Effectiveness and Balance: Dynamic Tools for Work and Life Sustainable, elite performance depends on more than hard work or busyness. When high performers are committed to responsible work-life choices, they solidify a foundation of balance that in turn supports their effectiveness. With the escalation of work demands, there is a greater need to balance exertion with necessary recovery. This skill set strengthens endurance, prevents damage and enhances effectiveness.
Balance is not optional. When workers are in a state of imbalance, mistakes are made, morale is low, productivity suffers, more days are lost to sick leave and retention is low. Being work-centric is not the problem and being less focused on work is not the solution. The goal is personal responsibility for work-life effectiveness. The result is healthier, happier, and more engaged employees that have better focus, make fewer mistakes, and perform at a consistently high level.
Precision Communication: Building a High Performance Communication Culture Businesses thrive when a sustainable communication culture is in place. Too often, valuable resources are wasted through needless miscommunication. This workshop helps prevent fragmented, ambiguous or contradictory communication so that teams can perform optimally. When people are communicating clearly, concisely, and respectfully, work gets done! This provides the skills necessary to be more effective in cross-functional teams, across sites and with different cultures.
Say It! Finding the Words for Difficult Conversations Difficult conversations are often necessary and often avoided. This half-day workshop asks each participant to focus on one difficult conversation that they currently face. They are given guidelines for how to say what needs to be said, create a script and then receive feedback. Special emphasis is placed on communicating with respect for self and others in order to optimize productive ongoing communication. .
The Contact-Zone™: Power and Influence When managers rely less on position power and more on personal power, they have greater capacity to influence others. This workshop shows participants how to develop their personal power and relational intelligence in order to generate higher performing teams and greater productivity. Participants learn about 4 limiting power patterns and 4 corresponding antidotes that support greater personal power and leadership effectiveness. New skills are anchored by playing the interactive Contact-Zone™ Board Game, which provides intensive skill-based feedback. .
