ALWAYS IN-DEMAND WORKSHOPS

The Many Faces of

Accomplishing Work Through Others
The Art of Delegation

Delegation is a simple word, but it means many things to many people.  This workshop explores the myths and pitfalls of delegation and brings forward the very best practices around delegating work to others.

Time Management
 ​

This workshop explores the different ways to effectively plan to get the right things done at the right time, allowing leaders and staff to focus on what matters.
In this workshop participants identify both desired feelings, and undesired feelings at work in a fun interactive way, and then as a group identify a sense of shared commitment by collaboratively establishing how they want to feel when they work together, fostering deeper trust and communication through shared values.
A critical part of culture is how people feel, because how people feel drives the way people think and act at work.

Why invest in workshops?
  ​Susan Sontag has said “information will never replace illumination”.  This is the power of instructor lead workshops, where something one-dimensional (like data ) can be made dynamic and exponentially more powerful, motivating and applicable.  This is why workshops work.
