Workshops

• Leadership Styles: Understanding Yours and Others

  The foundation of any team’s performance relies upon understanding yourself and other people. Successful interaction with people is a key ingredient to a productive life at work and home, whether it be a co-worker, customer, team mate, or family member.

• Interviewing to Find the Right People, The Right Way

  As a supervisor or manager, one of your most important responsibilities is to hire qualified people to get things done. The hiring process, if handled incorrectly, can be extremely costly for employers. Expenses associated with a poor “job match” can range from reduced productivity and morale problems to termination and even legal costs, if not done properly.

• Expectations: Management Strategies to Do What Matters Most

  Research shows that employees that have clearly defined, well-communicated expectations are happier and more successful in their jobs.  If motivating and retaining employees has you baffled, this program will teach supervisors, managers and their employees how to achieve mutual appreciation and understanding for each other, along with higher productivity, morale, teamwork and job satisfaction.

• Taking Time to Manage Your Time

  Too much to do and not enough time to get it all done? Basic to managing individual and organizational performance, setting priorities and managing time effectively is key. This program develops a strategy designed to address individual needs for meeting the daily challenge of managing professional and personal responsibilities.

• Bad Apples (TM): Coaching Skills for Today’s Workplace

  Are you working with, serving, or even living with someone who has a bad attitude?  Like the cliché “One bad apple spoils the whole bunch”, one person with a bad attitude can have a negative impact on the entire team!  Just being around someone who complains, whines, or just doesn’t do or say anything can cause people to feel frustrated, angry, or even helpless.  In fact, studies show that 68% of people (employees and customers) quit or leave a company because of one employee’s bad attitude.  Bad attitudes in the workplace can deteriorate morale, lower productivity, and increase costs.  It doesn’t take much for a co-worker, manager, or customer to feel the negative affects from someone with a bad attitude.

• Peanut Butter: Communication Skills That STICK!

  Overcome the fear of getting up in front of people!!  Whether you are presenting a report to a board of directors, selling your product or service to a client, sharing ideas with your manager or training a new employee, the techniques you use to prepare and present your message makes a big impact on your effectiveness.  This program provides practical tools and techniques to use before, during, and after a presentation.

• Building Teams That Are Creative and CARE

  Successful team members don’t work harder, they work smarter. They do the right thing at the right time. A clear understanding of individual roles, in the process of working together toward a common goal, is the first step to creating high performance teams.
