Building Momentum - Creating Short Term Wins
Building and sustaining momentum in the workplace is vital to motivation, forward movement and ultimately success. Whether big or small – wins motivate us all! Yet, in our day-to-day routines we seldom celebrate them. During this interactive workshop, we will identify ways to effectively recognize wins in the workplace, thereby creating a culture of inclusivity and engagement where people are excited to belong. Participants will work together to identify actions and events that strengthen and reinforce successes as well as walk away with a new resource or two to add to their toolbox for creating and sustaining momentum.
Syncing the Relationship (Supervisor/Employee)
Empowering Others to Act
Empowerment is based on the idea that giving employees skills, resources, authority, opportunity, motivation, as well holding them responsible and accountable for outcomes of their actions, will contribute to their competence, satisfaction, and overall growth.. We want our teams to take initiative and make decisions to solve problems and improve service and performance. But how? In this interactive session we will learn how to create an environment that supports and encourages personal growth, identify how the best leaders empower others to act, and review key strategies that you can replicate. Whether you are a traditional leader of people or an individual contributor, when you practice empowerment, you can elevate your entire organization. When people feel trusted and empowered, extraordinary things can happen.

Change Management – Working in an Ever-Changing Environment:
“All great changes are preceded by chaos.” Deepak Chopra
During this workshop, you will learn best practices on how to manage and cope with change and how to help those around you, Change could be something that excites people who love opportunities for growth, learning about new things, or who like to shift the status quo. However, in the last few years, we have had to adapt, grow and learn in an ever-changing environment without much certainty or choice. In this session we will reflect on the challenges and lessons learned and focus on upcoming change for the future. In today’s world, we see that change is constant. Some changes, however, are harder to adjust to and lead to expressions of resistance and anger. We can take concrete steps to make change more palatable by understanding hesitations, enlisting the help of others, setting up plans, and managing stressors. These steps can also help make change more accepted rather than something we have feared and resisted.
