SEMINARS
& WORKSHOPS CORPORATE
Stress Busters Eighty-five percent of Americans suffer from
stress-related illnesses, costing businesses billions of dollars in absenteeism
and reduced productivity. Common
problems like boredom, forgetfulness, and procrastination result from stress,
along with more serious illnesses such as cancer, arthritis, and coronary heart
disease. Join us in learning to
identify your body’s stress signals, and then practical tools to turn stress
into an advantage.
Wake Up Refreshed A recent study found three-fourths of Americans wake
up ready for bed. Seventeen percent
say they take an entire hour to wake up, resulting in lowered concentration and
poor productivity. The elusive
refreshing night’s sleep is really within reach -- closer than the coffee pot.
The human body craves good sleep, and when it is deprived, almost every
system is effected. There are many
sleep aids that don’t come in a bottle -- by simply making a few shifts in
your day, you could soon be waking up energized.
Dealing with Difficult People Every organization’s got a few:
those who raise your blood pressure just by walking in the room.
Learning to handle those difficult people in your life is an art that can
be mastered. You no longer have to
see your boss in your nightmares, or kick the dog because of your officemate.
This interactive workshop is a must for customer service representatives.
Work Out: Body
Language and Negotiation Research indicates up to 95% of communication is nonverbal. Everyday negotiations and conflict resolution require
“reading” others accurately, as well as conveying the exact message you wish
to send. This experiential workshop
is designed to decipher what we’re really trying to say.
Once you learn body language you'll enjoy less conflict and greater
negotiation abilities.
Managing Humans Effective managers are created. The importance of
Emotional Intelligence in the workplace- the ability to get along with others,
work as a team, handle conflict effectively, etc. can make or break your career.
Two people with the same IQ will progress at different rates up the corporate
ladder if their people skills are different. Come learn the basics of doing
people splendidly. Become one of those people everyone wants to work with,
enjoys working with, and recommends highly. A corporation's success truly does
depend upon the people skills of its employees just as much as their technical
skills.
Personality Typing Since you have never been anyone else, often it
becomes difficult to understand how others look at life.
When you understand the different personality types, interacting with
others can be a rewarding, curious journey, instead of a frustrating mysterious
task. You’ll learn your
personality type as based on the Myers-Briggs Personality Type Inventory, and
learn how your personality typically works best, some common stuck places, and
benefits.
Brain Sex Men can read maps and women can read character.
Typically men and women have different patterns of interacting,
priorities, and expectations in the world of work. These differences often lead
to miscommunications and frustration. Find
out why a man often can’t think like a female, and visa versa.
Gaining an understanding of the differences reduces puzzlement and
frustration, increasing your ability to work well with the other gender.
Fair Fighting Conflict is a natural and potentially healthy aspect
to all work relationships. Problems
arise when conflict is resolved in ways that create distance and hard feelings
instead of camaraderie and mutual understanding. A variety of tools will be presented helping to understand
the dynamics of conflict resolution and move toward productive work
relationships. We will be role-playing, so bring your boxing gloves!
Courageous Communication Communication is a basic, but rarely do we step back
long enough to improve this building block of corporate America. In this seminar
we'll learn how to clear up misunderstandings before they turn into costly
mistakes, give constructive criticism to peers, subordinates and superiors, and
manage differences to win-win solutions. Once
utilized, these powerful communication tools improve not only the quality of
business interactions, but easily translate into family life.
Take Your Family to Work You do take your family to work every day, whether
you like it or not. Have you ever
found yourself instantly "put off" by a colleague?
Or unable to resolve a subordinate's procrastination, because she's just
"so nice, and I can't get mad at her"?
Most of us learn how to behave - our work ethics - from our parents and
carry these messages into the office as adults. What inhibits you from being the
most productive member of your organization? Leave behind ineffective habits,
allowing you to enjoy work more and more.
After Shock With changes both inside organizations and out,
flexible employees are succeeding, while those who don't know how to grieve the
change and go on, are wasting time and energy living in the past. Teaching
employees grief tools and flexibility shortens the time between major changes
and getting back on track. Explore tools to make the transition smoother and
turn a potentially splintering situation into a time for corporate unity.
Working on Yourself: Self-Esteem and Assertiveness in the Office Americans often tie work with self-image, so when we
fail at a task or don’t get the promotion, our very selves may be shaken. Your
self-esteem even impacts your length of stay on this planet. Take a moment and
look at you: your self-image probably doesn't reflect reality 100%. Learn
concrete steps to assertively get what you want, as we encourage your positive
traits and learn from the negative ones. And when you don’t achieve your
wants, learn how to keep your self-esteem intact.
Guilt: The
Parental Hormone This experiential workshop explores the guilt, stress
and fears of raising healthy kids in the 90’s. Enhance your creativity in finding quality-time activities to
do with your children, while attending to your needs. Ideal for working parents, and families with multiple
children.
Family Ties Building a strong, emotionally and psychologically
healthy family is one of life’s greatest challenges. We’ll gain an understanding of healthy family dynamics, and
how to strengthen the areas in which your family may be struggling.
Healthy family ties can change the lives of generations to come--
learning about them is the first step.
Systematic Training for Effective Parenting (STEP) Choose from either a short introduction to the
training, or a complete 4-8 week course of training. This is one of the most widely used and effective parenting
programs in the country. Created by
Dinkmeyer and McKay, STEP is for parents of children and adolescents.
Child Safety Often parents struggle with how much “Stranger
Danger” information to give their children, without sacrificing the child’s
peace of mind. Explore how to keep your child safe in an unsafe world without
creating paranoia and panic.
Role Reversal: Caring
for Aging Parents Whether foreseeable or unexpected, caring for your
elderly parent(s) can produce extreme physical, emotional, and mental stress.
Issues of daily needs, emotional support, relocation, parent-child role
reversal can end in irreconcilable differences.
Explore this phenomenon and learn new skills for growing together instead
of apart.
Effective Parenting Through Life Transitions As if parenting isn’t hard enough -- the major
transitions seem to hit from nowhere. The
move, the death, the teenage rites of passage.
These transitions often put a strain on the entire family, and have
lasting negative effects. Prepare
now for transitions you know are going to be coming. We’ll look at the
healthiest ways to get through them.
Blending Families A large segment of the population struggles with
putting two families together, often taking several years before equilibrium is
reached. As new partners attempt to
find out what their marriage is going to be like, the children are often going
through some of the toughest issues of their young lives.
The Brady Bunch it is not. Come
learn the best management skills for this family transition, creating a special,
new family.
Power, Manipulation and Independence We manipulate constantly. Manipulation skills are learned very early in life, but
become rather troublesome during adolescence.
Take a fresh look at your teen and learn to improve relationships through
specific, practical tools based on understanding teen manipulation tactics.
Confused by the miscommunication with your teen?
As adolescents search for autonomy, adults perceive them as speaking a
foreign language. Come learn
effective methods for talking to your teen.
This seminar is designed to prevent the “we didn’t talk for several
years” syndrome.
Battling the Blues When is it depression and when is it just feeling
down? Every person goes through
periods of feeling blue, and those who know the best skills bounce back rather
unharmed. Pick from a wide variety
of coping strategies presented to make your own personalized smorgasbord of
blues busters.
Holiday Madness Does November trigger instant stress?
Approaching the Holiday season, pressures from family and friends often
collide, producing many casualties. Gather
some fresh approaches to handling the holiday hurricane.
Come prepared to experience innovative relaxation techniques and ideas
for managing the merriment.
Birth Order Why are the majority of US Presidents first born?
Does your order of birth impact your current life?
Find out how you can use an understanding of birth order to improve your
parenting skills, work relationships and life.
