Perfect Chemistry:
The Winning Formula for Building Effective Teams
It doesn’t matter how talented the members are on your team, but rather, how well you work together. In this Keynote presentation, your organization will learn the art and science of creating a world-class team that energizes and produces results.
Rules for a Fair Fight: Keeping Workplace Conflict Healthy
Does your workplace equate organizational health with the absence of conflict? Many organizations establish policies and procedures intending to prevent workplace conflict. This is often a great starting point but far from a durable solution that will hold up to the subtle, and at times, “crunchy” interactions between human beings every day. A conflict that goes underground often poisons the culture and eventually hurts productivity and customer care. This workshop will provide you with engagement strategies for managing the “gray areas” of workplace interaction. You will leave with tools to help your team deal with issues “above ground” and fend off the pernicious effects of the conflict that is often left unaddressed.
Mind the Gap: Responding to Generational Differences in the Workforce
At least four generations are interacting with each other in the workplace: Boomers, Gen X, Millennials and Gen Z. How can your organization navigate a multigenerational workforce with so many different viewpoints, experiences, and values? This engaging workshop is designed with both management and frontline participants in mind. You will leave equipped with tools and perspectives to help your team move beyond the discomfort that may hamper productivity and take away your focus on your clients or customers.
Revitalizing Our Roles: Beyond Blame After Disappointment
Maybe your joy for your role started to dwindle before the pandemic as a slow progression only to be accelerated now that you are leading in the new normal. It’s a tricky spot to be in, as you may look around to find many working hard, including yourself, yet not with the usual passion. Our western culture values drive and ambition, but perhaps the state of your industry has caused you or those you lead a measure of disillusionment or disappointment, and you can’t seem to shake it. This practical and candid presentation might be just what you need to take back what the last few years may have stolen. If you are happy and love your job, great, this session will also give you the impetus to help support your fellow employees to also get to where they need to be.
The True Nature of Bias: Seeing What Is Meant to be Seen
Unconscious Bias is a reality that we all contend with as we look for ways to organize the world around us. In this workshop, we will get an opportunity to consider the implications of our own bias as it affects us and others at work. Participants will get a chance to discuss their observations with their cohort in a non-threatening and supportive environment where we can all learn from each other. We will discover how employee interactions can profoundly shape the workplace environment and society with even slight modifications to our attitudes. Finally, we look at the importance of changing the future from a history of exclusion to having more inclusion and allyship interactions.
