Get It All Done – Time Management, Work/Life Balance

Our lives are filled with; emails, deadlines, work project, things we need to remember to buy, kid’s activities, crammed closets, bills to pay and lists of things you "should" do or "need" to do. Does it feel like you are on a roller coaster you can’t get off? You can't “manage" time: you can't take a few hours from the morning and put them in the evening. You CAN manage all the “stuff” in your life that leaves you feeling frazzled. This simple yet comprehensive approach to “time management” will help you get things done, professionally and personally. Participants leave this program feeling energized, less stressed, and immediately become more productive.

The Power of The Paradigm – Changing your Habits to Create a Better Life

You may not realize it, but your paradigms are controlling every move you make. Paradigms are the multitude of habits controlling your thoughts and behaviors. They govern your communication, relationships, work habits, and ultimately your success or failure. Do you feel like you’re doing all the right things to achieve your goals, but you still can’t seem to get there? Do you see people with more happiness or success and think, “What am I doing wrong?” If you want to change your results, this seminar if for you. No matter if your focus is personal or professional, If you want to change, shifting your paradigms is the only way to do it.

Increase Success with The Power of Happiness – Maximize Your Professional and Personal Potential

Happiness affects everything you do and everyone around you. Contrary to what society has taught us, success does not fuel happiness, happiness fuels success. When we are happy, our brains become more engaged, creative, motivated, and productive. Happy employees have fewer absences and get more done. Happy leaders inspire their teams to new levels of achievement. Happiness in our personal lives creates better relationships. This seminar provides specific actions to create happiness and tools to make happiness a habit. This program can be geared toward leaders, teams, or individuals. It will inspire you, increase optimism, improve performance personally and professionally, and maximize the potential of any team.

Change Management – Peaceful Adaptation to Change

Organizational and cultural change is constant in today’s workplace. Just when we begin to understand our job duties, establish clear goals, learn a new process, or get comfortable with a new piece of technology, something changes. We are creatures of habit, so change is inherently difficult! Switch your morning routine in one small way and you will find it feels uncomfortable; even though that change has no impact on your life. Change that triggers emotion, impacts relationships, affects career or our family life, can create major stress. This program will provide attendees with coping skills to reduce anxiety during periods of change. More importantly, participants receive tools that allow them to move beyond merely coping, and find ways to peacefully adapt to change

Unlock Your Capacity to Change – Make Changes That Stick

Why do our vows to improve our lives (go to the gym, lose 10 pounds, drink less, clean more, save money) end in failure in a matter of weeks or even days? Our best efforts to change are routinely overwhelmed by forces within us. Organizational change is inseparable from personal change. Change is only possible, personally, and professionally, when we have the capacity to change and the resources to do so. Learn why the same system meant to protect us from negative changes can inadvertently keep us from making positive changes. This eye-opening session will provide the tools to unlock your ability to create lasting change. You will leave this program ready to tackle change and armed to help lead others through difficult cultural or process changes.

(Designed for your specific business.)

It’s Not My Fault – Increase Self-Esteem and Productivity

Self-esteem is rarely discussed in corporate settings, yet it drives both how we react to our colleagues and how we perform in a group. Poor self-esteem leads to fear of new responsibilities, defensiveness, overly compliant or rebellious behavior. Receive gentle coaching to stop justifying mistakes and embrace reality. This seminar delivers concrete tools that increase self-esteem and create an emotionally sound, productive, and collaborative team.

Goal Setting – Ten (not so easy) Steps to Set and Reach Goals

Children think big. They plan to become famous movie stars, put out fires and fly spaceships. Children never plan to become a stressed-out CPA or a struggling small business owner. Over time, the world pushes down on us and our dreams get smaller until, poof, they are gone; we are caught up in daily responsibilities and we just want to make it to bed time. Anything is possible if you are willing to take concrete steps forward. Leave this seminar armed with the tools to reignite the passion in your current job, change jobs, start a business, lose weight, jump out of an airplane, or take a vacation. More than goal setting, this program is designed to help you define and accomplish your dreams.

Working with Difficult People – Create happy productive relationships at work and home

Difficult people can be toxic in the workplace and in our personal lives. One difficult person in a group can poison the positive efforts of an entire team. Understand what drives the behaviors of the people that drive you crazy. Obtain specific tools to deal with difficult personalities and prevent them from contaminating your workplace. This program will help you create positive, productive relationships and make it difficult for those around you to be difficult.

From Boomers to Gen X, Y and Z - Winning the Generation Game:

Our workplaces and families are comprised of four (soon to be five,) different generations. Investigate how each generation works and what unique skills they bring to our work force. Embrace the variety of generational work styles in your organization and learn to clearly communicate based on generational preferences. New information about Generation “Z” and a touch of humor make this topic engaging and relevant. Inspire and empower your organization with tangible tools that use generational differences to create a stronger, more adaptive team.

Flourish – Maximize individual strengths, create stronger collaborative teams

2 hours

Developing your strengths – the things you’re good at and actually enjoy doing – makes it eighteen times more likely you’ll describe yourself as “flourishing” at work? (Psychology today 2016.) Most of us worry about getting rid of our weaknesses. The truth is, you may never overcome your weaknesses, but you can make significant changes in the way you live and work that allow you to flourish. As an authorized Licensee of the Culture Index TM., I provide each individual attendee with objective data about the way they think and behave. Each participant receives concrete tools and coaching to help them use their strengths to thrive at work, and at home. We will discover how to take those individual strengths to increase the ability of your team/group to communicate and collaborate. This program will maximize the results of teams and allow individuals to flourish.
