LENGTH: 2-3 hours
OBJECTIVES: Conflict Resolution, Leadership Development &
Team Building
FORMAT: Available Live in-person, virtually, or hybrid
Because conflict will always happen, this is our most popular session. The difference between great teams and dysfunctional teams is not the absence of conflict, it is the collective ability to not let the conflict define the team. When harmful conflict happens the byproduct is wedges driven into relationships. Wedges left unattended are the catalyst to destroy individuals, teams ,departments, and organizations. Each of us possesses a well-developed Human Interaction Toolbelt (Toolbelt ) with all the skills needed to successfully engage one another. This session will focus on helping participants sharpen some of those tools and obtain a Wedge Remover to add to their Toolbelt . When team members use their Wedge Remover and encourage others to do likewise, they can be assured that their teams will be characterized by greater harmony, productivity and efficiency.

Returning to the workplace in 2022 allows organizations to address a long overlooked workplace challenge: burnout.

This training gives all employees the skills necessary to identify, work though, and overcome burnout. All participants will leave this session with a revitalized passion for work and concrete strategies to create a resilient team. Participants will be equipped with tools to improve team performance, efficiency and connection.

LENGTH: 2-4 hours
OBJECTIVES: Communication, Conflict Resolution, & Emotional
Intelligence
FORMAT: Available Live in-person, virtually, or hybrid
Many organizations find themselves in situations of having to deal with workplace behaviors that are unacceptable. Rude behaviors, employees angry with one another, or a lack of civility can have an adverse impact on workplace cultures. Sometimes the problem is what we say, other times it is how we say it, our timing, or it's a lack of self-awareness on how our conduct adversely impacts our coworkers. Setting workplace behavioral expectations is the foundation for preventing such conduct at work. Conflict and misunderstandings will still occur, but each session participant will leave with the tools to respond to the situation and not let conflict define the team or the culture.

LENGTH: 1.5 hours
OBJECTIVES: Belonging, Morale, Leadership Development &
Performance Management
FORMAT: Available Live in-person, virtually, or hybrid
The pandemic generated one of the greatest workplace paradigm shifts and social experiments in modern history. Almost overnight we removed millions of employees from the workplace and asked them to stay home and work. Over coming the work-from-home distractions, lack of in-person supervision, and accessibility issues will help employees. However, the greatest challenge for most remote employees is the isolation and lack of connection. This session focusses on solutions to these challenges, and best practices for creating the optimal structure to help employees succeed in the remote and hybrid environment. This session includes a discussion of leadership qualities necessary in times of crisis to bring peace, security, and confidence to employees.

The
WEDGE: Navigating Conflict
"Organization executives find themselves in the position of melding together a group of leaders who often see the workplace through specific paradigms. The CFO sees the cost, the COO sees the protocols, and the Chief Risk Officer sees the adverse consequences of the parade of horribles. These paradigm collisions combined with the paradigms of any other members of the C-Suite, and wedges will happen."
