Workshops

Our workshops are work — work that pays off.

We take a coach approach to workshops meaning that all participants are actively engaged not only as learners, but also as co-facilitators and coaches for themselves and others.  When learners roll up their sleeves and get to work helping everyone in the room grow, learn, and identify key actions, the value for each learner goes up tremendously.  And every participant walks away with not only new awareness, but also a commitment to take at least one new action that will create change and positive movement.

We can custom design workshops on most areas of need.  We also have three high-impact workshops that many clients have found produce valuable results:

Leadership Advance

In todayʼs whitewater world of constant change and competing commitments, knowing exactly what activities will bear the most fruit while sustaining your energy is not obvious.
Thatʼs where good coaching comes in.
Led by seasoned leadership coaches, Leadership Advance provides two full days of coaching in a group setting to help you gain clarity about:

Your Fingerprint Design
Knowing the unique way youʼre wired helps you leverage your strengths so you can work smarter, not harder.
Your Wildly Important Goals
Identifying the two or three outcomes that make all the difference – so you can focus your efforts and maximize results.
Your 3-D Action Plan
An action plan built on the three dimensions needed for true success.

If you want to identify whatʼs next and get a realistic plan for moving toward it, you are a great fit for Leadership Advance.

The Five Dysfunctions of a Team

Based on Patrick Lencioni’s best-selling book, this one-day workshop addresses issues of organizational effectiveness and teamwork within the context of real business issues, avoiding esoteric and touchy-feely activities that plague too many workshops and off-site sessions. This Workshop also address the operational roots of politics and confusion, and provide specific tools for making better, faster decisions and achieving greater buy-in around them.

On the subject of teamwork, do any of the following behaviors currently exist on your team?

• Dread meetings and find reasons to avoid spending time together?
• Team environment where back-channel politics and personal attacks thrive?
• Revisits discussions and decisions again and again?
• Misses deadlines and key deliverables?
• Repeatedly produce mediocre results?

If you answered yes to any one of these questions, your team will benefit from this workshop.

Working Better Together

If your team is ready to understand your players, build trust, develop more effective communication patterns, and start getting better results, consider Working Better Together – a one-day coaching workshop for teams of four to twenty-four members.
This highly interactive workshop incorporates two of the most effective tools available for bringing out the best in each team member and the team as a whole: the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator Assessment (MBTI) and the StrengthsFinder Assessment.
Each team member will receive his or her unique  MBTI and StrengthsFinder reports and learn how they are alike (and distinct from) one another.  The team will also receive instruction and coaching around how best to leverage each person’s personality type and strengths to make the team stronger.
