MY TOPICS PORTFOLIO: (partial list)
Below is a list of signature topics. I call my onsite workshops LAUNCH & Learns because we know that the learning just begins when you first hear the information; the training takes place when it’s being purposefully applied – embedded into the everyday work experience. Consider a 1/2 day session. This could actually be of MORE value!
Each onsite client has the option of a full or 1/2 day session along coupled with Laser Learning follow ups from the Management-in-Minutes laser Learning Library specific to the topic delivered and each attendee receives the Individual Application Handbook (38 pgs.) at no additional cost.
Also, an optional follow up coaching component is offered. The cost is determined based on the customized needs of the client.
Our philosophy? “Everyday is a training day”, when employees are taught how to leverage their everyday work experience to learn and grow… and that part if free!
SIGNATURE WORKSHOPS
…includes a brief description of “off-the-shelf” workshops
available. Any topic can be tweaked or developed further
to meet a client’s need for a half day workshop and/or keynote.
Leadership from the Inside-Out
An essential principle in effective leadership is who people are on the inside will dictate the kind of leader and the kind of team they will have on the outside. The inside can be characterized and authentic personal power. Attendees are guided through 13 points of a personal power wheel to provide tangible touch points for creating and maintaining personal power. This establishes the foundation for authentic leadership. This is a must have, foundational workshop for EVERY employee (individual contributor) and leader in your organization and that’s why it’s listed first.
Manager as Coach
Since leadership in many organizations is migrating from the old command and control model to the new model of coaching, facilitating and educating, this workshop teaches a highly effective coaching model that can be implemented in any organization and also provides a performance management tool for effortless performance appraisals while tying performance to business objectives.
How to Deal with Unacceptable Employee Behavior
This workshop takes participants on a journey that first lays a foundation of the orgin of behavior then moves on to how and why it goes wrong. Then, it rounds out the seminar with practical how-tos to address it with dignity and respect and satisfies requirements for HR as well.
Creative & Innovative Thinking – The Next New Skill
A fun, interactive workshop to guide attendees through practical tools on how to generate ideas and develop innovative thinking. It’s about solutions, process improvement and doing more with less! Does your staff know how to be that way? As stated by Richard Florida (author of “Rise of The Creative Class”) “Ideas are the new commodity of the 21st century.”
The Best of Us: Qualities Uniquely Feminine that Have Taken Women to the Top in Their Profession
This keynote provides a fascinating look at the qualities that are uniquely feminine and how they have catapulted female leaders and their organizations to success.
Communication – The Unspoken Keys to the Most Effective Communication
A fresh approach to teaching effective communication is by teaching that we are not necessarily speaking to a person but to their mind. An essential component of communicating effectively is understanding how the mind works and then with that knowledge using unique techniques that can be used to achieve better outcomes. Some of the techniques are taken from NLP (neuro linquistic programing). I call these specific techniques “3D Communication.”
How to Manage Conflict with Finesse and Tact
Very few professionals I know at any level do this well. In fact, the number 1 tactic is avoidance. This is not leadership in any way AND a lot of time is wasted in companies because the skills are not in place to effectively manage conflict or nip it in the bud so it doesn’t escalate. Give your teams the gift of this knowledge. It will impact your bottom line!
Can’t We All Just Get Along?
I believe one of the most critical diversity issues today is not necessarily race of ethnicity, but personality differences on which team members get the least amount of training. This essential workshop helps members identify their own personality type in a very fun way and also gain understanding and a sense of value of others with a engaging and enlightening interactive activity. A test is also included that is very easy to administer and use. Additionally, practical application is made of the findings which will serve to build team synergy and nurture the positive daily interaction of team members. (This is one of my most popular activities at my seminars!)
The Power of Execution – Time Management and Organization Tips for the Busy Professional
