WORKSHOPS

Whether your team is in a traditional office or working remotely, I have the training solutions to help them hone skills, communicate better, and achieve success.  I offer my training in person or virtually (via Zoom, Microsoft Teams, or by recorded video).  Below are a list of current workshops, which I can tailor to your team's specific needs or time limits.  Or I can custom-create one for you. Let's talk!
LISTEN LIKE YOU MEAN IT
Effective Listening 101
Simply hearing someone is not the same as listening. This workshop will help participants identify the difference between hearing and active listening. Learn the stages of the listening process and identify areas where that process breaks down. Gain insights into your own strengths and weaknesses, and be equipped with practical tools and exercises to be a better listener and level up your communication skills. 
COURAGEOUS CONVERSATIONS
Tackling Tough Talks
Good conversations are a necessary part of working well and living well with others. The problem is that much of our communication is ineffective, especially when it comes to tough topics. We get overwhelmed, or it may seem like every discussion feels like a confrontation, so we avoid them all together. Learn how to fight the fear and have courageous conversations.
CONNECTION THROUGH COMMUNICATION
Improve Your Interpersonal Skills
Today’s workplace is a hurried one and we are in almost constant communication. From team meetings to Zoom calls, to face-to-face chats, text messaging, phone calls, and emails. That’s a lot of communication, and most of it is ineffective. It’s time to change that.
  • This course merges content from the workshops "Listen Like You Mean It" and "Courageous Conversations."
FOUNDATIONS OF PUBLIC SPEAKING
Turn Your Biggest Fear into Your Strongest Skill
Public speaking is not just the #1 fear people have, it’s also the #1 skill employers are looking for in new hires. For many the feeling of “I’m not good at it and never will be” is difficult to conquer. With this workshop, I will meet you where you are and take you to the next level by providing strategies to help conquer that fear. 
​SCHEDULE YOUR PRIORITIES
A Realistic Approach to Time Management
We all get the same 24 hours. So why do some people seem to use those hours better while the rest of us are scrambling to get everything done? The good news is there are proven skills and strategies that can be learned to turn it all around, and live out your workday, and your life, with less stress, more success, and more intentionality.
​MAKING MEETINGS MEANINGFUL
Stop Calling Meetings and Start Facilitating Them
If you lead a team, a task force, a board, a committee - and feel like you're getting nowhere during your sessions together, this workshop will help you turn your meetings around. Learn how to facilitate meetings effectively so you can get the best information, reach consensus, and be more productive during your time together. 
BRIDGING THE CONFIDENCE GAP
How to Succeed at Upfront Communication
We've probably all been there - frustrated by a thousand thoughts preventing us from speaking up confidently when we need to. But there is a way to cut through the frustration and inner noise to be un-apologetically bold communicators. 
​IMPACTFUL PRESENCE
Learn How to Inspire, Influence, and Engage
The key to successful leadership today is influence not authority. Having an impactful presence requires assertiveness in a respectful and authoritative manner, but it doesn’t start and end there. You have to know your own value and appreciate that you can – and should – have an impact. This course will help you learn what having an impactful presence means, how to communicate with confidence, and how to leave a lasting impression in any situation.
EFFECTIVE VISUAL PRESENTATIONS
Avoid Death by PowerPoint - Make Presentations that Pop
Death by PowerPoint - (noun. origin Corporate America) an overwhelming feeling of boredom and frustration experienced during a seemingly interminable presentation accompanied by visual aids that are uninspiring, distracting and/or so uninteresting that watching drying paint would be preferable. This interactive workshop will help you have visuals that breathe life and fun into your presentations and avoid the dreaded Death by PowerPoint. ​
DON'T A-ZOOM THEY'RE LISTENING
Presenting Well in a Virtual Environment
The reality is, our virtual reality isn't going away. The pandemic accelerated a growing trend for virtual offices, with 1 in 4 Americans working remotely. And this trend only seems to be growing. How can we be successful when remote communication and Zoom presentations are here to stay?
CUSTOMIZE A WORKSHOP
Communication is Key
Would you like a blend of two workshops? Or would you like me to go more in depth on a related topic? Wondering if I can customize a workshop to make it more specific to your industry? The answer is, yes! I can tailor my training to your team's specific needs or time limits.  Let's talk!
