Welcome to the Communication Strategies workshop. For the better part of every day, we are communicating to and with others. Whether it’s the speech you deliver in the boardroom, the level of attention you give your spouse when they are talking to you, or the look that you give to the cat, it all means something. This workshop will help participants understand the different methods of communication and how to make the most of each of them.
Welcome to the Creative Problem Solving workshop. In the past few decades, psychologists and business people alike have discovered that successful problem solvers tend to use the same type of process to identify and implement the solutions to their problems. This process works for any kind of problem, large or small.

Effective, high-quality management is key to
organizational success. No matter what your industry, your organization needs
to have skilled managers in place to be the best it can be. But managers don’t
just appear out of nowhere, equipped with the skills to succeed. Managers need
to be developed. And while your organization is likely to do a mix of external
hiring and internal promotion, taking the time to develop new managers from
within the organization is a worthwhile time investment. There are several
strategies that can help you develop new managers, which ensures not just the
success of individual employees but of the organization as a whole
Welcome to the Negotiation Skills workshop. Although people often think of boardrooms, suits, and million dollar deals when they hear the word “negotiation,” the truth is that we negotiate all the time. For example, have you ever:
• Decided where to eat with a group of friends?
• Decided on chore assignments with your family?
• Asked your boss for a raise?
These are all situations that involve negotiating! This workshop will give participants an understanding of the phases of negotiation, tools to use during a negotiation, and ways to build win-win solutions for all those involved.
From before we start
our first job, we often dreamt about what career we wanted to have when we grew
up. Soon, we start the journey to find
the job we want to have and discover ways to make it happen. But that’s only half the battle. Once you’ve landed the job you want, you have
to know ways to not only stay in your job field, but also excel in it.
Time management training most often begins with setting goals. These goals are recorded and may be broken down into a project, an action plan, or a simple task list. Activities are then rated based on urgency and importance, priorities assigned, and deadlines set. This process results in a plan with a task list or calendar of activities. Routine and recurring tasks are often given less focus to free time to work on tasks that contribute to important goals.
This entire process is supported by a skill set that should include personal motivation, delegation skills, organization tools, and crisis management. We’ll cover all this and more during this workshop.
Women make up almost half the US workforce, yet they are promoted to leadership positions at a rate far lower than are their male colleagues. What accounts for this leadership gap? How can organizations foster and develop women leaders? Studies show that having women in leadership positions brings many benefits to an organization, including greater accountability and a culture of work-life balance. Yet it can be difficult to determine the barriers to women’s advancement, and even more difficult to surmount them. Learning how to foster and develop women as leaders not only benefits individual employees, but can benefit your entire organization.
