Working Together More Effectively Skills for Better Leadership Personal Growth Organizational communication that works So often leaders and managers swear that they’ve shared information with their colleagues and staff, and yet claim to be misunderstood, or not heard at all. Why is that? This session gets at the heart of organizational communication and outlines the necessary steps for communication to be clear, concise, understood by all, and effective. Communicating so that others hear us Have you ever spoken with someone, and yet, at the end of the conversation you see no difference in what they’re doing or how they’re relating with you, and you wonder, did they even hear me? This session offers specific approaches and action steps to more effectively communicate – so that you can be certain that what you say is what they hear. Listening is not a passive sport The flip side of the fact that we all feel that no one is truly listening to us, is that we realize that maybe we’re not that hot at listening either. This session explores the concept of “active listening” – that listening takes action, focus, intent, and effort – and offers specific strategies and approaches to more effectively listen – for details, comprehension, decision making, and building effective relationships. The art of persuasion: How to influence others “How do I get someone to do what I need them to do – and even better, to have them think it was their own idea to do it in the first place?” This is the question that our clients pose to us time and time again. Influence is one of the most necessary skills in business and in life, and this session shares proven techniques and strategies that can help influence the mindsets and behaviors of others. Effective team skills and approaches are essential for well performing teams, groups, departments, organizations, even families! This session explores concepts and specific skills that empower a team (or a group, etc.) to function more effectively, efficiently, productively, and enjoyably. Trust is an essential part of leadership and of successful relationships – yet it can be difficult to define, much less achieve. This session offers specific steps and simple action items to build and strengthen trust within relationships. “If you work on your mind with your mind, how can you avoid an immense confusion?” This quote from Seng-ts’an illustrates into the stumbling block many reach when trying to solve problems. This session delves into a variety of effective approaches to “thinking outside the box” and addressing problems from new and different perspectives that illuminate breakthrough ideas and solutions. There are many myths and misunderstandings about what coaching is and what it is not. Leaders and organizations can benefit from a “coaching approach” to leadership that promotes improved performance and greater effectiveness. This session debunks the myths and offers practical tools and skills for adding coaching to the leader’s toolkit. What separates a stand-out leader from the rest? It is often the ability to lead from the heart. This session digs deep into leadership and explores the dos and don’ts of leading effectively and powerfully from the heart. Why is it that when we’re two years old, our favorite word is “no,” but as we grow older, we lose the ability to use the word? “No” is an essential part of the “self-care” vocabulary – when it is used properly and effectively. This session offers insight into why so many of us get caught into saying yes when we really want to say no, as well as suggestions on how to effectively and lovingly bring “no” back into your vocabulary, while still supporting and thriving in relationships. For most of us, a new job or opportunity brings with it a sense of excitement, anticipation, and renewal. As the months and years go along, however, the day-to-day pressures and routines can sap us of the energy we brought to the position. This session provides strategies, ideas, and self-awareness that will help you to love your work again. It is just as easy to believe that the universe is abundant and that there are endless possibilities – and this choice of belief can have great affect on the outcomes you face. This session inspires individuals to reprogram their approach to one of abundance, infinite possibilities, and freeing joy.
