Employees develop skills to improve their verbal communication and interactions and with others.
According to research, engaging in effective communication and building strong workplace relationships are both critical for career success. That is especially true for professionals in today’s work environment, where more and more work is completed by matrixed, cross-functional teams that must communicate effectively to succeed.
To that end, this highly interactive and entertaining course will help participants improve their workplace communication skills. Through self-analysis, case studies, and group exercises, participants will learn immediately applicable communication skills that will help them build stronger, more productive workplace relationships.
Upon completion of this program, participants will be able to:
Difficult conversations are a reality in today’s workplace. Knowing how to face, plan for, and navigate these challenging conversations is crucial. This course is designed for all levels of the workforce who face a variety of difficult conversations.
Sample “difficult conversations” include (but are not limited to):
Key learning objectives:
Have you ever achieved something that others would definitively view as a success but despite the outward appearance of your achievement there is a voice in your head that says you don’t deserve that success? That somehow your success is more about luck, timing, or fooling others than it is about your own skill set, intellect, and competence? Do you secretly fear that perhaps others will “find out” that you didn’t really earn the success and eventually expose you for the fraud you are?
There is a label for that! It’s called Imposter Syndrome and it’s a psychological phenomenon that reflects a misguided belief that you are inadequate even though there is hard evidence to show that you are skilled and that your success is a result of your competence and hard work.
In this session we unpack the psychology of Imposter Syndrome from different angles and participants leave with skills and ideas that help them get past fraud to fabulous!
As more and more organizations move from traditional hierarchical structures to crossfunctional, matrixed structures, the importance of building personal influence in the workplace has increased – while the significance of traditional position power has steadily decreased. To that end, this highly interactive half-day session is designed either as a stand-alone course or as a complementary session to our Leader as Storyteller training. Using the fable of “The Sun & Wind” as its foundation – and self-analysis, case studies, and group exercises as its means – this session will help participants learn the necessary skills to successfully build and effectively apply their personal influence in the workplace.
Upon completion of this program, participants will be able to:
As the world becomes more complex, the ability to negotiate effectively is no longer a luxury – it is a necessity. Consequently, individuals at all levels of their organizations must be able to engage in principled negotiations that lead to win-win agreements, while effectively balancing the engaged parties’ dual concerns of relationship and outcome. To that end, this highly interactive session introduces participants to best practices in the field of negotiation skills – then gives them ample opportunity to apply those best practices during focused role plays and case studies.
Upon completion of this program, participants will be able to:
“Soft skills” are personal attributes that enable you to interact effectively with other people. These skills do not require extensive study or a technical knowledge base but they are vital to successful relationships; they include verbal and non-verbal communication skills, attitude, emotional intelligence, and social skills.
Developing your soft skills involves actively thinking about how you engage with others. It also involves intention. How do you want to make people feel? What are you doing with your verbal and nonverbal communication (tone, body language, eye contact, proximity, active listening) that either make people feel safe or encouraged to connect with you or push them away? How are you being intentional in your interactions with others?
In the age of increased automation, our ability to communicate with each other face to face is even more critical to our success. In this presentation you will learn how soft skills can help you be more successful in your relationships by actively connecting with others in more authentic and meaningful ways.
