Influential Communication
Lack of communication is sited as one of the greatest challenges in our organizations. Miscommunication is directly linked to almost 80% of conflict. It is imperative then to make sure your team communicates effectively and accurately. This course is designed to get everyone on board with the nuances of effective communication. We talk email, voice mail and even face to face interaction. We identify and educate participants on the individual behavior styles and how to best communicate with each style to minimize the mixed messages. We use lots of fun and lively exercises to drive home the finer points of communication. In this seminar we cover all the basics of communication as well as advanced concepts. We want to make it "stick" so we use personal style assessments + individual action plans and we make it memorable.  Team Performance Challenge
The team doctor steps in to take your team to a new level. Whether we're talking about a newly formed team or a well oiled machine in need of a boost - we can be of service. In order for a team to perform the members of the team need to have crystal clear roles and goals, effective communication, trust and strong relationships. Teams have the potential to be a Petri Dish for potential conflict because of the variety of personalities and work styles. Our goal is to help your team understand the differences, be appreciative of the benefits of each style, and gain acceptance for the limitations as well. We'll demonstrate with group activities, examples, and lots of humor. This workshop is well suited to off site accommodations. Colorado is a good choice to challenge your team. Rules of Engagement: Essentials for Embracing Conflict
Conflict is an inevitable and necessary part of the workplace. What distinguishes a healthy environment from one that is not so healthy is the ability to get the conflict out in the open and ultimately to either resolve or agree to disagree and move on-not hold grudges, not plan counter attacks-not sabotage productivity. We'll help you understand what it takes to work through the conflict without being paralyzed. Participants will learn powerful ways to interact with coworkers when conflict is present. We'll change their perspective to view conflict and the resolution to be constructive and actually mission critical to the performance outcomes. Leadership Essentials
What distinguishes a respected, effective leader from a mediocre leader? One quality stands out — uncommon commitment to the goal. But what else is essential for one to lead others? Great leaders make it look easy, but it is far from simple. One must be dedicated to the role of leadership. We'll help you understand what is needed for great leaders to emerge. Discover your natural leadership style, and how to adapt your style to be most effective with people. Let's face it, 60 grit sandpaper is not always required to get people to do what you want. Learn to read people, understand yourself in the process and discover your true leadership potential. Assessments are optimum for this seminar, and each participant will receive an action plan and goals for follow up. Change is Easy ... You go first
In today's business climate, if something's not changing it's probably dead. Whether the transitions are personal or professional change and our reactions to change have been characterized in various ways, most notable using humorous parables about mice and cheese supplies. Articles have been written, theories espoused and yet many of us still react the same ways to change. Most of us, if honest, don't like it one bit. This seminar will help you understand why you react to change like you do, what to do before, during and after the change, how to lead through the change and how to stay motivated and upbeat as well as motivating the team to levels of high performance. Avoiding Personality Clashes at Work and Play
Perhaps you’re working with someone who is a bit too perky for your taste. Maybe the guy in the cubicle is just too analytical for you. That woman down the hall is just a bit too much, too aggressive, too direct, and too “in your face”. What about the cubicle invader who just won’t quit talking, talking, talking? Welcome to the world of managing personalities in the workplace. No worries though - we can help decipher the wonderful world of diversity. Each “style” or “personality” or whatever you wish to call it, has its unique strengths and of course it’s limitations. The truth is we need all different personalities to get the job done. So instead of lamenting the differences, let’s learn to deal with the differences. Could you be a: Dominant director, seeking to control and dominate others? Someone who gets and likes bottom line results and is less tolerant of the detail, process and people who are slow to make decisions…or are you: someone who is verbally adroit and expressive? Are you the consummate people person who actually loses energy when assigned a task that requires focus and isolation? Perhaps you’re creative in the right brain sense of the word, and incredibly trusting (sometimes too much so)…or are you a: Steady Relater, a loyal, stable, team oriented person who loves to complete your to do list, but also likes to be with people, especially people you know well and trust. You hate conflict, so you often try to accommodate others so you can avoid the nasty confrontation…but then again you might be a: Cautious Thinker and you are more analytical and linear than your counterparts. You thrive on detail, strive to be as thorough as possible and tend to be a critical thinker. You don’t appreciate others who speak before thinking and at times you will be seen by others as somewhat picky and critical. Discover the uniqueness of your team, learn to thrive together and be productive! |
