Workshops

I offer customized workshops that may meet many of your personal and professional development needs.

IQ+EQ=Your “Formula” for Leadership Success

What is Emotional Intelligence (EQ)? Twenty plus years of empirical research demonstrates that EQ is associated with factors that set successful individuals apart from others and produce superior corporate financial performance as well. EQ is the set of skills people use to achieve optimal performance. EQ can’t substitute for business acumen or technical knowledge, however, EQ does help you and your colleagues leverage this knowledge for greater impact. The good news is that EQ, unlike IQ, can be learned! The workshop includes activities which enable each participant to assess his/her EQ strengths and developmental needs on the job.
Some of the proven benefits of enhanced EQ are:

Increased ability to influence others
Increased talent retention
Increased bench strength for succession
Improvements in client relationships and negotiation skills
Increased profitability

“Planning for Change” – Individuals

How do you maintain a sense of control in your life and career amidst constant change? This interactive half-day workshop provides conceptual understanding of the Cycle of Renewal and practical tools to help individuals navigate the cycles of change they experience in their lives. Many of us feel we are constantly reacting to change, rather than proactively managing opportunities to move forward with our goals and plans. In a world of constant change, lives and careers must be redesigned over and over again, chapter-by-chapter, as we live them. Each participant will identify where they are in this cycle of change, create personal and professional life plans and goals, commit to next steps, and develop skills to move forward. This energizing workshop provides an empowering individual experience and powerful learning opportunity for understanding how colleagues experience and manage change.

“Planning for Change” – Renewing Teams In Changing Times

Using the same cycle of change model as described above, this full-day workshop focuses on the team. Throughout the workshop, group process is facilitated with attention to building trust and a shared team identity. The process is built upon addressing powerful questions, such as: “What is our shared history and where do we go from here? How do we successfully adapt to the many changes we experience? How do we navigate and negotiate during times of change and make the best decisions for the organization? How do we achieve our goals and not burn out in the process? Is it possible to have a successful career and a life outside of work at the same time? With a variety of concepts, tools and exercises, this upbeat workshop leaves teams feeling inspired and hopeful. It is forward-looking and emphasizes how teams can arrive at practical solutions to challenging problems, set goals that are in alignment with group values and vision, and understand the dynamics within the team.
