and encompasses interpersonal communication techniques including verbal, non-verbal and body language communication techniques. This workshop will open up participants to understand the mechanics of their interactions and relationships with others, and ultimately have conscious control of them.
  3. Understanding ‘Control’ Points – Behavioural circles and control dramas: With a basic understanding of how to identify and focus on key issues within interactive relationships, individuals will then discover the patterns that determine our relationships (again this information can be invaluable in any relationship context). The objective of this workshop is to promote conscious awareness of our personal control dramas so that we can then better conduct relationships.
  4. Managing Workplace Dynamics: With an understanding of how we are perceived by others, and why our colleagues behave or react in different situations and relationships, we can now begin to look at our workforce from a third perspective and identify areas where changes are needed to increase productivity, growth and morale. It’s knowing “who’s who’ in your work team and being able to provide a stable environment to manage individual dynamics, it is about providing a workplace culture that is dynamic and flexible enough to encourage individual contributions to a team project.

Scuba dive courses in Cairns

Have you been looking to learn how to scuba dive or been meaning to do a scuba diving course? Well, Cairns is the place to be because it's right on the Great Barrier Reef! You can find the following dive course providers on the website:

Cairns Dive Centre: offers day cruises and live aboard trips for the snorkeller and diver, as well as learn-to-dive courses through all levels from Open Water to Instructors. They are a SSI training centre. Learn to dive courses commence daily in their training facility, which includes an air-conditioned classroom and a heated, 4 metre deep training pool. We have study materials and exams available in various foreign languages. Cairns Dive Centre conducts advanced dive courses, which start daily and are completed over 3 days and 2 nights - spent entirely on board the M.V. Kangaroo Explorer at the Outer Barrier Reef. The SSI stress and Rescue course is conducted over 5 days and consists of 10 dives in total.

All training dives are performed on the fabulous outer Great Barrier Reef at a variety of sites on 3 different reefs - 26 nautical miles off the coast of Cairns. The rescue courses start every 2nd Monday. The Divemaster course is the first step in making diving your career. You will have the opportunity to assist entry-level students both in the classroom and pool as well as in open water. You will learn advanced navigation, boat diving operations, and a lot more that will make you a qualified dive leader.


O.R.C.A. Training: offers SSI accredited training including

- Open Water Diver to Advanced Open Water Diver
- Rescue Diver
- Dive Controller
- Open Water Dive Instructor
- Equipment Maintenance
- Accident Management
- First Aid, CPR, Oxygen Provider
- First Aid Instructor
The ORCA programs are not just about developing career based skills, they also focus on developing life based skills. We see many candidates evolve from shy individuals to confident young adults. Once you have learnt to dive, progression through the various dive leadership roles will teach you how to communicate and teach effectively, present to groups, improve your people management skills, provide a background on how to create a safe work environment and various other business and work place abilities such as occupational first aid.

Scuba Diver is the perfect course for those who do not have time to complete an entire Open Water Diver Program. The content of this program represents about half of the Open Water Diver Program. You can then complete the second half and become a certified diver at another time, anywhere that is convenient for you.

The Scuba Diver Program will be fully credited towards the Open Water Diver Program. This way you will not have to redo any part of the program twice. After a short skill update you can complete your Open Water Diver rating. Certified Scuba Divers are entitled to go diving under the direct supervision of a Dive Leader up to a maximum depth of 40 feet/12 metres. This allows you to have a lot of fun and gain further diving experience even without continuing your education. At the end of the program you will receive your Scuba Diver Certificate indicating the successful completion of this program. This certificate entitles you to take part in guided dives all over the world. If you ever decide to continue your training and become a certified diver just contact your local SSI Training Facility for details on how to compoete your SSI open water diver rating.

SSI Advanced Adventurer: The optional Advanced Adventurer can be the entry to continuing education, especially for those divers who cannot decide which specialty courses they want to learn. During the Advanced Adventurer Program you will have the chance to try out 5 different specialties. You will complete one open water training dive per specialty in order to get a better understanding for each specialty area. Later, you can choose to complete all or just a few of your selected speciaties through a Specialty Course by completing the second dive and finishing all academic requirements.


SSI Specialty Diver: SSI’s intermediate diver rating is higher than any other agency’s advanced courses. To earn the certification for Specialty Diver, you must complete 2 specialty courses and have done a total of 12 dives.


SSI Advanced Open Water Diver: SSI’s Advanced Diver rating stands alone in the industry with the highest combination of diving knowledge and experience. No other agency’s advanced diver level compares. To earn the certification for Advanced Open Water Diver, you must complete 4 specialty courses and have done a total of 24 dives.
SSI Master Diver: SSI’s Master Diver rating is one of the most elite ratings in diving today. Divers that have completed this level have combined the knowledge, skills and experience to truly call themselves Master Divers. To earn the certification for Master Diver, you must complete 4 specialty courses, Diver Stress&Rescue and have done a total of 50 dives.


Pro Dive Cairns: If you are thinking about taking the plunge our 5 day PADI "Open Water" dive course is by far the most popular way to do it. The adventure of learning to dive as well as staying out on the reef for 3 days and 2 nights on one of our premium live aboard vessels is quite unique. Your course includes 9 dives on some of the best dive sites the Outer Great Barrier Reef has to offer as well as plenty of time to snorkel, relax and really enjoy the reef experience. All this makes this course unmatched for experience and value.

Overview: Your 5 Day PADI Learn to Dive Course is broken down into two components - 2 Days of classroom and pool and training and then a 3 Day 2 night, 9 dive, liveaboard dive trip to some of the best Outer Reef dive sites available. The first two days of your course are spent at our modern training centre learning the theory and practical skills of scuba diving. At the end of day 2 we recommend the option of attending 'Reef Teach'. 'Reef Teach' is a fun and informative marine biology presentation that will greatly enhance your reef experience. (Additional cost)

The next 3 days and 2 nights are spent living on board one of our premium live aboard dive vessels. You'll have the opportunity to participate in 9 dives on a variety of our 16 exclusive dive sites on the outer Great Barrier Reef. Your first 4 dives will complete your open water certification and then as certified diver you are able to undertake up to 5 more recreational or pleasure dives. One of these dives is a guided night dive! These extra dives will be a highlight of your course and a truly memorable experience. On the night of your return to Cairns you have the option to join your fellow passengers and the crew for a farewell dinner at a local restaurant.
Our dive course options cater for everyone from beginner through to professional levels. Our modern, purpose built training centre provides the best diver training facilities available with 3 air conditioned classrooms and a large, 4 metre deep, heated training pool.

Our 3, premium, custom built, multi million dollar liveaboard dive vessels provide the ideal way to do a liveaboard and dive on some of the most spectacular dive locations on the outer Great Barrier Reef. These exclusive features combined with our outstanding product quality, excellent safety standards, professional service and 'all inclusive' pricing policy make Pro Dive Cairns the only choice when it comes to dive training.

All our dive course 'open water' (ocean) training dives are conducted on the outer Great Barrier Reef, where the diving is at it's best.
