Leadership 101: Move Past the "Born or Made" Leadership Conundrum
Leadership across levels contributes to an agile organization and provides a pipeline for top executives. Leadership is about making stuff happen in the short term, while also developing the organization and individuals for the long haul. This workshop is tailored to match the most fitting leadership theory for your organization, translating this research into tools and skills to be applied at the organizational level of the participants. This seminar builds people's capabilities to motivate others and get results. Workshop can be paired with individual quantitative based 360° assessment.

Management 101: Develop Excellence in a Critical Area
Strategy execution falters due to mismanagement. Many managers have honed excellent technical skills but find themselves unprepared for sticky management situations. This seminar provides a framework for the various tasks of management; such as providing timely feedback, developing direct reports, informing, and managing work through others.

Change Management: Ride the Wave of the Tsunami Transitions
There is much talk of change in the world, due to technological advances, generational transitions, and global competition. Blink... and tomorrow will be different than today. This seminar is tailored to help an organization that wants to:

A. Intentionally lead change in order to move constructively in a new direction.

The objective is to provide leaders tools to lead change such that implementation is successful.

B. Help its employees navigate well the changes that have come.

Enable employees to respond to changes with a can-do spirit rather than energy sapping resistance.

Polarity Management: The Swiss Army Knife of a Leader's Tool Kit
Many difficult issues leaders face are not problems to solve, but polarities to manage. Should a leader provide structure or flexibility? Yes. Should we encourage team work or individual drive? Yes. It's avoiding the tyranny of the OR and embracing the genius of the AND. This seminar provides a leader with tools to identify the polarities present in their current work situation, and skills to better manage them.

Leading Across Cultures: Our Company Looks Like a Mini-UN!
Technical skills translate more easily across cultures than do principles of organizational life, e.g. the role of team versus individuality, definitions of leadership, communication styles, etc. Participants will understand key dimensions of cultural differences and receive tools to better communicate and negotiate across cultures. Emphasis will be tailored to organizational needs, such as managing employees across cultures, selling products, negotiating contracts, etc.

There's No "I" in Team: Build Effective Teams with Talented Individuals
The past ten years has seen an emphasis on teams as the key to organizational success. Yet groups can waste time and energy, killing individual initiative. This seminar provides keys to effective teams, while maintaining the balance between individual motivation and group collaboration. Participants receive tools to navigate group stages, and identify needed roles for effective team-work.

Personality Differences: Productive Synergy OR Costly Friction
Understanding core personality differences enables people to work smarter not harder in terms of resolving conflicts, managing others and selling products. Each person receives feedback through the personality assessment that best fits your purpose. People attain increased understanding of themselves and others. This enables them to communicate effectively, collaborate on projects and skillfully deal with differences.

Generational Differences:  Relate, Recruit, Retain

This time in history is unique...four generations work side by side.  Two experienced employees leave the workforce for every one inexperienced employee who enters.  The goal?  Capitalize on strengths, while minimizing clashes.  Recruit and train younger employees while also keeping experienced ones.  This seminar delivers a self-assessment of one's ability to understand differences, and positive profiles of the four generations.  Practical application transfers the knowledge to the area(s) of the organization's needs:  managing, recruiting, retaining or providing customer orientation.

Conflict Resolution: Develop a Conflict Competent Organization
Research shows that across levels of individual contributor, manager and top executives, people lack conflict resolution skills. Research also shows that conflict with one's boss is one of the most cited reasons for leaving a job. Training aimed at helping people at all levels develop better skills in this critical area is a wise investment. This seminar uses one of several individual assessments, to help people begin to identify and improve their own behavior in managing conflict.
