Flareups to Fellowship: Turn Your Team's Frustrations Into Collaboration

Most people believe the way they communicate is effective and the only way to communicate. This misconception can often lead to frustration on both sides of a discussion, which results in poor relationships, non-existent collaboration, and ineffective team productivity. Active listening is just as important as what you say and how you say it. By emphasizing listening to understand rather than listening to respond, you will build trust and transparency, which leads to positive relationships.

 

During this high impact, interactive presentation, attendees will learn active listening tips to ensure they are giving your audience member the attention they deserve, as well as practice the skills learned for instant retention and sustainability. In addition, they will increase their ability to foster an environment of trust and transparency, as well as feel comfortable soliciting and giving feedback.

 

Turn Frazzled Groups Into Functional Teams

Sometimes companies struggle to get their teams to be as effective and productive as possible, settling for mediocre results. This leads to a lack of employee engagement and motivation, as well as retention issues, all of which result in a big hit to the company’s bottom line. Team members that work well together are more productive, engaged, and happier. When employees are aware of how they themselves prefer to work, and are mindful of others’ preferred way of working, teams meld into a performance-driven, collaborative unit.

 

Attendees of this high impact, interactive presentation will have a better understanding of their own work preferences, gain an appreciation of others’ work preferences to build collaborative work relationships and leverage preference diversity, and generate discussion and alignment of work preferences to improve team performance.

 

Steer Your Ship: Navigate Your Career Growth

It is very easy to blame others, provide excuses or wait and hope a problem will be resolved when things do not go the way we planned. While this course of action may provide comfort, it can lead to discourse, lack of trust, and poor customer service. Every person has the ability to make an impactful choice when dealing with challenges and potential undesirable results of their own actions. Once that accountability choice is made, you will be able to find solutions to follow through on your commitments.

 

During this presentation, participants will look at accountability as a journey to becoming a better self, make themselves more reliable and trustworthy, and demonstrate the ownership necessary for attaining desired outcomes, and learn critical questions to ask themselves to ensure they attain successful accountability.
