AMBITION IS THE FIRST STEP TOWARDS

SUCCESS

Let me assist your organization in guiding, encouraging and engaging your staff to empowerment and self-awareness

trainings that leaders should want for the organization and staff 

Communication Skills

The way we communicate will determine how our interactions evolve with other people.  It can be positive or negative based on our choice of words, our body language and our tone. 

Leadership Styles

To be a good leadership we must know what type of leader we are and how we lead.  By finding out our strengths and what we need to work on, we can improve our team management.

Mediation

Conflict between staff can create a workforce barrier.  With mediation we can transform that relationship to find mutually acceptable terms, promote dialogue and find the root cause to resolve the issue.  

Coaching

Coaching is for every individual who wants to improve.  Coaching can be a soft skill that needs adjusting or learning how to manage our time more efficiently.  It can be learning how to effectively run a meeting or finding ways to engage staff.  Coaching is an individual experience, set up just for the individual.

Difficult Conversations

We all have difficult conversations at work.  It may involve peer to peer conversations or be in a supervisor role, addressing staff issues.  Learning how to navigate the conversations can lead to a positive interaction for all involved.  

Self-Concept

A strong self-concept is necessary for good communication.  It will determine how you treat your co- workers, supervisors, and others.  

Boundaries

There are workplace boundaries that need to be in place.  We learn how to interpret gestures, inform without hurting, language and word choice to use, collusion and social contact to list a few.  What are your acceptable boundaries?  

Multi-Generational Workforce

There are five generation in the workforce today.  Learning how to communicate and accommodate by generation is a great start to a positive interact with staff.  Every generation has a preferred way of communicating. Do you know what it is?

self-care/Stress

What is self-care?  Self-care is about knowing where and why you react the way you do.  Self-care is about learning to handle our stress and what causes it.  By focusing on the cause of stress and learning to manage it, we can lead a healthier, happier life.
