Walking Our Talk --
Leading to Our Highest Ideal
Business leaders strive to lead high performing teams.  Walking Our Talk brings together the vision of the high performing team and the keys to achieving just that, creating alignment between the leader's talk and their actions, resulting in teams that produce results.

“Your workshop was the most informative one that I attended in regards to application in my own work. I especially liked your info because it addressed issues more at a micro-level. Which I will consider putting into use with my current and future planning here. I administer all of the non-credit programs at a small community college in upstate NY. It is a secretary, me, and about 70 instructors we use throughout the year - about 15 topic areas from customized business training through summer youth enrichment programs. Busy doesn't describe it. It seems our college is always involved in some stage of strategic planning.  My department keeps changing.”

Coaching Staff for Success
This is a comprehensive training session for managers incorporating coaching skills into the management approach.  Learning essential coaching skills in working with staff creates a positive work environment.  By learning coaching skills the workplace improves productivity, decreases absenteeism, tardiness and improves loyalty and commitment.  Coaching Skills give managers effective tools for working with staff in a positive, future focused way.  Staffs thrive in a coaching environment.  At the same time we discuss how the human resource policy integrates with the coaching program and how to work with "challenging employees". 

Using Performance Appraisals to Enhance Performance
Imagine performance appraisals that aren't dreaded but are part of a process that is positive and enhances staff performance. Performance appraisals are the perfect time to start working with staffs to increase performance and move into a performance focused culture.  Through effective coaching skills leaders can change the performance appraisal framework from one that both staff and supervisors loathe to one that is positive, affirming and results in better company outcomes.

Creating Health and Balance in the Workplace
This workshop can be done as an educational workshop for a group of managers or business owners or as an in depth assessment within an organization of the organizational health and balance.  The health and balance of the organization refers to its operations, people dynamics, and systems for communication.
