Organizations that have operated in a team based environment will appreciate the results oriented nature of this course. This program systematizes conflict management skills for workers who have served as informal resources to their peers in conflict situations. The organization benefits by having a cadre of people who purposefully and consistently apply the same skills toward the resolution of workplace conflict.
Audience: Highly regarded, informal leaders who are considered “natural” conflict management resources.
Teams that have worked well together over a period of time need to be purposeful
in stimulating team growth, innovation and effectiveness.
This full day, very interactive seminar challenges all of the team members to
assess team and individual "health" ; root out and address problems
that are percolating below the surface; and renew the team members' commitments
to the continued success of the team.
Audience: Well established, high functioning teams desiring to further enhance
their productivity and leverage work relationships more effectively.
Peer relationships in a team environment are especially challenging when peers have disagreements or otherwise disappoint each other. Often, issues that are relatively minor are not attended to - until they evolve into a crisis. This half day course will give participants three key tools to help them surface, manage and resolve conflict. They will also learn how to identify major conflict management styles and to pinpoint their individual conflict management profile.
Audience: Co-wiorkers who work in a team based environment, either with their natural work team or mixed employee groupings.

Teams deal with conflict on a daily basis. Strong teams develop productive and positive methods to handle the conflicts that inevitably arise. This program introduces the notion that conflict can be positive and explores how conflict can be leveraged and used to the best advantage of the team. Communicating expectations, surfacing differing viewpoints and developing solutions that everyone on the team can support are central themes for this program. Teams that take this seminar together can be assured of reaching greater clarity on team goals, understanding of behavior norms and a higher level of commitment to team success.
Employees often find themselves juggling multiple priorities from a number of sources, often competing sources. Meeting the expectations of others for and with whom they work is an ever increasing challenge. One response to this dilemma is to develop a method of influencing others with whom there may not be a balance of power, without damaging the relationship. In other words, influencing the boss without joining the ranks of the unemployed! During this energetic, highly interactive presentation you will assess your readiness to develop your own method of influencing upward or enhance the approach you currently are using.
This seminar is designed to provide an innovative approach to enhancing skills for members of teams. Through the use of SPHERICLES, an intuitive tool that helps people harness their own best wisdom to solve problems, participants will explore possible solutions to many of the problems they struggle with at work. The goal is to improve productivity by establishing a climate that motivates people to give their best while making every effort to help others in the organization succeed. Much of our energy will be dedicated to going beyond what is to what might be accomplished. It is an important quest, one that can have far reaching impact on how we work.
This 4 hour program is an introduction to the essentials of being a productive and effective member of a work team. This program will be especially useful for teams that are struggling with team identity or that are in the initial stages of formation. 360 degree feedback tools are also discussed.
Understanding team dynamics is a necessary foundation for building an effective work team. High performance work teams must apply that understanding as well as develop, motivate and reward team members so that teams produce superior results in an environment of continuous improvement. This program also has an 8 hour version that provides more extensive models, tools and practical strategies for established teams.
Many team leaders take on their roles because they are valued technical experts. Rarely are they given tools to leverage their skills while also serving in a leadership position. This full day workshop provides practical tips to team leaders in delegation, coaching, and providing meaningful feedback.
Application of coaching and mentoring techniques in a multi-cultural environment is the objective of this full day workshop. Participants gain an understanding of the organizational, individual and group dynamics at work when different cultures and value systems come together at work.
