Mindfulness at Work From the Inside Out.

In today’s workplace, we have developed ways of working that are counterproductive and stressful. Organizations want high performers but set standards that undermine people’s ability to do their best work. Under constant pressure to perform at optimum levels, meet unrealistic deadlines, do more with less and be available 24/7, employees become apathetic and depleted overtime. You’ve heard that implementing mindful practices help combat workplace stressors but where do you even start? This workshop teaches the benefits of mindfulness and provides practical applications. You’ll get tools to help your workforce make more mindful and intentional choices, which improve interactions and working relationships. Participants walk away with simple, mindful strategies that pave the way toward a happier, more productive and fulfilling work life.

One-Day Flourishing Culture Assessment.

This dynamic and interactive workshop features a streamlined approach to get the data you need to effect change. Designed to reboot and refresh your organization’s culture, this one-day event provides both quantitative and qualitative data.  The Six S Flourishing Culture Survey supplies the quantitative data. It has 30 items, which fall within one of six cultural dimensions. This quantitative data while valuable is limited in its ability to explain how people truly feel about working in the organization. That’s why qualitative data is gathered through activities designed to surface people’s experiences, observations and stories about the way work is done. The workshop is co-facilitated by a graphic recorder, who captures the findings of the group and helps the group process its learnings. The workshop ends with the group coming to agreement about the key issues that need to be addressed.

Inwardly-Focused Outwardly-Effective Leadership^® Workshop: Five Practices.

Today’s organization asks a lot of its managers.  In addition to running the business, they need advanced people skills and the ability to facilitate change.  There are countless books written and classes offered on the topic of leadership. Yet, many don’t go deep enough. This workshop puts forth the notion that leaders need to do internal work if they want to be outwardly-effective. This premise is presented and supported by organizational development thought and the latest research in the field of neuroscience.  The workshop is designed to maximize the participants’ learning experience. Concepts are presented and processed through exercises and activities.  Participants leave the event with a greater understanding of the work they need to do and clearly defined next steps.

Inwardly-Focused Outwardly-Effective Leadership^® Workshop and Journal.

This workbook is offered as a companion piece to the Inwardly-Focused Outwardly-Effective Workshop.  It is designed for those who are new to leadership as well as those who want to develop existing capabilities. It is not prescriptive. It doesn’t advocate a certain leadership style and provide case studies and a list of “do’s” and “don’ts.” Rather, it makes the case that leaders need to do internal work, which in turn, transforms them and heightens their ability to be the leaders they want to be. The workbook contains short, conceptual essays followed by activities. These carefully crafted activities help readers apply the concepts in real-time settings so they can hone their leadership capabilities.

Principles and Practices to Effect Positive, Sustainable Change.

A considerable amount of time and energy is expended to effect change in organizations.  Yet, many of these initiatives fail to produce the desired results.  This workshop shares best practices and offers a framework to help participants think through their strategies for change.  Diagnostic tools are utilized to facilitate the process of taking a “deep dive” into the organization’s culture. Through the use of these tools and the principles shared, participants leave with an understanding of the many factors that are necessary to create positive, sustainable change.   

Work Through – Work Out – Work Together Workshop.

How would you rate the interpersonal relationships in your organization? Are they positive and productive or are they problematic? And if they are problematic, how do these less than desirable interactions impact open communication, collaboration, morale, trust and organizational effectiveness? A flourishing culture can’t function on the assumption, “These things will work themselves out.” Instead, it values its people and understands, “We need to carve out the time right now to address what’s undermining our effectiveness.”  This workshop draws upon what is known about the brain to make the case that people tend to be negative. It teaches the Negative Communication Loop Tool^© to help participants understand the role they play in keeping negativity in place.  Additionally, the participants are led through activities, which create the realization they have a choice in how they respond.  Participants leave the workshop with tools to help them in their interactions and personal commitments to show up differently.

In this interactive workshop, participants will be taught this tool and given an opportunity to practice it in small groups.
