1) Signature program is: Get Out of B.E.D. (Blame, Excuses and Denial): Change Your Outlook – Alter Your Outcomes

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. We do this all the time in our work and in our lives, which is insanity at its finest and funniest. Unfortunately most times we miss the humor of it all.

Get Out of B.E.D. will teach you how to ask the questions to change your outlook and alter your outcomes. When you Get Out of B.E.D. (Blame, Excuses and Denial), life gets easier.

2) Leadership

True leaders understand power and the importance of authenticity. While there are many programs on leadership, very few address authenticity and power. This program is for senior level executives who want to engage in rich discussions and exploration about the intricacies and complexities of leading people, Boards and organizations, in a way that is thought provoking, yet practical and pragmatic.

3) Communication

Have you ever walked away from a meeting and wondered, “What did we decide?” or “What did she really want?” People often don’t get the results they really want because of cluttered and/or unclear communication.

Learn how to avoid the frustration of not getting the information you need, when you need it and how to get your point across effectively, the first time.

4) Management Skills

5) Change Management

Staying ahead of change in the 21st century requires planning, accountability and commitment. Managers and supervisors must carefully plan all aspects of change including communication, technology, systems and structures to support the change. Support systems include policies, practices and procedures that are impacted by major change.

6) Corporate Culture

Our world has never seen an economic downturn like the one we’re currently experiencing. Signs are pointing to a recovery, but the business landscape and corporate culture as a whole have changed. So, how will your organization emerge on the other side? Focused or flailing?
