Skills For Success

We customize sessions for work groups, front-line workers, and management/executive teams. You may require an interactive workshop for your team, a series of “Lunch & Learns” on site, or energizing programs for a retreat.

We’ll work with you to create a program that will ensure your team members’ personal success.

Here are sample topics we have created for clients who had conducted a needs analysis for their respective organizations:

Creating Healthier Workplaces

We offer customized sessions that encourage workers to take care of themselves so they can be more productive, both at home and at work.

Together, during an initial consultation we can do a needs analysis to discover what session(s) would work well for your organization.

Here is a sample of workshops created for clients in the past:

Creating a Work/Life Balance

Did you know The Conference Board of Canada tells us that half of our nation's population struggles with balancing life? Did you also know it is the number one challenge of the century? For many of us family, work, and friends leave little time for themselves. We wind up not enjoying or achieving what we would like to at home or at work. In the end nobody wins - not you, not your colleagues, not your employees, not your family, not the workplace. Learn how to succeed at achieving a healthy work/life balance.

Managing Change/Transition

Have you heard the old adage that the one thing we can count on is change? Jean Daniel Duck tells us “change is immensely personal. For change to occur in any organization, each individual must think, feel, or do something different.” This session benefits managers and/or their team to embrace change while at the same time maximize their performance on the job. It introduces attendees to phases of change and their impact on the worker, along with providing them with tools to successfully survive the constant changes.

Managing Stress

Did you know that many of the ailments that send workers to their doctors are stress related? This interactive session helps managers and/or team members learn what stresses them out. We’ll explore practical strategies to use daily to help alleviate the stress, which helps create resiliency so they can be more productive in the workplace.

Managing Stress During Winter Holiday Season

Does it seem like every year the stress around winter holiday time seems to increase exponentially? Attendees will explore ways to kick back and move from frazzled to festive this holiday season.

Preparing For Retirement

Are you aware that many of the Boomers want to retire “to” something? Some want to pursue lifelong interests, others want to look at new careers. And still others are thinking of travel. The list goes on. This workshop helps them re-evaluate, and set new goals for their new life ahead.

Journal Writing

Do you want your team members and/or colleagues to be more successful? Think of the people in very successful positions who keep a journal. Some use it for handling stress, divorce, career changes, creating a new life or just making sense of their life. This workshop provides lots of ideas to get people started on journal writing for success.

 

Facilitating Effectively

Meeting Facilitation

Have you ever walked out of a meeting and thought what a waste of time? This workshop teaches managers and potential managers what to do before, during and after a meeting, which they facilitate. Having a prepared agenda and follow-up minutes is only the beginning. Making sure the “conversation” leads to results is an art that can be learned by everyone.

Presenting and/or Speaking

Do you think some of your team members could do a great job presenting material or speaking on behalf of the organization if they only had the right tools? This hands-on presentation guides people towards successful stage presence, despite their initial stage fright.

Working with others on a team at today's hectic pace can be difficult. Using the power of each team member's personality to make strategic decisions may drastically improve team dynamics through improved communication and relations. High functioning teams can ultimately catapult an organization into a position of prominence and success.

A basic Personality Dimensions ™workshop creates self-awareness and understanding of colleagues and bosses.

In addition we suggest a customized application. As a co-author of a soon to be released session for future retirees, Kate is equipped to customize sessions to meet your team’s requirements.

Here are a few we have already created:
