Systems Thinking
Learn to become more assertive. This session enables participants to recognize
the characteristics of effective assertive behavior,
identify personal bad
habits, and formulate a personal action plan.
Effective Communication
Learn how to orchestrate communication to create a mutual experience of high
value. This session enables participants to understand
the many ways that clear
communication can take place, and learn personal skills and behaviors to
communicate more effectively.
Delegating for Results
This session offers some advice on how to make delegating more routine. It will
help you identify when you need the assistance of
others and ways to learn to
trust them with delegated tasks.
Managing Poor Performance
Unacceptable performance needs to be dealt with as soon as it becomes apparent,
before the situation deteriorates or the opportunity
to address the issue
disappears. If you put it off, the only options remaining are a number of blunt
tools such as discipline, job transfer,
or termination. This session provides general guidance on how to handle unacceptable performance
in a positive and constructive manner.
It also provides specific guidance on
what steps might be taken when the performance shortfall has become serious, and
more formal
measures have to be taken.
Effective Conflict Resolution
Conflict is not
necessarily destructive. If handled properly, it can contribute to
organizational learning and lead to improved working
relationships and
performance.
Effective Leadership
This booklet provides a broad process overview for the whole subject of
leadership in small or large teams or organizations of people.
Stress Management
When
stress builds to extreme levels and we are unable to cope, it reduces our
physical and mental capacity to lead a full life. Learning to
monitor and
control levels of stress so that it is a positive force is a matter of
changing our perceptions of stress.
This session is based on the premise that every person has the potential to be
creative-that we all have the opportunity to translate our
unique personal
perspectives and views of the world into new ideas and concepts that can be
useful to ourselves and others.
Is there a
secret to creativity? Can a simple change in the way we think about problems
dramatically cut the cycle time for generating state-of-the-art
solutions? Yes! And this session will show you how. It presents practical tools and
suggestions for creative thinking while never losing touch
with the essential components of the process: its looseness, its freedom, its
risk-taking. You'll learn how the elements of creative thinking
-the methods that help us get "un-stuck"-can themselves be creative. What better
way to drive home the power of the creative thought
process than to go out on a limb and be creative about creativity!
Change Management
This session has been designed to help individuals understand change and how it
can be managed more effectively.
Giving and Receiving Feedback
Giving and receiving feedback, particularly the negative or critical kind, is
tricky in the best of circumstances. Handled badly, simple
comments that are
meant to be helpful can easily become destructive.
Giving and receiving feedback takes practice; some say that
it is an art that has to be developed over time. This session explores the subject of giving and
receiving feedback in detail.
Benchmarking
Process Benchmarking is the focus of this session. It involves comparing a
process (i.e. a set of linked activities or tasks) in one
organization with a
similar process used by another organization.
Virtual Teambuilding
technology is a collection of computer software applications developed to work
in tandem with laptops, e-mail, faxes, modem, and
satellite transmission.
This training helps you to establish teamwork in your organization, by aligning
your efforts, sharing the workload,
and achieving successful early results.
Effective Goal Setting
Goal setting is one of the most effective strategies for achieving success. This
session provides guidance on the skills you need to
set achievable goals and
ensure that everyone is engaged and motivated to reach targets successfully.
Process Improvement
"Process improvement" focuses on discovering ways and means to change the way
that things get done in order to be more efficient
or effective than before.
Time Management
Making better use of time is an exercise that changes and evolves. There are
good practices to use to effectively deploy the time that
is available.
Effective and efficient problem-solving and decision-making are not only
valuable individual skills for work and non-work situations alike,
but they are
also prerequisites for effective ongoing organizational performance and success.
Project Management
Projects are a way of life, in both technical and non technical disciplines:
human resources, finance, procurement, marketing, and other
functional areas use
projects to get work done. Improving your existing project management skills
will increase your organizational and
individual performance.
Performance Measurement
This session is an invaluable resource for those who are designing, managing,
and evaluating performance management systems. It
links performance management
to strategy, and discusses it as an organizational culture change mechanism.

highly motivating work environment where employees
want to work – and
stay. The training inspires
managers to accept their responsibility to foster motivation in the workplace.
And it makes
what they need to do to fulfill their important role simple and understandable.
Effective Coaching Skills
Companies and other organizations use coaching to help people to learn to
develop themselves. The process usually involves identifying
areas for
improvement and then developing skills or competencies on the job or through
informal or formal training sessions or college
courses.
Performance Management
Every
company wants and needs productive, skilled employees. Investing in a work
force that can help your business keep pace with the
competition may be the
most important strategic decision you make. This session clearly

approach to

competencies.

for tools to help their managers, supervisors, and/or team
